Swiftcurrent Expedition Zip-front Waders - Women's

Rugged, breathable, and durable, the Swiftcurrent Expedition Zip-Front Waders are Patagonia's full-featured chest waders for women. The wader's H2No membrane provides reliable and breathable waterproofing that lasts, thanks to its durable 4-layer construction, which sandwiches a waterproof membrane in between a backing, liner, and abrasion-resistant polyester taffeta face fabric. We like the quick-release suspenders and drop-seat function for fast and easy relief around the river and the anatomical booties—which provide a more sock-like fit inside our wading boots (not a more flattering fit in the butt). Actually, the articulated legs and gusseted crotch do provide a more flattering fit as they improve our mobility and freedom of motion when we're hiking to our spot or wading up treacherous, rocky bottoms. The Swiftcurrent also features four pockets, two for warming our hands and two for stashing our tools or fly boxes when we're out on the water. That's a ton of features to pair with Patagonia's durable and environmentally responsible build.
