Lightweight packable backpack

Matador's items are developed with thorough material selection, sewing technology, and innovative ideas, with the mission of designing the world's easiest-to-use and highly portable adventure items. All of them are light and durable, so you can feel their comfort not only when traveling or outdoors, but also in your daily life.

Full-featured backpack

The backpack FREERAIN 22L weighs only 300g, but its capacity is 22L, which is a large capacity that cannot be imagined from the folded state. Since it is a roll top type, when you put your luggage in it, you can wrap it around the top and fasten the left and right with buckles. It is easy to put in large luggage, and on the contrary, it can be held more compactly when there is little luggage.

The material of the main body, which is important for achieving lightness, is a cordura nylon fabric that has been treated with silicone for waterproofing. Furthermore, by sealing the seams, the main and front pockets are completely waterproof. In addition, there are deep pockets on both sides that can be secured with straps, so a large water bottle fits neatly.

Although it fits well, there is a concern that the backpack will be heavy, but to reduce the burden when carrying it, a chest strap and a hip belt are attached. In addition, the shoulder belt is made of a mesh material that does not absorb water and has good breathability, so it is designed to be comfortable to carry at any time. While pursuing to be lightweight and packable, I feel Matador's strong commitment to never compromise on functionality.

It can be used not only as a travel or outdoor bag, but also as a sub-bag by putting it in your usual bag and carrying it compactly by folding it in three when storing it and putting it in a compression sack. Even if you buy more than usual on your way home from work, a backpack-type sub-bag is convenient because it doesn't block your hands. It is a backpack that I would like to recommend as a gift for those who enjoy the outdoors and travel.

Design created in nature

The brand Matador started 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 a moist lawn in the morning dew. I thought it would be easier to relax if there was a compact and packable rug that I could take anywhere, so I started making blankets in his garage. We have completed a waterproof blanket that fits in your pocket.

After that, using his experience as a product designer in material selection and gimmicks, he created his favorite travel and outdoor items, and Matador has grown into a brand of ultra-lightweight travel gear. From his many travel experiences, Chris realizes the importance of reliable travel goods, and emphasizes long-lasting durability, which is rich in nature such as mountains and rivers. We are always committed to designing long-lasting products, such as testing in the environment.
