Patagonia Men’s Swiftcurrent Expedition Zip-Front Waders

The Expedition waders are the most durable, feature-rich waders engineered to tackle the most extreme conditions. These athletic-fit men’s waders offer room for layering so you can comfortably fish for winter steel or chase stripers through the surf. These waders are constructed from innovative 4-layer fabrics to provide the most durable, puncture- resistant and comfortable waterproof/breathable materials ever made! Meeting Patagonia’s H2No® Performance Standard ensures the Swiftcurrent line is both durable and waterproof.

Recycled Materials

Patagonia believes reduced impact on the environment is a critical marker of progress when innovating advanced textiles. All Swiftcurrent waders maintain performance levels and include at least 70% recycled face fabric. It’s not due to the design for cheaper shortcuts, but because protecting our home planet demands it.

Gusseted Crotch

Patagonia eliminated the need for complex taping and reinsforcement. Every style in the Swiftcurrent lineup utilizes a gusseted crotch that make rock-hopping, log-jumping and steep bank descents easier with more durable waders.

Single-Seam Construction

Single-seam construction has been used for years to route critical seams away from areas of high wear. But the new, more supple fabrics in the Swiftcurrent line allow for a unique, wraparound “baseball seam” which brings articulation to the legs with a simpler patterning. The result is a more athletic, natural fit that moves better in and out of the water.

Innovative Booties

No more cold fee! Anglers can choose between two Patagonia bootie innovations to keep their dogs from barking. The expedition and midweight styles feature anatomical Yulex® booties made from the same neoprene-free natural/synthetic rubber compound used in Patagonia wetsuits; packable and pants styles utilize proven and durable seamless bootie technology.

Advanced Features

All the waders share refined on-water performance and functionality with Lightweight Black Hole fabric scuff guards and trims; updated EZ-Lock suspender systems that allow for a custom, secure fit in seconds; and the Secure Stretch wading belt that provides a solid closure and is burly enough to support a wading staff, bear spray or net.
