Freefly16 Packable Backpack

Watch: A full 16-litre daypack unfold from a pouch in your palm. A real daypack that hides in your pocket until you need it. Best For: Travellers who want a backup bag for day trips without carrying the bulk. 16 litres that fold into their own pocket - packs down to 9.5 x 9.5 x 14 cm (3.7 x 3.7 x 5.5 in), about the size of a soda can. You forget it's in your luggage - the whole pack weighs 190 g (6.7 oz), about the weight of a small apple. Shrugs off a passing shower - 70D Robic(R) ripstop with a PFC-free water-repellent finish and sealed seams. Carries a real day's gear - water bottle, camera, layers, and lunch for a hike or a city wander. Built to be stuffed and yanked - UHMWPE-reinforced ripstop and YKK(R) #5 sealing zippers. Always packed, never in the way - keep it folded in your main bag and pull it out on day one. *The bag you bring so you don't have to carry your big bag everywhere. Picture this: You've checked into the hotel, and now you want to explore with just the essentials. The daypack you didn't have to pack. - You pull a small pouch from your suitcase and shake out a 16-litre backpack. Water, camera, a jacket - all of it fits. Your big bag stays in the room. Made for travellers who hate hauling everything. - Day hikers, city explorers, weekend flyers, and anyone tired of stuffing a tote. The old way meant a second bulky backpack. - It ate half your luggage and you only used it for a few hours a day. This one weighs almost nothing and folds to soda-can size. Then it tucks away again. - Empty it, roll it, fold it back into its own pocket. It's ready for the next day out. REAL QUESTIONS FROM REAL TRAVELERS "Is 16 litres enough for a day out?" Yes. It fits a water bottle, a camera, a packable jacket, snacks, and a few extras - plenty for a hike or a full day in the city. "Will it feel cheap on my back, like a flimsy tote?" No. It has padded shoulder straps and holds its shape when loaded. The fabric is UHMWPE-reinforced ripstop, the same tough family as Matador's technical packs. "What happens if it rains?" The 70D Robic(R) shell has a PFC-free water-repellent finish and sealed seams, so light rain beads off. It is weather-resistant, not a submersible dry bag. "How small does it really pack?" Down to 9.5 x 9.5 x 14 cm - about a soda can. It folds into its own built-in pocket. "What if something breaks?" Matador repairs everything - in warranty or out. They fix it and send it back. "How do I know this isn't marketing hype?" It's made by Matador, founded in 2014 by two designers who travel constantly. The Freefly16 solves one problem: you want a daypack without the bulk of carrying one.
