Patagonia Men's Swiftcurrent Packable Waders - Hex Gray

Lightest and most packable waders are engineered with a waterproof/breathable fabric and single-seam construction for durability; the gusseted crotch allows for easy movement. Perfect for travel or backpacking, the waders roll up into their own compact 8" x 13" stuffsack and weigh just 36 oz.

Built specifically for backpackers, frequent flyers and hot-weather anglers, new Swiftcurrent Packable offer serious wading performance in a package that rolls up to the size of a grande burrito. Total weight? 36 oz. But don't let the light weight fool you: Packable are the most technically advanced waders we've ever made.

The 4-Layer, 4.7 oz has passed rigorous H2No Performance Standard for durability and breathability, while single-seam construction and gusseted crotch provide unparalleled freedom of movement. Fully adjustable, waist-mounted suspenders reduce weight and allow easy conversion from chest to waist height, not to mention quick relief without having to remove your jacket. New Secure Stretch wading belt fits comfortably but won't sag under the weight of bear spray or other accessories. New seamless, low-bulk dipped booties are more comfortable and durable than traditional booties. And because even the most minimalist angler still needs to keep in touch, take pictures and unlock the car, there's an interior TPU-welded waterproof pocket that protects phone or key fob. 8" x 13" stuffsack included.

Weatherproof

• 4-Layer fabric construction for waders in order to increase breathability, move moisture away from the body, increase abrasion resistance and decrease the weight of the fabric
• Exterior fabrics are all 100% polyester microfibers that are densely woven for durability and puncture resistance. On one side of this face fabric apply H2No waterproof coating for superb waterproof/breathable performance. On the other side apply a Hydrophilic laminate. Hydrophilic means water loving and this layer pulls moisture away from the person wearing the waders so it can be passed out through the coating and exterior shell. To protect the hydrophilic laminate apply a soft polyester tricot lining (this is the lining you feel inside the wader)
• New tricot lining is the key to the fabric's performance. It's 27% lighter than previous fabric package with a 42% increase in abrasion resistance. Were also maintained a soft, supple drape to the fabric which is critical to how well the waders move with your body. 4-Layer waders are extremely comfortable
• DWR (durable water repellent) treatment on the exterior face fabric. This is one of most important innovations in wader technology. Tested all DWR's available and ultimately chose to apply NanoSphere DWR as the first line of defence in keeping these waders waterproof

Durable Water Repellent

• DWR (durable water repellent) fabric finish repels light rain and snow and decreases dry times. When DWR is used in conjunction with a waterproof/breathable barrier, the DWR finish keeps the outer fabric from becoming saturated, enabling the breathable barrier to do its job. Patagonia has long relied on a DWR with perfluorinated compound (PFC) but have been searching diligently for an alternative because of its harmful environmental impacts
