The Swiftcurrent® Wading Jacket is Patagonia's premier technical shell, engineered to withstand the most punishing wet-weather environments while remaining their most versatile option for the dedicated angler. This high-performance jacket features a 4-layer H2No® Performance Standard waterproof/breathable shell constructed from NetPlus® 100% postconsumer recycled nylon—a material sourced from repurposed fishing nets to combat ocean plastic pollution. To further minimize its environmental footprint, the fabric features a durable water repellent (DWR) finish made without intentionally added PFAS. Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.
What’s New in This Version? While maintaining its "best-in-class" durability, this updated style introduces several key design refinements focused on comfort and on-the-water functionality:
- Reengineered Cuffs: The new low-profile, watertight cuffs are fully adjustable and specifically designed to prevent water from migrating up your sleeves during a fish release.
- Enhanced Hood System: An innovative integrated rain gutter has been added to the hood to shed water faster, keeping your face drier during downpours.
- Optimized Neck Fit: A redesigned drop-collar pattern provides a more ergonomic fit, significantly improving comfort around the neck and chin when fully zipped.
