Patagonia R2® TechFace Pants – Your Go-To Under Wader and Post-Fish Lounge Layer

The most comfortable pants you'll wear before, during, or after a day on the water.

Built for cold mornings and long days, the Patagonia R2® TechFace Pants are the perfect under-wader layer for saltwater anglers and the ultimate comfort piece for everything that comes before or after the bite. Whether you're sipping coffee before sunrise or gearing down at the tailgate, these pants deliver next-level warmth, stretch, and durability without sacrificing breathability.

Made from soft, grid-fleece backed recycled polyester, these pants trap heat without bulk and slide effortlessly under waders—thanks to their tapered legs and stretchy cuffs that stay put under your socks. Abrasion-resistant overlays in high-wear areas mean they won’t wear out after a few seasons of launching the skiff or hiking down to your favorite jetty. Add a water-shedding DWR finish (free from added PFAS), and you’ve got pants that handle the spray as well as the sofa.
