45L SEG Hybrid Travel Pack

I love this bag. I hear some complaints in some YouTube videos. This bag is the perfect companion for anyone whether you like the organised. My bag was full of stuff weighing over 13 kg. The side handles and the overall bag are very sturdy. It was very easy to bring it up in the aeroplane cabin. It holds so many that you won't believe it. My advice is to anyone who likes easy access and to avoid any suitcases. Just buy this travel companion and you never regret it.

I have used the SEG 45 before and loved the built-in organization, so this updated hybrid version immediately made sense to me. I love that each section has its own zipper because it makes it easy to separate outfits, tech, toiletries, and all the little extras that usually get lost in a travel bag. And if I need one larger carry-all space, I like that I can use it that way too. It feels sturdy, practical, and perfect for longer trips or travel days when my husband and I are carrying clothes, laptops, and filming gear.

This pack makes it seem like Matador solved high efficiency luggage! Built in, compartments/packing cubes all across the front while maintaining a spacious interior. Protected spaces for valuables. Comfortable to carry around even when it gets heavy. Top notch backpacker luggage!

Honestly obsessed with the segmented organization on this one, it's basically packing cubes built right into the bag, so I always know where everything is. Switching between backpack and duffel mode is clutch depending on how far I'm walking with it, and the undercarriage compartment is perfect for tossing in dirty laundry or hiking boots. Feels tough and well built! Exactly what I want for longer trips where I'm living out of one bag for weeks at a time.

My first impression of the SEG45 Hybrid Travel Pack was just how well thought out it is. It feels super durable without being bulky, and I love how easy the segmented design makes it to stay organized without digging through one giant compartment. The backpack/duffel conversion is also such a nice touch because it makes the bag feel really versatile. We just took it out on a month long road trip through the PNW and it helped keep me super organized!

I love how organized this bag keeps everything without needing a million packing cubes. It fits a ton, works as a backpack or duffel, and the separate bottom compartment is especially good for shoes and dirty clothes.

Amazing! So much bigger than you think. Very easy to carry onto the plane

Great bag. High quality and cool features.

Love it!

The king of all bags! Dont be a pauper, live like a king and grab this bag for your next trip

Loving this bag for all the compartments. It is comfortable and works well as a carry-on. Currently traveling in Latin America and i use this and the packable travel pack.

So I purchased the SEG45 for a cross country train trip that was going to be a week's worth of travel. This has easily become my favorite travel pack!

The individual segments being labeled by liter ranges were extremely helpful with planning what I could put where. I felt extremely comfortable with walking around with it, especially given it was probably close to 50+ lbs on my back. Very high quality and great to use.

I will say there are some things that I wish were a tad different like the security loops being slightly smaller to make it a tad more difficult for someone to fiddle with the zippers if they were trying to get in. I know it's not supposed to keep anyone OUT of the bag but maybe smaller loops will make it a tad bit more secure. Also, I used both the segments and the 45L duffel section which made the bag huge so just keep this in mind if you're trying to pack for maximum storage. The hooks that help with bringing the segments in some where very helpful but maybe adding like a middle hook to help with the middle segments and some of the sagging that happens with those aren't being used.

Besides that this travel pack is very useful and organized. I'm even considering the SEG28 for flights on longer trips since the 45 isn't TSA compliant but for like a train it was perfect enough to fit under my legs while I was on the train.

I could go on but that's the review having used it for a major haul and my first impression.

Great for adventure

AHH yeah🕺🏿, been wanting some this forever

I have had this bag over a year now. I have used it both for work and a 10-day trip to Europe. It holds way more than my typical overhead carry-on hardshell. I really like the different compartments of the SEG45 as you can easily organize your things - shirts, pants, underwear, outerwear, etc. and you can keep clean away from dirty. Second - the zippers are awesome, truly waterproof, and have handy little holds on both sides to help with zippering/unzipping. Plus it's just easier to move through airports and (cobblestone) streets with your stuff on your back. 100% recommend this bag.

Great weekend bag

Bought the bag in 2022, and the bag has been with me to at least 25 countries, only had this bag for nine months traveling Central America.

It is very durable, has never had a tear, and this bag has been through it. Also never experiences any water coming into the bag. Keeps everything perfectly organized.

