Matador, a packable adventure gear company, launched when they noticed people lugging around heavy blankets or sitting on coats while traveling or hiking. The company first introduced foldable pocket-sized blankets that could be easily packed away when not in use, and have since expanded offerings to include a wide array of adventure equipment and gear designed to be easily transported.

 

The Matador Daylite16 Weatherproof Backpack, like the company’s first pocket-sized blanket, provides exactly what you need in the smallest package possible. The backpack was designed with a waterproof Cordura ripstop material, ideal for travel, hiking and daytrips. It features two water-resistant zipper pockets with an interior space capacity of 16 liters.

 

The best part is the backpack only weighs 4.1 ounces and can fold up to fit in the palm of your hand, so when you’re not using it, the bag can easily be stored in suitcases, carry-ons or even purses. The bag’s sleek design makes for a light and attractive way to carry your belongings during your travels. Matador Daylite Backpacks are also affordable, starting at $49.99.
