Skwala Backeddy Fishing Pants

Designed for year-round fishing use, the Skwala Backeddy Fishing Pants combine durability, mobility, and comfort better than almost any technical fishing pant on the market. Built for anglers who spend serious time outdoors, they’re equally at home walking riverbanks, travelling, wet wading, or fishing hard through long days on the water.

• Lightweight and highly breathable fishing pants

• Built from durable Primeflex™ double weave stretch fabric

• Excellent mobility and all-day comfort

• Fast drying and low water absorption

• Highly abrasion resistant for hard fishing environments

• Dual jean-style hand pockets

• Dual zippered side pockets for secure storage

• Rear pockets including one zippered pocket

• Integrated tool caddies for pliers, forceps, or sunglasses

• Designed specifically for active fishing use

Building on the huge success of the Skwala Sol Wading Pants, the Backeddy is the tougher and more versatile option in the lineup. Where the Sol focuses more on ultra-lightweight comfort for hot-weather wet wading, the Backeddy adds extra durability, abrasion resistance, and structure for anglers wanting a more all-around fishing pant.

The Primeflex™ double weave stretch fabric moves exceptionally well while still feeling tough and substantial enough for serious use. Whether you’re climbing over rocks, hiking into remote water, jumping in and out of boats, or spending all day walking riverbanks, these pants stay comfortable without restricting movement.

Unlike many technical fishing pants that can feel stiff or overly synthetic, the Backeddy feels natural against the skin while still drying quickly and handling rough conditions extremely well. The breathable fabric also makes them comfortable across a surprisingly wide range of temperatures, which is exactly why they work so well as a true year-round fishing pant.

The pocket layout is another standout feature. Zippered side pockets securely hold essentials, while the built-in tool caddies make it easy to keep pliers, forceps, or sunglasses close at hand without cluttering your setup.

As Skwala themselves put it, these are “the most comfortable, durable, and versatile fishing pants to ever grace an angler’s backside” — and honestly, it’s hard to argue once you spend a day wearing them.

Who is this for?

Perfect for anglers wanting a highly versatile fishing pant they can comfortably wear year-round. Ideal for trout fishing rivers and lakes, wet wading through summer, hiking into New Zealand backcountry water, or fishing tough tropical locations like Hinchinbrook and Cape York where durability, comfort, and mobility really matter.
