Patagonia Guidewater Backpack 29L Review (2 Weeks of Use)

[@wasmadeinthe80s]

I own the 15L sling ver. of this bag and absolutely love it. I've been caught in absolute downpours and even walked under a waterfall and all of my belongings were bone dry. Can't recommend enough.

This would be super cool for an all-day paddle trip! It could double as a deck bag. I'll keep this in mind for future adventures.

Great review. I’m think of this pack for fly fishing and it’s nice to get a review on this bag for a mostly fishing perspective . Also a recommendation if you’re okay with it. Next time you do a review on a night colored pack maybe a dark tablecloth for the review table. It was hard for me to pickup the bag on a white table. Again great review.

Thanks for the feedback! 😃

That PataGucci backpack is sexy.

[@markraines8138]

Expensive!

Great video 📹 👍

Thanks for another great review. Do you think it would be possible to attach a water bottle to the straps on the outside? Or anywhere else on the exterior for a water bottle?

What brand/model is this packable rain jacket?

That's the Quechua Waterproof Hiking Jacket Raincut Half-Zip! packhacker.com/travel-gear/quechua/waterproof-hiking-jacket-raincut-half-zip/

Great review of a very nice backpack. It's just not what I'm looking for.

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for watching, Rob!

Would your team consider this a packable backpack?

[@sansong777]

Why not?

[@PackHacker2]

Hey Joe - probably not - it's a little bulky for that when comparing to flatter bags or bags specifically designed to be packed! Could you pack it though? Definitely. It's just not the most efficient option. - Tom

@@PackHacker2 Copy -- thanks for the reply, Tom!

@@PackHacker2 wanted to ask the same (packable?) and in particular, if it were to be packed flat inside a bigger bag, how thick is it (roughly, if you still have it??) and do you think packing it flat would permanently crease the materials on the sides or cause them to pinch and possibly crack? thanks for posting the review!!
