Patagonia Rio Gallegos waders are Patagonia's top quality chest wader, the best choice for guides and all frequent anglers who require durability and maximum comfort for day-in day-out fishing.  Fleece-lined booties allow the angler to fish with our without socks, a nice feature in any season.  Patagonia designed the Rio Gallegos wader for the perfect combination of durability and breathability by utilizing H2No technology in varying layers on different parts of the wader.  As a result, the legs are extra durable and the upper body is extra breathable.  Anatomically curved knees and a streamlined upper body offer an athletic fit while minimizing drag in heavy currents.  Exterior seam taping ensures maximum durability in high wear areas.  The Rio Gallegos wader features Patagonia's proprietary suspender system and comes with a quick-release wading safety belt.  Rio Gallegos waders are the recipient of many distinguished awards including 2011 Field & Stream "Best of the Best," American Angler "Gear of the Year," and Fly Fisherman magazine "2011 New and Notable."

Note:  All Patagonia waders run approximately 1/2 size larger than comparable Simms waders in terms of leg length and body size. (see size chart, below)

Measurements refer to body size, not garment dimensions, and are in inches, unless otherwise noted. Inseam measurements are from crotch to floor. Fit note: Our waders are less bulky than most brands yet still allow room for layering. The adjustable suspender and belt system can customize the fit +/- three inches in torso width and height.
