I bought this bag at REI a month ago for a trip to Europe. I was traveling by plane, car, train, and for shorter distances on foot in some diverse terrain. I needed to pack enough for a week of clothes without access to laundry, some big boots, snacks, heavy winter coat, etc. This bag was simply put the best bag I’ve ever owned. The compartments were a revelation—each big but varied, but they fit well together and provided diverse but consistent places to store all you need. I have always been a hard shell guy with a roller, but this felt like a large suitcase full of gear put into a minimalist backpack that was just much more efficient than traditional boxy suitcases. Overall, a lighter, fuller experience. Clothes become padding, boots fit into the cubes with other ... MoreI bought this bag at REI a month ago for a trip to Europe.

What used to hold your clean basics becomes your dirty clothes, segregated away from the clean ones. I had fragile gifts, my dob kit, sweaters, a jacket, and all my other clothes, adapters, food, etc and somehow it all fit. I have tried to cram a week into a small roller bag for many years and this felt about the same size but with about 50 percent more capacity, or maybe a third less than a large traditional suitcase. You should really try this out. I fundamentally have changed how I organize, move, and travel with luggage from this bag, you won’t be disappointed. I’ve never reviewed something online before but felt this was so good that I am here. Much easier than cubes in a box, much lighter than a traditional suitcase, much sportier than a roller. The backpack features are minimal and probably not the bag you want if you are trekking or walking a lot, but otherwise ideal

If you're looking for a onebag solution for your next flight, this is a great option. I'm a huge onebag fanatic on flights and have successfully converted friends and family to ditch their wheeled luggage. There's nothing like the feeling of not having to worry about overhead bin space because you can always slide your travel backpack under the seat in front of you, worst case scenario.What sets this bag apart from most travel packs are the features. You don't have to spend additional $$$ on packing cubes, which can get pricey (a set of packing cubes can set you $30 - $50). You can also opt out of using the organization compartments and just roll it up and use the interior 45L instead as a normal travel pack. You can also use a hybrid of both: put dirty clothes ...

You can also opt out of using the organization compartments and just roll it up and use the interior 45L instead as a normal travel pack. You can also use a hybrid of both: put dirty clothes inside, and keep clean clothes in the packing cube part. It has a water bottle holder that's stretchy with a zipper to keep it from falling out. This isn't a small water bottle holder either, it fits my 40 fl oz hydroflask (11" tall, 2.85" wide) in the pocket. I have never seen another travel pack out there that can fit my 40 oz hydroflask. The bag is also 2.5 pounds which is incredibly light compared to most travel packs at 4 pounds and up. It doesn't sound like much, but when you're at a hotel and unload your travel pack to use as a day pack, that 1.5 pound difference adds up. Speaking of using it as a daypack, all the zippers have zipper security loops so it's near impossible for somebody to unzip your pack without you noticing.Some features that are pretty standard with most travel packs. The SEG45 can convert into a duffel or backpack, which is pretty standard but I'd just stick to the backpack version. The strap for the duffel is nice to have, but uncomfortable. Sternum strap and hip strap exists, but it's thin to cut down on weight. Exterior is 420D ripstop nylon, which is pretty thin if you're used to xpac or 1680D cordura. The laptop component is the pocket closest to your back and it works great if you want to grab out your laptop without digging into the bag.There's also a thin pocket on the top of the bag for quick access to your passport / small essentials, but I'd feel nervous about grabbing things from that pocket when it's fully loaded. The pocket opens parallel to the ground instead of perpendicular, so depending on how you pack your airpods and passport in that pocket, taking out your passport might be all it takes for your airpod case to fall on the ground with your airpods flying across the floor. This is not a great bag for long walks in new places for an extended period of time. It's meant for a commute around the airport, but anything longer than an hour, it's not supportive. There is no frame and padding is minimal. My 15" macbook pro was essentially the frame for my pack. I'd be incredibly nervous to just drop my SEG45 on the ground with my laptop in it. It's more protected than a duffel bag, but I would set my pack carefully on the ground to avoid an expensive accident. There are no compression straps if you're looking to use this as a daypack at your destination.Some unique use cases I had with this bag are the following: I have a Sony A7R4 that I take when I travel, and I would usually pack my camera inside a camera bag that goes inside my travel pack. The external organization for the SEG45 is great to just open one zipper to grab my camera instead of rustling through my old travel pack to grab my camera bag to unzip my camera. It can hold my camera body and a Tamron 70-180mm lens comfortably. As long as you pack the top/bottom packing component, it's enough cushioning for my camera. It's also great for car camping trips too. It's a great luxury to be able to find exactly what you need without rustling through the entire bag, especially when time is of the essence to avoid the rain during the mud season. I used this at a beach resort also. I had 2x towels in the center, a swimsuit in the bottom, sunscreen / aloe in another component, a couple cans of "soda" on the side, and sandals. The best part was being able to toss all the empty cans, dirty towels, and wet swimsuits in the interior afterwards without having sand remnants inside each compartment (I placed them inside a trash bag to further isolate the sand).

