Big news from Patagonia today with the announcement of new Swiftcurrent waders.

From Patagonia:

Swiftcurrent Waders
Innovation Built on Exploration

More than five decades of outdoor leadership have taught us a few things about building waders: the value of reliability, the advantages of intuitive design and the importance of accountability to our customers and our planet. We are never finished learning, questioning, tinkering and improving.

To bring our 2025 Swiftcurrent Waders to life, we listened to customer feedback, analyzed dozens of new fabrics, auditioned different material combinations and evaluated countless fit, design and feature tweaks. Our team of hardcore field testers punished prototype after prototype for more than three years of on-the-water testing and refinement. 

Motivated by relentless curiosity and a passion for the wild fish and clean waters we love, Patagonia Fly Fishing is thrilled to present the 2025 Swiftcurrent Wader Line.

Built with innovative materials, intuitive features and a refined fit, our Swiftcurrent® Waders are a better wader experience. Repatterned for bulk reduction, reduced seam stress, increased maneuverability and improved repairability, they move better in and out of the water, carry gear more efficiently and keep tools handy. They adjust to temperature changes better and switch from chest-high to waist-high quickly. They’re made from recycled materials without intentionally added “forever chemicals” known as PFAS. We even pattern them so they’re easier to put on, take off, and repair.
