Patagonia Men's Swiftcurrent Expedition Wader: Engineered for Tougher, Smarter Fishing

The Patagonia Men's Swiftcurrent Expedition Wader is the brand’s most durable and feature-rich wader, built to handle the toughest conditions while offering unmatched comfort and mobility. Redesigned with lighter materials, smarter fit, and enhanced functionality, these waders set a new standard for all-season performance.

A gusseted crotch and articulated legs improve movement across uneven terrain, and the new patterning reduces seam stress and improves repairability. The suspenders adjust easily for chest-to-waist conversion, while the Secure Stretch wading belt ensures a snug, comfortable fit.

Inside, you’ll find smart storage with a stretch zip pocket, drop-in compartment, and a removable waterproof pouch. On the outside, zippered handwarmers and a large chest pocket provide quick access to tools and fly boxes, while integrated attachment points and a low-profile net loop keep your gear ready for action.

Comfort isn’t overlooked—anatomical booties with a sock-like fit reduce bulk in boots, and removable kneepads plus heavy-duty scuff guards protect in high-wear areas.

Constructed with a waterproof/breathable H2No® Performance Standard shell, the upper uses a lightweight 5.6-oz recycled polyester for reduced bulk, while the lower features a rugged 9.4-oz fabric for maximum durability. Both layers are finished with a PFAS-free DWR coating to shed water responsibly.
