Product Description
WOMEN'S REGULAR FIT WADERS WITH 4-LAYER H2NO PERFORMANCE STANDARD SHELL, RECYCLED POLYESTER FABRIC, CONVERTIBLE SUSPENDERS, ANATOMICAL BOOTIES AND FISHING-READY STORAGE
The Patagonia Women's Swiftcurrent Traverse Waders are built for years of work on the water, with a lighter, lower-bulk construction designed to keep durability high without making movement feel heavy or restrictive.
The 4-layer H2No Performance Standard shell uses a 100% recycled material package with a waterproof and breathable barrier, plus a durable water repellent finish made without intentionally added PFAS. The result is a capable wader built for long river sessions, wet weather and regular fishing use.
Designed with an intuitive feature set, these waders include a gusseted crotch, articulated seat and legs, easy chest-to-waist conversion, Secure Stretch wading belt, interior storage, exterior fly-box storage and anatomical booties with a lower-volume sock-like fit for all-day wading comfort.
