Product information "Patagonia Middle Fork Packable Waders "
For season 2018 Patagonia introduce the lightest, most packable and most technically advanced waders to the fly fishing market.
Middle Fork Packable waders feature the new and innovative seamless bootie technology, they’re built from lightweight yet durable waterproof/breathable fabric and fold into a compact stuffsack (20 x 33 cm) for go-anywhere convenience and capability. These revolutionary waders are optimized for travel, warm weather, backcountry fishing or as an interesting alternative to wet wading. But don’t let the light weight fool you: they are built to last, with heavy-duty scuff guards, newly developed seam tape and single-seam construction which moves the seams away from high-wear areas. Their strong and stretchy seamless bootie design also adds durability by eliminating the most common points of failure or leakage.
Providing maximum performance, packability and comfort, the Middle Fork Packable Waders feature a streamlined design, innovative, low-bulk seamless synthetic rubber booties, and light-but-durable H2No® Performance Standard fabric with a waterproof/breathable barrier and a DWR (durable water repellent) finish. The upper body is built from 3-layer 100% recycled nylon, the seat and legs are 4-layer 100% polyester (70% recycled). Better yet, the Middle Forks roll up into their own compact stuffsack and weigh in at just 740 g.
An interior TPU-welded waterproof pocket keeps phone and keys dry, a drop-down suspension system allows easy wear at waist height in summer conditions, and an adjustable wading belt keeps everything in place.
