Patagonia M's Swiftcurrent Expedition Zip Front Waders RVGN

The Expedition waders are Patagonia's burliest, most feature rich waders. Engineered to handle the most extreme conditions, the Expeditions have an athletic fit with room for layering and intuitivie, industry leading features.

It's difficult to explain the feeling of wading a river to someone who has never done it - the unrelenting current, the heart-in-throat mix of fear and excitement, the otherworldly realization that you are hiking in a river. Wading not only brings us closer to the fish, but it also allows us intimate contact - full immersion - into the rivers we love. It's freedom.
