Matador Beast28 Ultralight Technical Backpack


Durable, flexible frame, packable from Matador

Matador Beast28 Ultralight Technical Backpack

The Beast28 is an ultralight packable frame pack engineered for technical outdoor pursuits. 

The Beast28 is an ultralight frame pack engineered for technical outdoor pursuits. A flexible frame suspension system provides support and torsion with movement, while still allowing the bag to pack down small for travel. This fully-featured alpine pack is built from Robic fabric and reinforced with a UTS coating for weatherproofing and durability. 

DESIGNED FOR TECHNICAL OUTDOOR OBJECTIVES 
The Beast28 is equipped with everything you need to take on your pursuit, including hydration compatibility, gear loops for alpine tools and hiking poles, and daisy chains for additional external storage. Ultralight at just 680 grams, the Beast28 is prepared to help you fight gravity without excess weight. 

UNCOMPROMISING DURABILITY
Built from industry-leading Robic nylon and best-in-class YKK hardware, the Beast28 is designed for long-lasting durability you can depend on. Tackle your objective knowing your equipment won’t let you down. 

COMFORT FOR THE LONG HAUL 
The Beast28 is designed to move with you, offering all-day comfort and flexibility with movement. The flexible frame suspension system distributes your pack evenly from shoulders to hips, while the waist and sternum strap offer a customized fit to your body and support for heavy loads. 

PACKS DOWN FOR TRAVEL
The Beast28 quickly and easily packs down small for efficient travel. Simply twist and fold the pack in half and secure inside the included compression sack. Unpack the bag and the spring steel frame will restore the shape of the pack instantly. 

FLEXIBLE FRAME SUSPENSION
The Beast28 features an innovative spring steel frame, which allows for both structure and packability. The flexible frame suspension provides comfort and torsion with movement, for an agile fit that moves with you and distributes loads evenly. When not in use, simply twist and fold the frame, and secure into the compression sack. The spring steel frame bounces back into its original shape when released. 

ORGANIZATION ON THE TRAIL
The main compartment features an asymmetrical clamshell zipper, making it easy to access the larger items at the bottom of your pack. An oversized front compartment extends to the bottom of the pack, while a zippered pocket inside protects your smaller items. Safely store valuable items in the small interior pocket with keyloop.

HYDRATION COMPATIBLE
An internal hydration sleeve accommodates most 1-3 liter reservoirs, with hose routing features on both shoulder straps for a customized fit. 

STOW FOR TRANSIT
Easily twist, fold, and store the pack in the included compression sack for travel. Ultralight at just 680 grams, the Beast28 makes it easy to take a fully capable alpine pack with you wherever you go.

Manufacturer "Matador"

We are focused on engineering high performance travel equipment. Our strengths in design, material technology, and construction give us an edge in developing innovative products that bring outdoor expertise to the pursuit of travel. 

ROOTED IN COLORADO
Matador travel equipment is designed and tested at the headquarters in Boulder, Colorado. As a design centric brand, we live in the environment that our products are designed for.

COMMITMENT TO PERFORMANCE
Matador equipment is designed to perform, regardless of conditions. Every decision we make is focused on product performance ­first and foremost. All materials, coatings, hardware, and features are carefully considered to ensure that the end product performs without compromise.

SIMPLICITY IS BEST
Matador products are designed with a specific application in mind. We carefully select features that are necessary and eliminate everything that is not. By avoiding added features and details, Matador products perform better at what they are designed for.

INNOVATION
At Matador, we are not afraid of new and different - if it’s better. Matador equipment is designed on the foundation of proven construction and material application. But, we are not afraid of shaking up the tried and true in pursuit of products that are lighter, more durable, or just downright better.

BRAND CULTURE
At Matador, we believe travel is a powerful tool in garnering perspective through experience. Packing less and experiencing more is a core tenet of our brand and of people who depend on our products. We design lightweight, efficient travel equipment for those that travel light and fast. 

ETHICS IN PRACTICE
From our in-house repair program to ethical manufacturing and carbon neutral freight, we work behind the scenes to uphold ethical and sustainable practices throughout our business. We believe sustainability is a necessary business practice, not a marketing strategy.

Matador is funded solely by our customers. We are not VC funded, crowdfunded on Kickstarter, or pressured by outside influences. We are focused on designing performance travel equipment, period.
