Compactness is usually what we look for in a travel backpack. However, manufacturers often forget about functionality and comfort, directing all efforts to create an accessory of small size.

But what if the backpack is both compact, and convenient, and practical? It would sound like a lie if the brand Matador didn’t exist.

But he exists and creates super-compact and functional accessories (by the way, not only backpacks) that are assembled into palm-sized cases.

Let’s talk about the products of the American brand in more detail.

All backpacks are made of waterproof and puncture-resistant 30D Cordura material. It is based on ripstop nylon, the strength of which is provided by a combination of fabric and reinforced thread when weaving. The advantage of such a material is increased strength: cuts and holes will not be able to disperse on such a fabric. Also, this type of weaving provides absolute waterproofness.

The backpack uses high-quality Duraflex hardware and waterproof zippers. Thus, all things will be protected from rain (but not a downpour).

Each backpack folds into a bag 11 cm long and 5 cm wide. This is the main advantage of Matador accessories — not a single thing of the brand takes up much space. Despite their size, backpacks are not inferior in functionality to clumsy counterparts. Isn’t it cool to have another bag on hand that can easily fit into a windbreaker pocket?

Matador made simple yet practical straps. They are not too soft, but «breathable» and durable. And the straps are arranged so that the load on the back will be evenly distributed. Functionality does not require large sizes.

Despite the similar features of the backpacks highlighted above, they have differences in the volume and quantity and quality of compartments and pockets. Let’s take a closer look at each bag.
