Patagonia Men's Swiftcurrent® Wading Jacket

4-layer H2No shell. NetPlus recycled fishing nets. Built to fit over waders.

The Patagonia Swiftcurrent Wading Jacket is designed for the unpredictable conditions anglers face on rivers, beaches, and boats. Its 4-layer waterproof/breathable H2No Performance Standard shell is built from NetPlus 100% postconsumer recycled nylon made from recycled fishing nets, helping reduce ocean plastics without compromising weather protection. Sized to layer over waders, with an adjustable vented hood that clears a ball cap, fly-box pockets up front, and handwarmer pockets positioned high enough to stay dry when you are in deep.

Care & Use

• Machine wash cold in a front-load machine, tumble dry low
• Do not bleach, iron, dry clean, or use fabric softeners
• Tumble drying periodically helps reactivate the DWR finish
• Rinse after saltwater use and dry fully before storage
• Store hanging rather than compressed to protect the laminate

Why We Like It

Wading jackets get judged on hood and cuffs, and this one gets both right — the hood adjusts down over a cap without blinding you, and the cuffs seal low-profile enough that they do not catch fly line. The NetPlus shell is also genuinely tough rather than a sustainability gesture.
