  • Fully waterproof, packs to nothing

    There's a meaningful difference between weatherproof and waterproof, and it matters most when you're scrambling up Helvellyn in a downpour or on a sea kayak tour in the Western Isles with your camera and spare layers on your back. The FreeRain22 had a loyal following among those who understood this distinction. The 18L Waterproof Packable Backpack brings the same fully waterproof brief into the new Matador range – rolltop closure with sealed seams creates a genuinely waterproof main compartment, not just water-resistant fabric. At 10oz it still packs into its own pocket, and the LiteCush straps keep it comfortable through a full day out. DuraGlide sealing zippers cover the external access pocket, and the anti-theft security loops, dedicated location tracker pocket, and dual water bottle pockets round out the feature set. The pack that earns its keep on the days when weather forecast reliability is particularly optimistic.
