Globally Appreciated

I've had the Seg28 (on my second one) for nearly 3 years and it's been nothing short of absolutely stellar. This bag, coupled with my Timbuk2 roller- medium, is the perfect 1-2 punch for nomadic individuals. I use this primarily as my tech gear bag (headphones, mics, Switch, iPad, Macbook, and tech caddy) and then for overflow from my roller bag- usually some sandals or boots and a lightweight jacket and the Matador daypack and bumbag storage. It's a BEAST of a pack. It's been through the freezing cold winters in Switzerland, Germany, and Japan to the warm springs in Turkey and Portugal and the blistering heat of Mexico and the Middle East in the summers. It's all-around the best bag I have ever purchased and I now have my eyes set on the G45 to replace the roller when it's dead (or maybe before as I think I'd rather carry the luggage than roll it at this point). The ONLY thing that I would change is make the straps storable and improve the carry experience with some load straps- that would be GAME CHANGING for this bag and the experience of carrying it all over the place.

I'm only on my second bag as when I returned home after 2 years out "in the wild", the shoulder on the first bag had just given out (why I suspect that load straps would help with the pull on that seam) and I needed a new one. I had contacted one of their CSRs and they had a new bag waiting on me when I got home. TOP NOTCH CUSTOMER SERVICE and how you keep a customer for life. Kudos to y'all!

Can't wait to see what y'all do next.

this packs amazing !

Love all the compartments for organizing different areas needed when trying to travel with just one bag!

  • Is the SEG28 personal item size compliant?
    The SEG28 is a soft-sided pack that complies to personal item size requirements for most airlines. Personal item dimensional requirements vary slightly by airline, which is one of many reasons we prefer a soft-sided pack over hard-exterior luggage. Even when fully packed, the back panel padding has enough give to conform to the luggage measurement apparatus for most airlines, both domestically and internationally.

    What size laptop will the laptop pocket accommodate?
    The fully padded, protected laptop pocket is easily accessed from the top of the pack. It fits up to 16" laptops from most manufacturers. 
    (Designer Notes: Fully packed SEG28 tested with 16" MacBook Pro—dimensions 14" long, 9 3/4" wide, 3/4" deep.)

    Does the SEG28 include a hip belt?
    The SEG28 has a removeable hip belt that adds stability while wearing the pack. It is included and easily installed or removed depending on whether or not you prefer it. There are anchor points for a duffle bag style shoulder strap (not included).

    Is the SEG28 waterproof?
    The SEG28 is built from waterproof materials and has YKK® sealing zippers on all external pockets. This pack is designed to withstand light to medium precipitation for short periods. Outdoor coatings add further protection by letting water slick off the fabric.

    Can I use the SEG28 as a daily backpack?
    The SEG28 is an excellent daily-carry backpack for people that need organization throughout their day. The segmented pockets lend themselves to organizing by activity or item- isolating work essentials, lunch, a change of clothes, gym shoes, and tech accessories. If you are the kind of person that sets out in the morning for a full day, the SEG28 will quickly make you wonder how you ever got by without it. Most Matador® team members choose to carry a SEG28 for this reason. Combining your daily carry with a travel-ready personal item is efficient and effective, letting you maintain more of your routine when you’re away from home.

    How big is the water bottle pocket?
    The external water bottle pocket can fit the largest of water bottles, including 1-liter bottles and Nalgenes®.

    How long is the warranty?
    The SEG28 has a 3 year warranty. SEG28 is built to last—with the highest quality outdoor fabrics, bartack reinforced construction, and strategic patterning that guarantees long-term performance. Equipment in and out of warranty is eligible for free repairs.
