It’s since then my preferred bag so far and the first option I choose every time. The volume is neither too big neither to small. Thin but enough long to put two objects in there like headset, clothes etc. No issue with solidity. Very light even fully filled. Very practical. Discrete because of the color. Black Color didn’t fade till then. The pouch for water bag is also a plus. Every attach feels strong. I recommend. Even it is sometimes complicated to find one with a competitive price sometimes.

Easy to pack into the mesh bag. ## Features - Flexible & Durable: This hiking bag has built-in steel frame that allows for rigidity and flexibility, and helps distribute weight.

Easy to pack into the mesh bag. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***. on 16 June 2021* I have been looking for the perfect travel daypack: a small backpack with the fit and function of a hiking bag (slim profile, lightweight but durable materials) that can also blend in a city. This is the closest I've found. It's designed for the trail and excels in that function. (The first time I took it out, I got poured on the whole way down from the summit and all my gear stayed dry. And above all the harness is COMFORTABLE.) For my needs, the all black aesthetic, removable hipbelt and trekking pole bungies, and BIG water bottle pockets (hallelujah!) mean I can carry it on city days and not feel out of place. My 2 cons: I can't in good conscience take away stars for features I wish they'd added, but 1) it's a little lacking in organization, and 2) I really wish there was an external pocket similar to the old Beast line. There are 2 small internal pockets, one which is really necessary to keep smaller items from falling to the bottom of the deep front pocket, and the other is intended to hide keys. A few zippered mesh pockets or some type of admin panel in the main pocket would have gone a long way. An external mesh pocket is my new favorite feature I want on all packs. It allows for overflow space if I want to take off a jacket or let a wet layer dry, or just quick access for something like a parking ticket or a trail map (things the daisy chains can't hold). Just suggestions to improve an already stellar pack! ## Frequently Bought Together - MATADOR Beast 18 Ultralight Technical Backpack - Osprey Liquids Pouch Unisex Accessories - Travel Black O/S - Sea to Summit - Ultra-Sil Dry Bag Set (3L, 5L, 8L) - Waterproof Storage & Organization - Roll-Top Closure & Patented Field Repair Buckle - Ultra-Sil 30D Nylon Fabric - For Backpacking & Travel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/318024001-beast-18-ultralight-technical-backpack](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/318024001-beast-18-ultralight-technical-backpack) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
