G3 Guide 50L Backpack

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I loaded this up for a multi day float trip and the roll top kept every layer bone dry through two days of rain. The rod tube holsters doubling as water bottle pockets meant I didn't have to choose between hydration and rod storage, which is a small thing that made a big difference."

The G3 Guide 50L Backpack from Simms takes over when a day on the water turns into a full expedition, hauling rods, layers, and gear through rain, spray, and long hikes to reach the good water. A roll top closure seals out moisture from above while a compression molded hydrophobic back panel keeps the ride comfortable against the body, so the focus stays on the fish, not the forecast.

Inside, the organization holds up to a guide's demands, with a large external pocket splitting into two zippered compartments, a key clip, and drop pockets for the small stuff that always goes missing. Dual reinforced water bottle pockets double as rod tube holsters, Hypalon lash points and an external daisy chain take on overflow gear, and a removable MOLLE waist belt adds stability when the pack is loaded heavy for the long haul.
