Matador Beast28 Packable Technical Backpack

Packable Day Pack

The Matador Beast28 is a technical backpack that packs down into its own stuff sack when you don't need it. Throw it in a suitcase, duffel or vehicle kit, then pull it out as a full-size day pack for a hike, a range trip or a day in the city. It suits travelers and anyone who wants a capable second bag that takes up almost no room until it's needed.

Features

• Packs Into Its Own Stuff Sack — The whole pack compresses into the included drawstring sack, small enough to clip to a bag or drop into a pocket of your luggage.
• 28-Liter Class Body — The 28 in the name refers to its capacity, which is enough for a day's layers, water, food and small kit.
• Nylon Construction — The body is made from nylon, a light synthetic fabric chosen to keep the pack thin enough to fold away.
• Twin Vertical Front Pockets — Two zippered pockets run down the front panel and keep small items apart from the main load.
• Padded Ventilated Shoulder Straps — Perforated padding on the straps cushions the load and lets some air reach your shoulders.
• Side Pocket — An open side pocket keeps a water bottle or other quick-access item within reach.
• Webbing Waist Strap — A low webbing strap fastens around the hips to stop the pack swinging on uneven ground.
• Top Grab Handle — A loop at the top of the back panel lets you lift or hang the pack without using the shoulder straps.

Build And Carry

Matador designed the Beast28 around one idea: a real carrying pack that can stow almost as small as a water bottle. It comes in a dark slate finish with small red accents and the Matador label on the top lid and front of the stuff sack. Because the pack is soft-sided, it carries best with a reasonable load packed evenly against the back panel.
