Designed and field-tested by female anglers, the Patagonia W's Swiftcurrent Expedition Zip Waders are the gold standard for performance, durability, and fit in women's technical fishing gear. Every detail is crafted with purpose — from the gusseted crotch and articulated legs for full mobility, to a submersible YKK® front zipper and low-profile drop-seat system for convenient on-water function.
With lightweight 5.6-oz upper fabric and reinforced 9.4-oz lower panels, these waders balance breathability and bombproof toughness. Built for hard days and high mileage, they’re finished with a PFAS-free DWR and include adjustable suspenders, multiple interior and exterior storage pockets, and removable kneepads for extra support when kneeling on rocky banks.
Topped off with anatomically sculpted booties for lasting comfort, these Fair Trade Certified™ waders offer next-level performance with a women-specific fit that’s ready to chase fish from alpine creeks to coastal rivers.
