Patagonia W's Swiftcurrent Wading Jacket

There are jackets that say they're waterproof, and then there's the Swiftcurrent Wading Jacket — built for the moments when "water-resistant" would be laughable. Four layers of H2No® Performance Standard shell, constructed from NetPlus® 100% postconsumer recycled nylon made from recovered fishing nets, means this jacket is doing double duty: keeping you dry while actively reducing ocean plastics. The PFAS-free DWR finish handles the rain while your conscience handles the rest.

The hood vents and sheds water fast, accommodates a ball cap or beanie without blocking your vision, and the integrated collar seals out wind when conditions get serious. Pockets are positioned for deep wading — low-profile front zips fit fly boxes, handwarmer pockets have flap covers for back-of-hand comfort when you're wet to the waist. Watertight adjustable cuffs keep your sleeves dry on the release, and the mesh-lined hem drains fast and cinches down for a close fit under wader suspenders. This is the jacket for women who fish hard in serious weather without apologizing for either. Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.