I loved the bag and would have kept it. This innovative design really appealed to me for my everyday uses as well as for my weekend travel needs. The materials and build quality are excellent. The problem is that the laptop compartment did not work with my 2019 MacBook Pro 16" laptop. Yes it would go in, but the zipper width on this compartment is too narrow. It was a struggle to get it into the compartment and even harder to get it out when arriving to the office. It turned into a wrestling match to navigate the laptop and my fingers around the restrictive zipper width of the bag's laptop compartment. Unfortunately, I had to return the bag for fear I was going to drop my laptop at some point during my day to day use of the bag. My understanding is that the newer ...

I just returned from a month of traveling with the Matador and I am completely satisfied with its performance! I flew across country to visit friends in CT and MA, then internationally to two islands in the Azores. The pack fit easily into all airline overhead compartments and held up without problem to rough handling during travel. I was unsure about how I'd like the individual zippered compartments, but found this feature to be one of my favorite aspects of the pack. By rolling my clothing, everything fit securely into separate compartments, making it easy to organize and find exactly what I was looking for. And the large lower compartment was perfect for storing flat objects such as rain jackets and fleece. The small compartment on top was perfect for storing ...

And the large lower compartment was perfect for storing flat objects such as rain jackets and fleece. The small compartment on top was perfect for storing small items that I wanted to grab-on-the-go, and I appreciate having a compartment on the side to store my water bottle. I used the padded laptop compartment to store my tablet and file folder with documents. I found the hip belt and particularly the chest strap allowed me to wear the somewhat heavy pack comfortably through airports and over short distances, but I would not be comfortable wearing this as a backpack. The numerous and well-placed handles made it easy to grab and carry the bag from any angle. The pack is well-designed - I can't think of any feature it's missing - and made of durable, quality materials. Though I didn't encounter heavy rain, the pack was water resistant and contents remained dry during light rain.
This product has lots of helpful features that make it useable for a variety of things. I have used it mainly for packing clothes and items for weekend trips. I don't think it is really meant to be used for camping/outdoor activity (such as rock climbing or something), but I can easily see it being used as a clothes bag for a car camping trip.The build is good and robust. It has lots of handles all around which makes it easy to grab from any angle. I have been using the backpack straps primarily, and they work great. They are not padded and there is no frame, so don't expect to be walking huge distances with this thing. I feel they are made more for walking from place to place with it: to and from a car, or through an airport. It is nice that I can turn it into a ...

