Patagonia Swiftcurrent Waders
Based on 5 decades of design, as only Patagonia does it.
It was truly an honor to help Patagonia with their 2025 wader campaign. We contributed a couple days of footage and RC edited the piece directed by David Byars.
From Patagonia:
More than five decades of outdoor leadership have taught us a few things about building waders: the value of reliability, the advantages of intuitive design and the importance of accountability to our customers and our planet. We are never finished learning, questioning, tinkering and improving. To bring our 2025 Swiftcurrent Waders to life, we listened to customer feedback, analyzed dozens of new fabrics, auditioned different material combinations and evaluated countless fit, design and feature tweaks. Our team of hardcore field testers punished prototype after prototype for more than three years of on-the-water testing and refinement.
Behind the Scenes
Working with Simon Chu and Hillary Hutchenson in our backyard was pleasure.
