Reasons to buy

  • Waterproof so you won't have to worry when there's an unexpected downpour during your travel.
  • Extremely lightweight weighing only 300 grams.
  • Can be packed into a small pouch when not in use. This could serve well as your secondary bag for weeklong travels.
  • The load lifters do an amazing job with weight distribution.

Things to consider

  • The straps feel flimsy as it is thin and has no padding. It offers good ventilation to your shoulder though.
  • Quite pricey.
  • Could use some more internal organization.

What reviewers said

  • "I've raved about Matador bags online (I own 2). I've had people doubt the performance, because I guess seam-sealing is not a simple process. But let me tell you, I take my Freerain on canoe trips and have dunked the whole bag into the water. The contents are always bone dry. The bag is super light, durable, and well thought the out. I'm a big fan that wants to buy Matador far into the future, so I want everyone thinking about a purchase to know this gear is SERIOUS!"
