Patagonia Rio Gallegos Waders

Product information "Patagonia Rio Gallegos Waders"

Patagonia’s highest-performing, most durable, feature-rich waterproof/breathable waders have been updated with a more trim upper-body fit that still layers easily. They have re-patterned the crotch so it’s no problem to swing a leg over gunwales, and brought more articulation to the leg for moments when fishing brings you to your knees—like keeping a fish wet during the photograph and release. If you fish in and out of boats, you’ll appreciate the new flat-panel gravel guards: They drain water more quickly than before, in addition to better resisting abrasion and wear while hiking or wading. The improved booties have a more anatomical, sock-like fit and are made from a denser 4mm neoprene that resists compaction better over the long haul; with a poly-grid lining for added comfort. Our innovative internal suspension system allows easy conversion to waist height and quick relief without having to remove your jacket. Outside, there’s a reach-through handwarmer pocket and large chest pocket with water-resistant horizontal zip for easy access to tippet spools, nippers and floatant. Interior gear storage includes a waterproof, flip-out welded TPU pocket, two new drop-in stretch pockets and two internal daisy chains for tools. Other fishing-friendly features: center-back hanger loop for easy drying; stretch wading belt with low-profile buckle and removable knee pads.

Determination of in-between sizes

For Patagonia waders the inseam is determined by choosing either Regular, Short, Long or King. The first part of the size defines the largest girth and the last letter names the shoe size.

For example: Regular XLM means a regular inseam (81 cm), girth in XL (116 - 123 cm) and booties in M (US 9-11).
