Matador 18L Waterproof Packable Backpack | Lightweight & Waterproof

The Matador 18L Waterproof Packable Backpack is a lightweight, fully waterproof travel daypack designed for wet-weather trips, urban exploration and outdoor adventures. Its rolltop closure and sealed seams help keep clothing, electronics and everyday essentials dry, while the entire backpack packs into its own integrated pocket for compact storage inside larger luggage.

Built from durable 100D Bluesign® recycled nylon with PFAS-free materials, the pack balances waterproof protection with low weight and portability. Structured LiteCush™ shoulder straps provide breathable padding without sacrificing packability, making it suitable for long days of sightseeing, hiking, commuting and travel.

Why Choose the Matador 18L Waterproof Packable Backpack?

Choose the 18L Waterproof Packable Backpack when you need more protection than a standard packable daypack. Its waterproof main compartment uses a rolltop closure and sealed seams, making it better suited to heavy rain, wet trails and unpredictable travel conditions.

Unlike many ultralight packable backpacks, it still provides structured, padded shoulder straps for better carrying comfort. When you no longer need it, the pack folds into its own pocket, making it easy to store in a suitcase, carry-on or larger backpack.

It is especially well suited for travellers, hikers and commuters who want a compact secondary backpack that can handle bad weather without the bulk of a conventional waterproof pack.
