Built for the harshest conditions, designed for the most demanding anglers. The Patagonia Men’s Swiftcurrent Expedition Zip-Front Waders are the brand’s toughest, most versatile waders—now lighter, stronger, and more environmentally responsible than ever. With a breathable H2No® Performance Standard shell and PFAS-free DWR finish, these expedition-ready waders keep you dry and mobile through long days on the water in all seasons.
Anatomically engineered for all-day comfort, the Swiftcurrent features a gusseted crotch, articulated legs and seat, and a submersible YKK® front zipper for easy on/off and quick relief. The updated fit enhances mobility while reducing seam stress, and the streamlined booties deliver a sock-like feel that won’t bunch in your boots.
Whether you're hiking through rough terrain or kneeling streamside, removable kneepads and heavy-duty scuff guards add unmatched durability. The chest is packed with features like zippered handwarmer pockets, vertical fly box storage, tool docking stations, and net attachment points—designed to keep your essentials close without added bulk.
Premium Fabric Construction: The lightweight 5.6-oz upper reduces bulk without compromising strength, while the robust 9.4-oz lower material enhances durability in high-wear zones—all finished with a PFAS-free DWR coating for reliable water resistance.
Optimized Fit for Mobility: A gusseted crotch, articulated seat, and legs ensure effortless movement in and out of the water. Repatterned for durability, repairability, and reduced seam stress, these waders are as practical as they are comfortable.
Smart Design Details: Features a submersible YKK® front zipper for easy layering and quick relief, fully adjustable quick-release suspenders for chest-to-waist conversion, a top-hem drawcord, and a Secure Stretch wading belt for a custom fit.
Interior Convenience: Stay organized with a stretch zippered pocket, a quick-access drop-in pocket, and a removable waterproof pocket. A center-back loop simplifies storage and drying.
Exterior Functionality: Equipped with two zippered handwarmer pockets for back-of-hand comfort, two vertical-zippered chest pockets for fly boxes, a fishing tool dock, pack loop attachment points, and a low-profile net loop at the center back.
All-Day Comfort & Durability: Removable foam kneepads cushion while kneeling, heavy-duty scuff guards protect against abrasion, and low-bulk anatomical booties deliver a sock-like fit for lasting wading comfort.
Keep your waders in top shape: Machine wash cold with mild detergent, tumble dry low. Do not bleach, iron, dry clean, or use fabric softeners. Front-load machine only.
The Patagonia Men's Swiftcurrent Expedition Zip Wader isn’t just gear—it’s a commitment to performance, comfort, and the planet. Fish smarter, move freer, and wade deeper with confidence.
