Reasons to buy

  • Highly durable and waterproof fabric that will make this bag last for a long time.
  • Holds more than it looks.
  • The size is perfectly fit for a daypack.
  • The hydration pocket can double as a laptop sleeve since it can hold up to 15" laptops.

Things to consider

  • Not the most comfortable pack for your back.
  • Can still take up space even though when packed.

What reviewers said

  • Matador definitely has some amazing quality, these bags are incredibly light and tough. I've thrown them in the dirt, rubbed against trees and this thin light material is still staying strong!
  • Love this backpack. It was a Christmas gift. It’s really light weight, so it packs really well for travel. It’s really comfortable for day hiking. I also use it while riding my bicycle.
