Matador Freerain Backpack
Best ultralight packable option for spontaneous adventures.
This is the ultimate insurance policy for your gear, shrinking down to the size of a soda can when not in use. While it lacks the rigid structure and organization of a dedicated hiking pack, the trade-off is a completely waterproof, ultralight shell that handles rugged terrain without weighing you down.
