Matador SEG45 Travel Pack Carry On Review
Matador’s Seg45 Travel Pack Carry-On is an indispensable solution for travelers prioritizing efficiency and organization. It removes the need for backpacks and suitcases by dividing its 45 L capacity into five compartments for efficient packing.
Its sleek duffel and backpack design make it ideal for long flights and outdoor adventure, featuring detachable backpack straps that can be stored tidily away and an adjustable sternum strap for a customized fit.
Features
The Matador SEG45 Travel Pack Carry-On is an elegant yet practical bag to accommodate all your travel gear. Constructed of sturdy and water-resistant materials, its sturdy zippers protect your belongings from inclement weather conditions and offer convenient side access pockets and easy-access compartments for quick packing and unpacking. Although slightly heavier than other designs, this travel pack remains an excellent option for travelers.
This pack is an excellent option for business travelers who require organization. With plenty of storage space and zippered pockets large enough to hold folders, plus interior dividers to help organize items, it offers excellent versatility while remaining lightweight and comfortable compared to other backpacks. Plus, its shoulder straps are padded but not as thick.
This travel pack boasts an external laptop pocket designed to accommodate laptops up to 16 inches, making it easier to access gear without rummaging through the entire bag. Many duffel bags don’t offer such an amenity, making this feature stand out even further from other duffels.
Matador’s SEG45 Travel Pack Carry-On is the latest addition to their minimalist adventure travel gear range, combining all the benefits of the backpack, duffel bag, and packing cubes into one package for extended trips or outdoor excursions.
The SEG45 is an ideal option for frequent travelers as it meets the carry-on size requirements of most airlines and can lay flat when empty for easy storage. Furthermore, this bag features a large padded laptop sleeve and exterior mesh water bottle pocket, making carrying electronics and bulky gear easy.
Design
Matador’s SEG45 Travel Pack Carry-On offers an ideal solution for travelers prioritizing organization and accessibility. Combining elements from the backpack, duffle bag, and packing cubes into an ergonomic design allows quick access to belongings during nearby excursions and lengthy treks or international journeys.
This duffel bag has an exciting feature often missing from traditional duffel bags: a padded laptop compartment that fits a 16” MacBook Pro. This makes finding your electronics much simpler; plus, various storage solutions such as zippered hip belt pockets that provide smartphones and passports, expandable side water bottle pockets, and other storage solutions are available to keep everything organized and secure.
The exterior comprises 840D and 420D nylon with a PU coating for increased tear and weather resistance, while its integrated packing cubes feature 100D Robic nylon thread woven, featuring UTS coating that further strengthens their strength and durability.
This spacious bag can comfortably hold 18 lbs of gear. Its comfort features, such as load lifters, suspension, and padded straps, help make for an enjoyable journey. Furthermore, its waterproof materials can withstand light to medium precipitation over short periods, distinguishing this luggage from similar options.
Organization
The Matador Seg45 Travel Pack Carry On is ideal for anyone who needs their gear organized and easily accessible for travel or outdoor adventures. Its practical construction features a unique and durable design, making it suitable for traveling or outdoor adventure while offering reasonable pricing with enough room to store all your gear.
One of the hallmark features of this travel bag is its external access laptop pocket, designed to house laptops up to 16 inches securely. Many other backpacks lack such an innovative feature. Furthermore, its convenient access makes it an easy-grab solution when needing it quickly.
Built-in compartments make this travel bag even more helpful; they allow you to organize your gear by type for easier searching and findability when traveling for business or pleasure. This feature saves time and frustration by helping you quickly locate what you need.
The Seg45 features more than usual compartments; it has two accessory pockets and a zippered shoe compartment for optimal organization. Furthermore, its zippers have been well designed and engineered with rubber grips to prevent sticking when fully loaded; its shoulder straps have also been cushioned to provide increased comfort when carrying this bag.
Matador is known for their cutting-edge travel pack designs, such as the Seg45. This hybrid pack combines elements from various travel accessories, including a backpack, duffle bag, and packing cubes in one comfortable unit – perfect for long trips or business travel!
Durability
The Matador Seg45 stands out from packable travel gear using rigid materials, sturdy construction, and thoughtful features built to withstand repeated trips abroad. Notable features of this bag include its sturdy yet flexible fabrics as well as its quick conversion between duffel and backpack form; an integrated stowable backpack strap; zippered pocket for valuables in front and a stretchy open front pocket perfect for holding jackets or umbrellas – plus more!
However, the Seg45 doesn’t come without its flaws. First, the padding on its shoulder straps and hip belt is noticeably thin and firm, which could prove uncomfortable when carrying heavy loads. Furthermore, no suspension system offers additional support and takes this load around town or across an airport terminal.
The Seg45 remains an excellent choice for extended or frequent trips, thanks to its water-resistant materials that protect belongings from inclement conditions and keep them secure while traveling. In addition, its sleek design with multiple storage pockets makes finding what you need simple when moving.
Notably, the Seg45 may not be one of the lightest packs in its class; however, its weight does not vary drastically from similar options. At 4 pounds and 8 ounces, it still provides ample storage and organization features; however, if weight is your primary consideration, perhaps something from Peak Design or Tortuga may be more suitable.
Price
Matador’s SEG45 Travel Pack Carry On offers an all-in-one solution for organized travel. Combining features from a backpack, duffle bag, and packing cubes into one design provides easy access and optimal organization – perfect for nearby excursions and longer treks. In addition, there is a secure laptop pocket that fits up to 16-inch laptops!
Consideration should always be given to the weight of a travel backpack when deciding, particularly on long trips where it will be carried for extended distances. A heavy load will strain your back and leave you exhausted more quickly than one made from quality materials – which help to determine its weight; for instance, using high-quality materials like the SEG45 uses 840D nylon on high-wear areas coated with PU for increased wear resistance, while low wear areas feature 420D nylon construction with Robic weave lining and dividers to minimize weight.
The SEG45 features nine pockets in total: two 6-liter and two 9-liter pockets, in addition to its sizeable 42-liter compartment. These smaller pockets can be stored away neatly while its large counterpart opens like a traditional duffel bag, featuring separate segments that can be accessed independently – and this large compartment features an ergonomic laptop pocket located at its base, complete with padding.
The SEG45 travel backpack was designed to meet all size requirements for carry-on flights on most airlines and provide maximum carry-on convenience during flights. Furthermore, it includes an adjustable hip belt to customize its fit – something not found with other travel backpacks but makes traveling much more comfortable!
