The Women’s Swiftcurrent® Wading Jacket is Patagonia’s most versatile technical shell, purpose-built for the woman angler facing the most extreme and unpredictable weather conditions. It features a rugged, 4-layer H2No® Performance Standard waterproof/breathable shell made from NetPlus® 100% postconsumer recycled nylon—an innovative fabric derived from recycled fishing nets to help clean up our oceans. This PFC-free garment utilizes a durable water repellent (DWR) finish and is crafted in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, ensuring ethical production and environmental responsibility.
What’s Different? This updated version retains its status as the most durable and storm-resistant jacket in the lineup while introducing several design upgrades for better performance in the field:
- Improved Collar & Fit: The pattern has been updated with a new drop-collar design, offering a more comfortable, ergonomic fit at the neck and chin.
- Watertight Cuff Redesign: Features new low-profile, adjustable cuffs that create a watertight seal to keep your arms dry even when reaching into the water to release a fish.
- Integrated Rain Gutter: The hood now includes an innovative rain gutter designed to channel water away from the face quickly during heavy downpours.
