What customers say
Travelers rave about the Matador FlatPak Toiletry Bottle, especially those focused on minimalist packing. Its innovative design offers significant space and weight savings, collapsing completely as liquids are used. Reviewers consistently praise its reliable leakproof seal, featuring a secure roll-top closure and durable Hypalon material, providing confidence during air travel. While dispensing thicker products can be slightly challenging when nearly empty, this minor point is overshadowed by the bottle's exceptional performance and durability. Despite a higher initial cost, its efficiency and weight reduction make it a valuable investment for travelers prioritizing streamlined gear.
Know before you buy
While the bottles are made from waterproof Cordura fabric and feature a secure flip-top cap, they are not classified as leak-proof. We recommend storing them upright or inside a secondary waterproof pouch to prevent any potential mess in your luggage.
No, these bottles are not food-grade and should not be used for storing food or beverages. They are specifically designed for personal care items like shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and soap.
Because they are not dishwasher safe, you should hand wash them with warm water and mild soap. Ensure they are completely dry before refilling, as the fabric construction requires a bit more time to air dry than traditional hard plastic bottles.
Each bottle includes a convenient snap loop that allows you to attach a label or tag. This makes it easy to identify your contents at a glance without needing to open the cap.
Yes, each bottle holds exactly 3 ounces (90ml), which meets the standard TSA requirements for liquids in carry-on bags.
No, that is one of their primary benefits. The flexible Cordura material allows the bottles to compress as you use the contents, taking up significantly less space in your toiletry bag compared to rigid silicone or plastic containers.
