Keep it long, treasure it long.

For everyday use, in a sub bag

With the mission of designing the world's easiest-to-use and highly portable adventure item, the Matador item is developed with thorough material selection, sewing technology, and innovative ideas. Light and durable items can be used not only for travel and outdoors, but also for comfort in everyday life.

Backpack full of functions

The backpack FREEFLY 16L is a backpack with a capacity of 16L that can be widely used as a bag for travel and outdoor activities, commuting to work and school, and even as a sub-bag. The weight of the main body is only 190g, which is surprisingly light.

Cordura nylon fabric that has been treated with silicone for waterproofing is used as the material of the main body, which is important for achieving lightness. Furthermore, by sealing the seams and using a waterproof zipper, the main part and front pocket are completely waterproof. There are deep pockets on the sides, so please use this for folding umbrellas and drink bottles. It's deep and has a buckle so you won't fall off while running. In addition, the shoulder belt is a mesh material that does not absorb water and has good breathability. Especially in the hot season, it is easy to sweat, but you can comfortably carry it without getting stuffy. The great thing about Matador's bag is that it's lightweight and packable, but it doesn't compromise on functionality.

When stored, it can be folded in three and rolled up into a compression sack for compact carrying, so it does not get in the way even if you put it in your usual bag as a sub-bag. The FREEFLY 16L backpack can also be used as a mother's bag, which tends to carry a lot of luggage because it is overwhelmingly lighter than other backpacks. It is also a great gift for those who like traveling and the outdoors.

Design created in nature

Brand Matador started in 2014 in Boulder, Colorado, USA. The start of the brand begins with the founder Chris Clearman seeing people sitting in a park in San Francisco in the morning with dew on wet grass with their jackets and thick blankets. I started to make blankets in my garage at home, hoping that if I had a compact, packable rug that I could take anywhere, I would be able to relax more easily. We have completed a waterproof blanket that fits in your pocket.

After that, I made use of my experience as a product designer in material selection and gimmicks to create my favorite travel and outdoor items, and Matador has grown into a brand of ultra-light travel gear. Chris realizes from the experience of many trips that his travel supplies are reliable, and Chris emphasizes the durability that can be used for a long time, and the natural environment of Boulder such as mountains and rivers. We are always committed to designing long-lasting products, such as testing inside.
