SEE YOU OUT THERE
For the ones who pack smart, move fast, and expect their gear to keep up.
Why was this bag originally made in 24 hours?
The Redeye 24 started as part of Carryology’s Maker’s Mystery Box Challenge — a video series where designers are given a mystery box of components and just one day to design and build a functional backpack. Matador’s lead designer, Sam, took the challenge, pulling a 24-hour all-nighter (with just 3 hours of sleep) to bring the Redeye to life. The result was too good to leave as a one-off prototype, so we refined it for production.
What makes the Redeye 24 different from other Matador bags?
The Redeye 24 is a limited collaboration between Matador × Carryology, merging experimental design with real-world performance. Every feature — from its modular carry system to its intuitive pocketing — was refined from Sam’s original 24-hour build. It’s everyday carry, elevated by a one-of-a-kind origin story.
What is FIDLOCK® hardware?
FIDLOCK® creates premium magnetic fasteners known for their smooth, secure, and intuitive feel. The Redeye 24 uses FIDLOCK® hardware on its detachable shoulder straps and sternum strap, allowing you to swap carry modes or connect straps with a simple magnetic snap.
What makes the clamshell design unique?
Most clamshell bags open fully and spill everything out. The Redeye 24’s design uses limiter panels to create a controlled opening — giving you wide access to your gear while keeping contents contained. Inside, a divided main compartment makes organization easy without extra packing cubes.
How does the carry system work?
The Redeye 24 features a modular design that lets you switch between three carry modes — backpack, sling, or duffel. Detachable shoulder straps connect with FIDLOCK® Snap hardware for fast, secure transitions, and each mode carries comfortably for all-day use.
What size laptop fits in the magnetic laptop sleeve?
The padded magnetic laptop sleeve fits most 16-inch laptops and tablets. (Exact fit may vary by manufacturer and model.)
When will my Redeye 24 ship?
We’re currently targeting a June 2026 delivery date. There’s a chance bags could arrive earlier — we’ll keep you updated along the way using the email you provided at checkout.
