Matador Beast 28 Technical Backpack and Laptop Base Layer Review

Review of the Matador Beast 28 Technical Backpack and Laptop Base Layer which are lightweight and highly weather resistant travel accessories that offer a great build quality and solid functionality. Combining these with a travel bag like the SEG42 are a great way to create a modular travel system.

Pros:

• Straps and back panel on the Beast 28 are very comfortable especially for a packable bag
• Beast 28 offers an impressive amount of space without looking too big
• Excellent weather-resistance on both items
• Lightweight and durable materials on both items

Cons:

• Beast 28 is a little bulkier than other packable bags 
• Front pocket on the beast 28 could use a little more organization since it is so tall
• Padding on the laptop base layer is a little thinner than similar laptop sleeves
