Rugged, zip-front waders for the committed angler.
The Patagonia Men's Swiftcurrent Expedition Zip-Front Waders are engineered for anglers who require durability, mobility, and convenience in demanding conditions. These waders feature a lightweight upper material to reduce bulk and a tougher lower material for enhanced durability, all treated with a durable water repellent (DWR) finish made without intentionally added PFAS. The gusseted crotch with an articulated seat and legs offers ease of movement, while the submersible YKK front zipper allows for quick streamside relief and easy layering. Fully adjustable, quick-release suspenders enable effortless conversion from chest to waist height. Interior storage includes a stretch zippered pocket, a quick-access drop-in pocket, and a removable waterproof pocket. Exterior features comprise two handwarmer pockets with zip flaps and two vertical-zippered chest pockets for fly boxes. Additional elements like removable foam kneepads, heavy-duty scuff guards at the ankles, and anatomical booties enhance comfort and protection. Made in a Fair Trade Certified factory, these waders reflect Patagonia's commitment to ethical manufacturing.
