Patagonia Guidewater Pants – Review

Patagonia’s Guidewater Pants are as good as it gets when it comes to clothing. They are made of 100% nylon with SPF 50+ protection, and they are coated in D.W.R (durable water repellant) which helps them be extra stain proof. When you wet wade in these pants they literally shed water, making them a great choice for late and early season wet wading, because they do not become saturated with water. They are not quite full on rain pants, but in a passing rain shower, they will keep you dry. These pants have mesh lined pockets, so they drain fast, as well as a zippered cargo. The waist band of the pants has two stretch sections, making them comfortable to sit in the boat with all day. They are available in XS through XXL, so a wide variety of folks can comfortably fit into them. They retail at $79.00, and they are worth every penny.
