Packable bag that combines function and design

The Matador bags, which have long had a strong outdoor image, are now joined by the ReFraction series, with simple looks that can be used in town or on the trail, rain or shine, without hesitation. With high functionality and a design that can be adapted to any style, these bags are recommended for trips that are an extension of your life of enjoying walking around town.

"Packable," "Flexible," and "Sustainable"
The ReFraction series is based on three themes: "Packable," "Flexible," and "Sustainable.

Packable: All bags are packable, meaning they can be folded for storage and portability. The bags are stored in their own built-in pockets, so there is no need to lose the attached storage bag or carry extra baggage. Flexible: Simple design with no unnecessary embellishments in a clean, solid color fabric. Flexible enough for any style of travel, from airports to city streets to trails. Sustainable: Fabrics are made of recycled nylon and parts are made of Bluesign certified materials, a certification given to products in the textile and apparel industry that have been through a sustainable supply chain from an environmental, labor, and consumer perspective. It ensures that the highest standards for safety and environmental impact are met in their production.

The ReFraction packable duffel bag is ideal for travel and the gym. It can be carried by hand or on the shoulder. The wide opening allows for easy access to bulky items such as heavy clothing. There are no pockets on the inside, but two pockets on the outside, so use these for items that you need to get out quickly. The pockets are made of a stretchy material, so thick items such as bottles can be stored and will not move around inside. The zippers are made of YKK® water-resistant zippers, so you can go out in the rain without worry.

The ReFraction packable duffel bag can be carried compactly as a sub-bag for travel, etc., since the smaller front pocket can be turned inside out to hold the main body of the bag. Many packable bags are made of thin fabric and are not reliable as a main bag, but the ReFraction Packable Duffel Bag can be used as a main bag in terms of texture, design, and functionality. The ReFraction Packable Duffel Bag is a bag filled with Matador's technology, which has always pursued durability and lightness in its manufacturing, and would make a great gift for people who like to travel or enjoy sports.

Designs created in nature

The Matador brand was launched in 2014 in Boulder, Colorado, USA.

The brand started when founder Chris Clearman saw people sitting in a park in San Francisco with their jackets and thick blankets on the grass, damp with morning dew. Realizing that a compact, packable rug that could be taken anywhere would make it easier to relax, he began making blankets in his garage. He completed a waterproof blanket that could fit in a pocket.

Later, he applied his experience as a product designer to material selection and gimmicks to create his favorite travel and outdoor items, and Matador has grown into a brand of ultra-lightweight travel gear. Chris' experience in travel has made him realize the importance of reliable travel gear, and he is always committed to designing products that will last, with an emphasis on long-lasting durability and testing in the mountains, rivers, and other natural environments of Boulder.
