PATAGONIA SWIFTCURRENT EXPEDITION WADERS
The Patagonia Swiftcurrent Expedition Waders are newly designed to be lighter, and stronger than any previous Patagonia wader ever made. New design features including truly articulated legs and a gusseted crotch for freedom of movement, beefier zippers, a more precise and intuitive suspender system, heavy-duty scuff guards at the ankle, a new Secure Stretch wading belt and innovative bootie technology are among the many improvements that make the Swiftcurrent waders significantly more durable and allow anglers to move better in and out of the water.
Patagonia's continuing initiative of considering the needs of both anglers and the environment in their products, the Swiftcurrent line is transitioning to 100% recycled face fabrics that surpass their rigorous H2No Performance Standard for waterproofness and durability. Swiftcurrent Waders are constructed from Patagonia’s innovative, 4-layer fabrics. Designed and engineered by Patagonia, they are the most durable, puncture-resistant and comfortable waterproof/breathable materials Patagonia has ever made.

Really wanted to love these waders, everything about them seemed perfect. I'm 6'5", 205lbs, the LLL were too short, despite saying they have a 34" inseam. They say they fit someone up to 6'4", not sure how that would be. Quality seemed to be great, but if I tried to kneel or bend over they wanted to split me in two. I'm sure I would've given them a 5 Star review had they fit. I've talked to Patagonia about making their sizing better for us that are tall, hopefully they will.

After getting sick of buying cheap neoprene waders I made the plunge and purchased these. They are waaaay better. Love the fit (true to size) lots of adjustments, pockets and options to hold all your fishing gear. Did I mention they look great too? Highly recommend!
