Patagonia Guidewater Switch Pack 12L

The Patagonia Guidewater Switch Pack 12L is a fully waterproof, submersible fishing pack built for anglers who want adaptable storage without sacrificing durability or accessibility. Designed for demanding wet environments, it can be worn as a left- or right-shoulder sling or converted into a hip pack to match different fishing styles and conditions.

Constructed from rugged recycled 800-denier nylon with TPU coating on both sides, the Guidewater Switch Pack is made for years of hard use from freshwater rivers to saltwater flats. An IPX-7 waterproof rating, integrated net storage and multiple attachment points help keep essential gear protected, organized and close at hand.

Fully Submersible IPX-7 Protection

The Guidewater Switch Pack is fully waterproof, submersible and IPX-7 rated. It is designed to remain waterproof when submerged in up to one meter of water for 30 minutes, helping protect tackle, electronics and other essentials during deep wading or unexpected immersion.

Rugged 800-Denier Construction

The pack is constructed from recycled 800-denier nylon with TPU coating on both the front and back. This durable construction provides the abrasion resistance and waterproof performance needed for repeated use around rivers, boats and saltwater environments.

Sling-to-Hip Pack Versatility

The Guidewater Switch Pack easily converts from a sling pack to a hip pack, giving anglers multiple carrying options in one compact system.

It can be configured for either left- or right-shoulder carry when used as a sling, allowing anglers to customize access and fit to their preference.

Adaptable Fishing Gear Organization

Multiple lash points provide attachment options for additional fishing gear, including 3-liter and 5-liter Patagonia Stealth Switch Packs, rod holders and an external bottle carrier.

Tool docks on the shoulder strap keep frequently used accessories readily accessible while fishing.

Integrated Net Scabbard

A net scabbard is integrated into the back panel for secure, out-of-the-way storage. The ambidextrous design provides convenient net access for either left- or right-handed anglers.

Convenient Pocket Storage

A zippered stretch pocket on the shoulder strap provides quick access to frequently used items. An internal zip-secure pocket helps keep smaller essentials protected and organized inside the pack.
