Product Information

Full details

The Patagonia Swiftcurrent Traverse Wading Pants are designed for anglers seeking a lightweight, adaptable solution for mobile fishing days. Their key benefit is providing reliable comfort and freedom of movement with a low-bulk design. A potential consideration is their suitability primarily for warm-weather wading and mobile anglers, rather than extreme cold or stationary fishing. These pants feature a durable, recycled four-layer fabric construction with a DWR finish and are made without intentionally added PFAS, offering an intuitive fit and innovative sizing.

FAQs

Are these wading pants suitable for very cold weather?

The Swiftcurrent Traverse Wading Pants are optimized for warm-weather wading due to their lightweight design. For colder conditions, layering with appropriate thermal base layers is recommended.

How do I determine the correct size?

Patagonia utilizes an innovative sizing and patterning system. Consult the specific sizing guide provided with the product or on the Patagonia website for detailed measurements and fitting advice.

Can I machine wash and dry these pants?

It is recommended to hand wash with a mild, non-detergent soap and cool water. Hang dry away from direct heat and sunlight. Avoid machine washing and drying to preserve the fabric and DWR treatment.

What does 'made without intentionally added PFAS' mean?

This means that during the manufacturing process, no PFAS chemicals were intentionally added to the materials or treatments. PFAS are a group of man-made chemicals that can be persistent in the environment.

How durable is the four-layer fabric?

The four-layer, 5.6oz performance fabric is designed for durability in typical fishing conditions, offering a good balance between robustness and light weight for mobility.

How often should I reapply the DWR treatment?

The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. A general guideline is to reapply when water no longer beads up on the fabric surface. Check the instructions of your chosen DWR product for specific recommendations.

Troubleshooting

Reduced water repellency

Clean the trousers to remove dirt and oils. Reapply a DWR treatment designed for technical outerwear.

Discomfort due to fit

Review the innovative sizing chart and patterning guide provided by Patagonia. Adjust suspender placement or consider if a different size would be more suitable.

Fabric feels less breathable

Ensure the DWR treatment is not excessively built up, which can sometimes impede breathability. Clean the trousers as per care instructions.
