Guidewater 29L Backpack keeps essentials dry with fully submersible waterproof protection

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:


"I use the Guidewater 29L on every fishing trip—it’s bombproof and truly waterproof. I’ve dropped it in the river, packed it for boat days, and hiked through rainstorms, and everything inside stays bone dry. The removable organizer is genius for swapping between gear setups."


From wading waist-deep in river crossings to chasing storms on the flats, we rely on the Patagonia Guidewater 29L Backpack to keep our gear dry and protected. Built with rugged recycled nylon and coated with PU and TPU for full waterproofing, this submersible pack carries essentials safely through any condition. Its IPX7 rating means it can handle full submersion without leaking, making it the perfect companion for wet-weather hikes, float trips, or long days on the water.


A breathable hydrophobic back panel and padded shoulder straps keep things comfortable on the trail or at the river’s edge, while a removable waist belt offers extra support when hauling heavier loads. The internal organizer clips in or out easily, and external lash points and D-rings make it simple to attach rods, tools, or net holders. Whether we’re chasing trout, tarpon, or adventure itself, the Guidewater 29L combines Patagonia’s legendary durability with the watertight performance we trust in the wild.

Completely Waterproof!

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

I've been using the Guidewater 29 backpack all summer long and absolutely love it. I don't know how I've made it this far without one, to be honest. I got it primarily as my whitewater paddle bag to keep everything I need dry in my Aire kayak, but it is also awesome for hiking in wet weather, fly fishing, and canyoneering. This pack has been from to the bottom of a creek in a remote slot canyon to the tops of alpine lakes and hasn't let me down in the slightest! It has a ton of room for gear, an internal sleeve for laptop (or 4piece paddle blades in my case), removable internal organizer that can also attach to the front outside of the pack, loops EVERYWHERE to clip anything, and waterproof back panel/straps. You can also use a Stealth Work Station on the backpack straps to convert it to a chest pack up front. Last but not least, it is compatible with Patagonia's fishing vests and doesn't get in the way. I can say that not one drop of water has gotten into this bag and it's been thrashed in class III rapids. I love love love it! If you have any questions about this pack or any Patagonia products, I'm our in-house Patagonia expert and ambassador and would love to chat with you! amcclary@backcountry.com 801-204-4562.

Needs water bottle holder

Familiarity:
I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share

Good size and material but am essential to a fly pack is to have water bottle holder/ mesh pocket on the outside for easy access. Agree with Gabriel’s other assessment of this pack

needs some key features for flyfishing

Height:
5' 10"
Weight:
185

the guidewater back pack definitely accomplishes its main objective of being water proof. but it needs more features, especially for fly fishing. If Patagonia takes the stealth pack series features (i.e. magnets, organization, and fly patches) and adds them to the guidewater backpack, then it would be worth the price. also they need to add a mesh water bottle holder.
