  • Rugged and weatherproof packable daypack

    Packable bags are a great space-saver for travelling, providing convenient carry for your stuff when you need it, and packing away neatly when you don’t. The problem is, most are pretty flimsy, made from gossamer-thin fabrics that offer little in the way of protection or weatherproofing. Which isn’t great if your bag is getting thrown around on a packed bus, or if it is subjected to a sudden downpour. Matador’s FreeFly backpack is different. It can pack away into the included compression stuff sack, meaning it takes up minimal space in your suitcase or larger rucksack. But it unfolds in less than a minute and gives you 16 litres of carrying capacity – perfect for everything from city sightseeing to a forest or mountain hike (hey, see more, take a detour, right?). It’s also made from waterproof high-tenacity nylon, with sealing YKK zippers and sealed internal seams for dependable all-weather protection.