People always comment, is that all you are bringing with you, but it fits so much stuff, I have more in that bag than people with big suitcases :)

As I have the previous generation it does not have a strap over the chest and hips, but they have now added that. Will for sure buy again if it ever breaks!

This pack is amazing! I've used Matador products for years and they just keep getting better. I've loved every product I've ever purchased and this one is perfect for what I need.

Amazing bag! It replaced three bags (backpack, large duffle and small duffle) that I had in rotation for years along with my packing cubes! This bag does it all!

Hands down the best carry-on pack/duffle I’ve had. Excellent cost to usability/durability ratio. Have taken a couple week/10 day trips so far with it and I like the fact that it’s soft, smartly compartmented and stuffs easily into an overhead bin. Zippers seem up to the task. It’s comfortable to wear as a pack for walks up to 1-2km. My only gripe (and it doesn’t detract appreciably from the overall excellence of the bag) is the duffle mode shoulder strap: it should be a bit wider and have a non-slip pad and the fabric loop attachments on the bag itself are adequate but should be more robust. Aside from travel, it’s an excellent mixed gear carrier, back up go-bag or beach/picnic bag as well.

Got this for a 6 week international trip with many flights, including some on older planes with narrow entry overhead bins and strictly enforced 7 kg (15.4 lb) carry on weight limit. Wanted the biggest allowable carry on bag that was also squishable enough to fit into the narrow overhead bins, and the lowest weight so as not to eat into the 7 kg max. Plus comfortable enough to carry around airports, on the street, etc. I have the Cotopaxi Allpa 35L but it isn't squishable and has features I don't need that add weight such as a well padded laptop compartment. Also the Cotopaxi wouldn't fit in some small international overhead bins (Madagascar Airlines) with narrow entries and I had to unpack and rearrange in the plane aisle. I got this Matador bag and have been very happy with it. Is surprisingly comfortable to carry as a backpack, is squishable and lightweight. I mostly used it as a one compartment duffel, and only occasionally used the zippered pockets, except for the very top pocket which I used for things I needed to grab quickly. I never got challenged by any airline, even on MASwings, the Malaysian airline with turboprop planes that had narrow entry overhead bins.

The shopping process was easy and the bag is perfect. I used it on a 4 weeks trip at Hawaii.

This is a very versatile and flexible bag, conforming to whatever I need to bring on my trip. It is also built well and I don't have to worry about damaging it. I would recommend this bag to anyone looking for the best duffle

It’s legit quality!

I’ve always been a checked-luggage traveler—until now. The SEG45 Travel Pack has completely transformed the way I travel. From the moment I started using it, I’ve officially retired four of my other travel bags because this one simply outperforms them all.

With thoughtfully placed segmented compartments, this pack has a pocket for everything—exactly where you’d intuitively reach for it. As someone who tends to be a bit disorganized, I was surprised at how I was able to keep my belongings neatly arranged and accessible. I even paired it with a smaller companion pack to commit fully to traveling carry-on only—and honestly, I’ll never look back.

The SEG45 is also impressively comfortable. The ergonomic straps and smart load distribution make it feel lighter than it is, even when fully packed. It’s durable, sleek, and designed with actual travelers in mind—not just for style, but for performance. It’s not just a backpack—it’s a time-saver, a space-optimizer, and a travel partner I’ve come to trust completely.

Great travel bag. Able to hold good amount of clothing for 3 day trip. Enjoy the storage separation option.

The partitions of the Sega45 make it a wonderful pack for emergency preparadness. First Aid, water, food, shelter, clothing and tools all fit very nicely and still keep the pack from weighing more than one should carry in an emergency. No need for superfluous stuff sacks, a speed stash is the exception! Excellent construction and comfortable to carry. Thanks Matador!

I purchased this bag at MEC in may of 2024 for an upcoming trip to Europe. I wasn’t looking for this bag in particular but once I saw it in the store I decided this is it. I love how it keeps everything organized and has the option to just use the entire bag as one compartment. I use it every time I travel now.

This bag is a dream come true!! When I added road cases to my dualsport electric motorcycle, by Zero, I thought how am I going to keep my gear organized, without having a yard sale every time I want to pull out something out… I literally dreamed about having a bag that would easily keep me organized, yet easily stuff into the top case.

The next day I walked into Sports Basement and found the SEG45 backpack 🎒! Such incredible craftsmanship!! Thanks for making this product.
