Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • My favorite is Matador, "O Matador de matadores" was surprisingly good, acting I would expect from Hollywood, pristine scenography, perfect special effects; it's just something you don't expect to happen in Latin America
  • but they do carry everything from Matador which is very hard to find outside of Japan in Asia.
  • Matador is fantastic for packable backpacks and slings.
  • Matador is a great company.
  • I own a number of Matador products and I'm happy with them all. ... Their customer service team is responsive. Because of that single warranty claim experience, I will always look to them for gear.

Cons

  • Aer and Matador were the biggest offenders (I kept a frequency chart as I went through the backlog), sending like 10+ messages over a few days
  • I personally would look into Matador as well
  • Matador doesn’t include non dimensional pockets or external waterbottle/shove-it pockets in the dims.
  • Matador makes a super packable one, but it doesn’t have a ton of organizing pockets / compartments
  • ULA/Matador are also primarily outdoor brands that dip into travel like Osprey does.

Boulder CO based company and everything I’ve purchased seems of quality so far but’s it’s not been thoroughly tested over time yet.
