I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Why We Like The Patagonia Swiftcurrent Wading Jacket
We absolutely love the Patagonia Swiftcurrent Wading Jacket for several reasons. Firstly, it is incredibly versatile and keeps us dry without compromising on our commitment to the environment. This jacket is constructed with a 4-layer waterproof shell that includes Patagonia's H2NO membrane, ensuring excellent waterproof and breathable protection. The best part is that it achieves this without the use of harmful perfluorinated chemicals. Adding to its eco-friendly design, the jacket is also treated with a PFC-free durable water repellent to effectively repel light precipitation.
What's even more impressive is that the face fabric of the jacket is made from recycled nylon sourced from fishing nets. This not only addresses the issue of ocean plastic but also contributes to reducing our reliance on virgin materials. With the Swiftcurrent, we can stay dry while minimizing our impact on the environment.
When it comes to functionality, the jacket does not disappoint. It features well-placed pockets designed for wading, including two zippered chest pockets that are ideal for fly boxes, two internal storage pockets, and zippered handwarmer pockets conveniently positioned above the waterline. This design ensures that our essentials are within reach without getting wet.
The Swiftcurrent is built with a streamlined cut that prevents line snag and allows us to focus on the fish rather than the wind, waves, or wet weather. In addition, it boasts a highly adjustable hood that offers protection against both wind and wet conditions.
