The Guidewater Roll-Top Pack is a rugged, 40-liter waterproof gear hauler engineered for the high-volume needs of guides and expedition anglers. Designed for total reliability in the wettest environments on earth, this expandable pack prioritizes dry gear, durability, and all-day comfort. By utilizing updated materials and a guide-driven design, Patagonia has refined this silhouette to handle heavy loads and long miles while ensuring every tool and accessory remains intuitive and accessible.
What’s Updated? This version of the 40L pack moves the needle on versatility and fit, featuring several key improvements over previous iterations:
- Upgraded Fabric Tech: The body is now constructed with a double-coated TPU submersible material (800-denier recycled nylon). This dual coating improves the pack's overall structure and abrasion resistance while making the roll-top easier to manipulate.
- Precision Sizing: For the first time, this pack is available in Small, Medium, and Large, allowing for a tailored fit that matches the wearer's torso length.
- Improved Load Management: * Side Compression Straps: Newly added straps allow you to cinched down the volume or expand the pack based on your gear load.
- Removable Waistbelt: The padded hip belt is now removable, offering the flexibility to switch between a heavy-duty trekking setup and a streamlined wading configuration.
- Enhanced Breathability: The harness and back panel feature an updated quick-dry spacer mesh, which provides better cushioning and prevents the "soggy" feeling after a deep wade or heavy rain.
- Modular Storage: * MOLLE Webbing: Integrated lash points make the pack compatible with a vast range of universal fishing accessories.
- Elevated Internal Pocket: The interior organizer is now positioned high within the pack for quick access without having to unpack your entire kit.
