Presented by:  Patagonia

If you've ever stood in a cold river and trusted your waders with your whole day, you know how much depends on them. This week, we unpack the story behind the Patagonia Swiftcurrent Waders, how they're built, why they matter, and what Patagonia is doing to make them better for both anglers and the planet.

Kate Hadeka and Nick Blixt join us to talk about how these waders are built, why they last, and what Patagonia is doing to make gear that's easier to repair, better for the planet, and still made for hard days on the water. We dig into the shift away from forever chemicals, how repairable panels actually work, and why durability is one of the biggest wins for conservation.

If you're curious what makes these waders different or where Patagonia is headed next, this conversation has plenty to chew on.
