Patagonia Guidewater Backpack
The Roll-Top Pack's sibling has a slightly different superpower: it's fully submersible. IPX-7 rated — meaning it can go a meter underwater for 30 minutes and everything inside stays dry — the 25-liter Guidewater Backpack is built for anglers who wade deep, fish in the rain, and don't have time to worry about whether their gear is getting soaked. The 800-denier TPU-coated recycled nylon is tough enough for years of hard use on rivers, lakes, and saltwater flats, and the welded construction means water isn't getting in anywhere, period.
Same modular DNA as the Roll-Top: integrated net scabbard (left or right-handed), lash points for Stealth Switch Packs, rod holders, shoulder-strap tool docks, and a padded removable hip belt for when the trail in is longer than expected. Compatible with Patagonia's Convertible Vest and Stealth Switch Packs so your whole kit works together seamlessly. Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.
