Matador SEG28

Pros

• Seg28 is my fav bag. It packs WAY more than 28 liters. I have no idea where that number came from haha
• I have the Seg28 as well and it is surprisingly large for what’s suppose to be a 28L bag. In reality I would say it’s about 35L if not a little more.
• I was able to fit everything that I fit on my Seg28 except for a towel (that I put on the large outside pocket). So, I don't understand by my Seg28 can fit more!
• That’s my “evergreen” bag. Meaning when not testing, it’s what I take. Love that bag.
• It fit within the personal item size requirements, and indeed fit fine under the seat. ... I was thankful mine fit under the seat as a personal item.

Cons

• I took my seg28 to a 3 week trip to Eastern Europe. I was not comfortable long term when it was hot. I carried 23 lb total including a Bellroy Lite sling bag that I kept inside the bag.
• I have the SEG28 and spent 3 weeks in Eastern Europe with it. I didn't think it was that very comfortable -- but just bearable.
• It holds a surprising amount of stuff while remaining organized. I previously used packing cubes, but I like this better ... There is one thing I would change about the Seg28. It only has a stretchy side pocket on one side ... I'm also k...
• Matador SEG28 is probably too small.