I feel they are made more for walking from place to place with it: to and from a car, or through an airport. It is nice that I can turn it into a duffle at any time if I am carrying another backpack on my back instead.The segmentation took a little getting used to, but I think it is a helpful way of dividing up the bag. You also don't need to use the labelled segments, since there the bag opens up fully and you can just put 45L worth of stuff in the huge compartment. I use this large compartment and the segments both, usually putting socks/smaller things in the segments and putting folded clothes in the big hole. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like it would be an awkward fit to put folded clothes in the segments. They fit great when they are rolled, however.Each zipper lanyard has a plastic wrap on it, and one of them popped off when I was zipping up the bag. It does not appear that they can be reattached since they were molded onto the lanyard, so that is one part of the design that could use improvement. The zipper tracks themselves are fine - there is thick rubbery plastic that make them durable, but it also makes them a little harder than normal to zip and unzip. That might go away after more usage. They don't get caught, in my experience, which is good.Overall, this arguably strange-looking yet practical bag is kind of the holy grail of weekend packs. It's duffle-ish, but there are so many holes to put your stuff in, big and small, a laptop compartment, multiple ways of carrying it, and it looks like it will last a long time. It also lays very flat when there's nothing in it, making easy storage at home. I would recommend it!
This pack/duffel bag is well made and smart looking. The zippers work smoothly but don't seem like they'd be easy for a pickpocket. The overall size is great and I love all the pockets. Plenty of room to separate shoes and dirty clothes from everything else. Easy access for a laptop (or tablet). Using it as a backpack made the long trek in the airport much easier, but I love having the option to use as a duffel as well. This was perfect for a weekend trip but am looking forward to using it when going overseas as well.The only recommendation I'd have would be to have a wider waist strap.Great bag! I highly recommend it.
I just took this Pack on a week long trip with air travel. I would normally have used my work backpack to carry on and hold laptop/essentials plus checking a full size roller bag. But since it was a trip out west, I didn't need to carry a huge amount due to the heat so I went with the Matador SEG45 and a small TravelPro two wheeler that could handle the overflow. I ended up with about 18 pounds in the Matador and probably a bit more in the roller bag,The Matador does hold a lot, and when you get used to the various zippered compartments along with the undercarriage, it's pretty easy to use. The empty bag is very light on its own, and the material isn't that durable which makes the zippers tougher to use than I'd like, but you get used to it quickly.I carried the ...

