Built from the riverbed up, the Patagonia W's Swiftcurrent Traverse Wader is a do-it-all companion designed to go lighter, move better, and last longer. Crafted with durable, 100% recycled 4-layer H2No® Performance Standard fabric, these waders reduce bulk without compromising toughness. A PFAS-free DWR finish sheds water while thoughtful features ensure all-day comfort and performance.
Patterned specifically for women, the Swiftcurrent Traverse Waders include a gusseted crotch, articulated legs, and a drop-seat design for true fishing function and trail-to-water mobility. Whether you’re wading deep or bushwhacking to your favorite run, you’ll appreciate the breathable performance, secure storage, and anatomical booties built to keep you moving in comfort.
Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, these waders are designed with purpose — and built to thrive through seasons of river mileage.
