Product Description:
Built for years of hard work on the water, the Patagonia Men's Swiftcurrent Traverse Zip Front Waders deliver ultraversatile performance in the lightest, most packable package Patagonia makes. Engineered with a 4-layer, 5.6-oz 100% recycled material package treated with a PFAS-free DWR finish, a waterproof YKK front zipper, and an innovative evolution of sizing, patterning, and fit — these are the go-anywhere waders for the angler who wants serious performance without the bulk.
The single-weight 5.6-oz H2No Performance Standard shell keeps weight and bulk to a minimum without sacrificing the waterproof and breathable protection serious wading demands. The waterproof YKK front zipper makes layering fleece or thermals underneath effortless and provides quick, convenient streamside relief — no more awkward gymnastics on the bank. Easy chest to waist-high conversion with a top-hem drawcord and SecureStretch wading belt keeps everything dialed in and secure throughout the day.
The gusseted crotch with articulated seat and legs provides exceptional ease of movement in and out of the water, repatterned for durability, repairability, mobility, and reduced seam stress — so these waders move with you rather than against you.
Inside, one large quick-access drop-in stretch pocket and one large zippered security stretch pocket keep your valuables organized and protected. A center-back hanger loop makes drying and storage simple. Outside, two zippered stretch stash chest pockets provide plenty of room for fly boxes or other essentials. A fishing tool dock, pack loop attachment points at the chest, and a low-profile net loop at the center back round out a clean, intuitive exterior.
Articulated legs with heavy-duty scuff guards at the ankles deliver abrasion resistance in the highest-wear areas, and anatomical booties with a low volume, sock-like fit provide all-day wading comfort from morning to last light.
Made in a Fair Trade Certified factory — meaning the people who made these waders earned a fair premium for their labor.
