Patagonia Women's Swiftcurrent Wading Jacket
The Patagonia Women's Swiftcurrent Wading Jacket is built for anglers who need dependable protection when weather turns cold, wet and unpredictable. Designed specifically for fishing, this technical shell combines a durable 4-layer waterproof/breathable H2No® Performance Standard construction with a wading-specific fit, adjustable hood and strategically positioned storage.
The shell is made from NetPlus® 100% postconsumer recycled nylon sourced from recycled fishing nets, helping reduce ocean plastic waste. A durable water repellent finish made without intentionally added PFAS helps shed moisture, while the jacket's streamlined design allows comfortable layering over waders without unnecessary bulk.
4-Layer Waterproof and Breathable Protection
The Swiftcurrent Wading Jacket uses Patagonia's 4-layer H2No® Performance Standard shell for durable waterproof and breathable performance in demanding wet-weather conditions. Its NetPlus® nylon face fabric is made from 100% postconsumer recycled fishing nets.
Fishing-Specific Hood and Collar
An easily adjustable, vented hood provides coverage without unnecessarily restricting visibility. The hood accommodates a ball cap or beanie and includes a rain gutter that helps direct water away from the face.
An integrated collar adds protection around the neck and face when fishing through heavy rain, wind and changing conditions.
Designed to Layer Over Waders
The women's-specific fit is sized to accommodate insulating layers while comfortably fitting over waders. Its streamlined construction helps maintain freedom of movement while casting, rowing or covering water on foot.
Fly Box and Handwarmer Storage
Two low-profile front zippered pockets are sized to hold fly boxes and other frequently used fishing essentials.
Separate zippered handwarmer pockets are positioned high enough for use while deep wading. Protective flap covers provide additional comfort across the backs of the hands when taking shelter from cold or wet conditions.
Watertight Adjustable Cuffs
Low-profile adjustable cuffs are designed to create a watertight seal around the wrists. This construction helps keep water from running inside the sleeves when handling or releasing fish.
Adjustable, Drainable Hem
A mesh-lined hem enclosure allows excess water to drain rather than collect inside the jacket. An integrated elastic drawcord adjusts the hem for a closer fit that helps reduce excess material and drag.
Fair Trade Certified™ Construction
The Patagonia Women's Swiftcurrent Wading Jacket is made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, which means the people who made the product earned a premium for their labor.
