UNCOMPROMISING DURABILITY

COMFORT FOR THE LONG HAUL

The Beast18 is designed to move with you, offering all-day comfort and flexibility with movement. The flexible frame suspension system distributes your pack evenly from shoulders to hips, while the waist and sternum strap offer a customized fit to your body and support for heavy loads.

PACKS DOWN FOR TRAVEL

The Beast18 quickly and easily packs down small for efficient travel. Simply twist and fold the pack in half and secure inside the included compression sack. Unpack the bag and the spring steel frame will restore the shape of the pack instantly.

FLEXIBLE FRAME SUSPENSION

The Beast18 features an innovative spring steel frame, which allows for both structure and packability. The flexible frame suspension provides comfort and torsion with movement, for an agile fit that moves with you and distributes loads evenly. When not in use, simply twist and fold the frame, and secure into the compression sack. The spring steel frame bounces back into its original shape when released.

ORGANIZATION ON THE TRAIL

The main compartment features an asymmetrical clamshell zipper, making it easy to access the larger items at the bottom of your pack. An oversized front compartment extends to the bottom of the pack, while a zippered pocket inside protects your smaller items. Safely store valuable items in the small interior pocket with keyloop.

HYDRATION COMPATIBLE

An internal hydration sleeve accommodates most 1-3 liter reservoirs, with hose routing features on both shoulder straps for a customized fit.

STOW FOR TRANIST

Easily twist, fold, and store the pack in the included compression sack for travel. Ultralight at just 1lb, 5oz, the Beast18 makes it easy to take a fully capable alpine pack with you wherever you go.

Matador was born in a 10x10 foot San Francisco bedroom in 2014 when we stumbled on a trend; people sitting outside on their coats or lugging bulky blankets across town to the parks and beaches. We thought there has to be a better solution, and that’s when the Matador Pocket Blanket was born. What started as a pocket-sized blanket that unfolds to seat 4 became a passion for designing and developing packable adventure gear. It’s a totally new category that Matador introduces to the world. The Matador’s mission is to make your travels and adventures more convenient through high quality packable gear.
