Patagonia Swiftcurrent Traverse Wading Pants - Patagonia

The Traverse Wading Pants are designed for lightweight, warm-weather wading. For colder conditions, layering with insulated base layers is recommended, but they may not provide sufficient warmth for prolonged immersion in icy water.

Rinse with fresh water after use. Wash by hand or on a delicate machine cycle with a technical wash or mild, non-detergent soap. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Hang dry away from direct heat.

Using 100% recycled materials reduces the environmental impact associated with manufacturing new materials, aligning with Patagonia's commitment to sustainability.

While they are designed to be compatible with most wading boots, using Patagonia wading boots is recommended to ensure the best possible seal between the boot and the pant leg (if using separate gaiters or integrated features).

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep you dry and maintain the breathability of the material.

Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably hung up to avoid unnecessary creasing. Ensure they are completely dry before storage.

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are chemicals often used in DWR treatments. This statement means that Patagonia has chosen not to add these specific chemicals during the manufacturing process.

The DWR finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment specifically designed for technical outdoor apparel. Ensure the fabric itself is not compromised; if so, repair any punctures or tears.

This indicates the DWR treatment needs to be refreshed. Clean the garment thoroughly and apply a new DWR coating following the product's instructions.

Verify that the correct size has been selected. Check the fit around the waist, hips, and legs. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers that do not bunch up.

Clean the zipper teeth with fresh water and a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a specific zipper lubricant.
