SEG45 Travel Pack

More than what I expected...

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.

Always the best.

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.

Hands down the best carry-on pack/duffle I’ve had…

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.
