Patagonia Men’s Swiftcurrent Wading Jacket – Waterproof Shell for Fly Fishing
Fish longer in real weather. The Patagonia Men’s Swiftcurrent Wading Jacket is a technical 4-layer waterproof and breathable shell built for anglers who wade deep, hike to remote runs, and keep casting through wind, rain, and spray. It offers strong protection without feeling bulky, so you stay mobile and comfortable on the river from early spring to late autumn.
Why fly anglers choose it
4-layer waterproof + breathable H2No™ performance
Designed to stop heavy rain and river spray while still releasing heat and moisture—important when you walk fast, climb banks, or fish hard for hours.
Smart pocket layout for wading
Two front zip pockets sized for standard fly boxes, plus handwarmer pockets positioned higher so they stay usable even in deeper wading. The clean, low-profile pocket design helps reduce snag points and keeps the front of the jacket tidy.
Hood that works in serious weather
Adjustable and vented hood with an integrated collar for extra coverage in wind and driving rain. Comfortable over a cap or beanie.
Line-friendly cuffs
Watertight adjustable cuffs help keep water out when landing fish or reaching into the current. The cuff shape is designed to reduce fly line snagging during repeated casting.
Secure fit that won’t drag in the water
An adjustable hem lets you tighten the jacket for a clean profile. The hem casing is designed to drain water, helping avoid a heavy, soaked feel after kneeling or leaning into the flow.
