What customers say
The Matador FlatPak Toiletry Case (Small) receives overwhelmingly positive sentiment, particularly from the community of ultralight travelers and minimalist packers. Reviewers consistently laud the product for its revolutionary lightweight design and exceptional compressibility, noting that it virtually eliminates bulk compared to traditional dopp kits. The core appeal lies in its ability to save crucial space and weight, making it a game-changer for carry-on-only trips. The proprietary welded construction and roll-top closure are frequently praised for delivering on the promise of leakproof security, providing essential peace of mind when packing liquids alongside sensitive gear or clothing. Users often describe the material as surprisingly durable and effective, justifying its specialized nature. However, the primary points of friction relate to its size and cost. While the 'small' designation is accurate, some users find it slightly restrictive for extended trips, requiring careful curation of toiletries. Furthermore, while the quality is deemed excellent, the premium price point leads a small segment of consumers to question the overall value proposition compared to standard pouches, though the majority agree that the specialized features—namely the weight savings and leak protection—fully justify the investment. Overall, the sentiment confirms that this case is a highly effective, specialized tool that excels precisely at its intended purpose: maximizing space efficiency without sacrificing durability or security.
Know before you buy
The material is designed to be waterproof from the outside to prevent leaks, but it is breathable enough to allow moisture from damp items to evaporate through the fabric. This helps your toothbrush or razor dry out while stored inside.
The case has a 2-liter capacity and measures 9.5 x 3.75 x 5.5 inches. While it is perfect for travel-sized containers, it is likely too small for standard full-sized shampoo or lotion bottles.
Yes, the Ripstop Nylon is highly pliable. Because it lacks a rigid frame, the bag naturally flattens as you pack it, allowing it to slide into narrow gaps between your clothes.
The interior is designed for easy maintenance. You can simply wipe it down with a damp cloth or rinse it out with mild soap and water, then let it air dry.
The Hypalon® rolltop closure is designed to be water-resistant and secure for travel, but it is not intended to be submerged underwater. It effectively contains spills and keeps your other gear dry.
