These days, if you follow mainstream fly fishing on social media, you’ve probably noticed an abundance of content about saltwater fly fishing, particularly in tropical, exotic locations where anglers target species you didn’t even know existed. Like many others, I’ve...
Alaska is truly an angler’s paradise, with so many opportunities to pick from it seems like one could spend an entire lifetime in the 49th and still just scratch the surface. If you recall from a few months back, Tryston...
It’s wintertime, well sort of. Up until the past few days it’s been a mild winter and it was really feeling like an extended fall. Regardless of the weather, the bug life and fish are behaving like it is winter....
I’m no expert but I know that the Patagonia Swiftcurrent Expedition Waders are pretty top of the line. I was looking for new waders because my lower end waders from another reputable source started leaking after 5 years. I was hoping to find something a little more expensive but didn’t want to spend top dollar.I found out that Patagonia reduced their prices to clear out stock for new styles. . Picked up the Swiftcurrent Expedition for almost half price. I spent a little more then I originally intended, but now I have top of the line waders for middle of the line price. Couldn’t be more pleased.
These pants are just about perfect for me. Fit is spot on, just a bit of stretch to them, and the nylon material seems to be very durable. Patagonia has been refining this design for years with little tweaks in successive seasonal colors, and they have the design dialed in just right now.
My only suggestion would be a built in webbing belt as my older pairs of similar pants from Mountain Hardware have, but the drawstring in these does well to take up a little slack and certainly is lighter for backpacking. 10/10, in my opinion.
Blown away how good these are. Have been using them in cold winter fishing and just as warm as my simms or Orvis, but way lighter and more comfortable. I will be using these in summer as well as hiking into places.
