Patagonia built their Guidewater Waders to be the toughest, most puncture-resistant waterproof/breathable wader on the planet. Of course, they couldn't just stop there. Nope. They also had to be extremely lightweight while offering a groundbreaking level of comfort and convenience. In other words, the ultimate wader. Patagonia started by strategically placing varying weights of our proprietary waterproof/breathable polyester microfiber fabric package with H2No® Hydrostorm barrier according to specific breathability or toughness needs. The result? Max durability and flexibility without resorting to excessive heavy, sweat-trapping multiple layers. Patagonia's revolutionary merino wool grid-lined neoprene booties wick perspiration and create guilt-inducing levels of foot comfort. The most advanced version of our innovative internal suspension system allows easy conversion to waist height and - this is critical - quick relief without having to remove your jacket or fight sticky zippers. More features: sculpted upper for reduced drag in heavy currents, anatomically designed left and right legs and booties, built in fabric gravel guards with abrasion-resistant scuff zones and high-filtration mesh drain strip. Field repair kit included.