The empty bag is very light on its own, and the material isn't that durable which makes the zippers tougher to use than I'd like, but you get used to it quickly.I carried the bag from economy parking all the way onto a train, then into the terminal. It's pretty heavy after walking that far. I started using the strap, but then ended up switching to the heavier backpack straps. Neither is very comfortable and after that 20 minutes I was definitely feeling back sweat. It's bulky so when you are getting ready to board the plane, it's important to be careful with your movements to avoid hitting someone with it. The airline I am on queue's up in groups of 30 with no social distancing so you need to just stay real still until you board and then get to your seat.It is important to make a mental checklist where you put certain things in the zippered compartments. I had one for what I labeled "tech" for my chargers, cords, headphones etc and another for medications. There is a nice zippered pocket at the front which I used for my keys, passport, checkbook, wallet etc.. I would prefer that there is one compartment that has a small zipper inside it for things you absolutely cannot afford to fall out, but if that exists, I never found it.As per the photos below, I had room for running shoes, a huge book, laptop, sandals in the undercarriage. Once you load the upper zippered compartments, it's a bit clunky trying to get to the lower part, but it does work. Perhaps next time I will load this in reverse order.Another tip is to put the laptop and water bottle in their places first. Once you start filling the bag up, it wasn't easy to get those items in, so I had to unpack things and start over.My 14 inch laptop fit nicely, and when I got home I tested my 16 inch HP and that also fit. Others have suggested it wouldn't take the larger computer, but that isn't my experience. But I do agree that it's best to be super careful once the bag is fully packed as dropping the Pack onto a floor could have consequences to the laptop. I've had that happen before with a backpack being tossed around and found out that the computer battery had been slightly knocked around and had to be reset. I don't think the laptop compartment in the Travel Pack is well padded so I will be very careful anytime I take it on future trips.It does fit in the overhead easily. Someone suggested that you could put this under the seat storage where your feet normally go, but that isn't accurate unless you perhaps half fill it and squeeze it in (which sort of defeats the purpose).Of note that you can see in a photo below is one of the zipper tab strings for the lower section ripped on first use. I ended up just tying it like a sneaker and it held up the rest of the week, but if I had actually purchased this (I am a product tester) I would have definitely taken it back for a replacement.On the flight home, I put the Pack in the overhead but did not take out my book or Ipod or laptop, Fifteen minutes in I realized that the way I had put it in was the opposite of the way it should have, so I wasted two hours having no access to anything besides my phone. That was a mistake on my part. It's important to either take things out immediately before you get seated or run the risk that you won't be able to access them later.My next trip is a driving vacation for four days, and I'm pretty sure the Travel Pack will work out very well since it will be in a car and it will be easy to get things out of it whenever I need to.I am not sure how much I will be using this on trips with flights. It's personal preference but the limitations of a backpack make it easier (it will always fits under the seat and you can get whatever you want at any time). The downside of that approach is that you will have to pack much more into the suitcase you bring and if you detest checking a bag, the travel pack may be the better way to go. It depends on the length of the trip and what you do when you get there.I liked the Matador and will be using it at least 3 more times this summer.
The segmented cubes that can be folded away or partially used really is a genius idea. This bag doesn’t have much structure like other bags (including matador’s own globerider) but this makes it much lighter than those types of bags. Also allows it to be used as a duffel. I took it on a cross country trip to Miami and it held all my things and kept them organized. Recommend it for anyone, not just “one-baggers.” It’s versatile for all uses. If you’re going to do a lot of walking / backpacking you’ll want something with a frame and more features like that, but for everyone else it’s awesome.
I was excited to be able to try this particular bag as I LOVE keeping items compartmentalized and organized. I thought I would use this exclusively as a backpack for when I bike commute to work but it also quickly became my gym duffel and I’m now packing it as my carry on for a trip to New York.For gym use, I love how this keeps my powders and actual equipment in different compartments. Everything is easy to access when I need it and no fumbling around in the black hole of a normal duffel bag to find that one wrap I need. I also like that if (let’s be honest, when) I spill powders in the bag it doesn’t get all over my clothes and shoes. The compartments themselves are very spacious and I’m able to bring all of my equipment, nutrition, and shower supplies with me ...

I would like to add that I wear a US men’s size 14 shoe so please keep that in mind for size when referencing the pictures.For travel, I was very impressed by how much this bag can hold! I usually utilize a rolling carry on suitcase with compression bags for my clothes to get everything I need with me. This bag allowed me to bring all my normal essentials and even squeeze in an extra pair of running shoes! That’s no small feat considering the size of them. I also really like that everything is organized, once again, for when I arrive after a long day of travel. Easy to grab just what I need and worry about the rest later.Lastly, as far as construction goes, this bag seems like it will outlast me. Zippers are all sealed and seem to be of high quality, the fabric itself is thick enough to handle whatever you throw at it without adding unnecessary weight, and I love how they secure the shoulder straps so they can be easily un clipped and tucked away when you don’t want to use them.A couple negatives too. First, I wish it had an easier access pocket for a water bottle. There is a zippered stretchy pocket on the side that easily holds one, but it’s not quick access with the zipper. Second, with this thing fully loaded, the shoulder straps aren’t very padded and comfortable. This thing holds a ton of stuff, so this could be an issue for you if you wear it for extended periods. These are minor issues for me, but worth noting.Overall, very happy with this product and glad to be able to retire my old gym bag and commuter backpack at the same time!

No need for hard cased carry-on to fit all your needs. You also save on weight which is important. There are so many well situated pockets that can be even used to separate old and new clothing without issues. You have few pockets in the front, one on the side, one in the back area, and then you have main compartment if you want to put more stuff there and less in pockets. Those pockets are deep too.For camping trips, this will pack majority of your items. The pack feels sturdy, not flimsy. Shoes, gear, clothing, ...
