I wore both this past week under my waders because I was fly fishing in Alaska and they did great on the hikes and would have breathed a lot better if I didn’t have the waders on. They kept me warm when I needed it and reasonably cool and flexible on the 6 mile hikes to our spots on the river.
Good I ended up with a perfect fit and the product I wanted Ytube videos help new buyers. I saw a person wearing your product on a video and i was so curious i began to search.
Outstanding product. I really enjoy wet wading in your leggings. The experience is cooler and more flexible than traditional waders.
I have not used them yet, except for around the house, been extremely busy, but I believe they’re gonna work the way I wanted them to and they’re supposed to. Thank you guys for coming out with this product.
Laird Richards here, I wore the solarflex daily while fishing for most of the month of July in Idaho.
The weather ranged from 70 to the high 80's to low 90's and I was amazing comfortable wet wading in all conditions.
Great compression and breathability, and they dry quickly.
They give you the ability to move smoothly and effortlessly through the water.
I highly recommed them to all warm weather, wet wading fishermen.
First time trying the pant and wet wading socks. Feels great to not be overheated
Socks are great. Really would like you to add one additional size for your pants to accommodate 41-44” people
these are people you want to do business with. stand behind their gear 100%. treat you like you are important to them personally. don't hesitate to use their products.
Very excited about having these, have used twice since I got two weeks ago. Looking forward to using them as a layer too during cold Great Lakes Steelhead fishing. Great product.
I’ve been using these for smaller streams with a lot of hiking and bushwhacking - absolutely love them. They fit perfect and go great with wading boots or sandals. I still get a little sweaty in the Utah sun, but nothing compared to waders, plus they keep me plenty warm when I get out early. Highly recommend
Best gear, tried them for the first time today performed as advertised. Highly recommend if you like to walk and wade !!
The experience itself was great, with the only discrepancy from making it a 5 was the colour that I received is "browner" and "darker" that I expected (even after we looking at the website. Still usable, fots well and usable .... though, I may suggest, a lighter colour camo that could reflect fishing from the open banks of New Zealand versus a darker I am fishing the pocket water in Upstate New York (Ausable).
Where have you been all my life! I’m sure I’ll still use my waders in certain circumstances. I’m sure I will make additional purchases.
We've tested a lot of wet wading gear over the years, and the Z-Series™ Neoprene Wading Pants and Airblitz for the warmer months are easily the best we've ever used!
As guides in New Zealand, we spend long days on the water in everything from icy alpine rivers to warm summer streams. These pants have become our go-to choice because they're incredibly comfortable, regulate temperature surprisingly well, and eliminate the bulk and restrictions of traditional waders when they're not needed.
The neoprene is tough enough to handle rock, scrub, and constant use, while still offering excellent freedom of movement. The bug protection is an added bonus, especially during our summer season as we do have pesky sandflies. We've also found they pack down small, dry quickly, and double as an excellent insulating layer under waders in winter.
At Latitude Fly Gear, we've been selling the Z-Series™ & other Backcountry products to anglers across New Zealand & Australia, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Many of our customers have now put them through demanding conditions and continue to tell us they're one of the best pieces of gear they've added to their kit...
Backcountry Skinz has created something genuinely different with these pants. They're thoughtfully designed, exceptionally well made, and have completely changed how we approach wet wading. We recommend them without hesitation. 100%
