Few groups deeply understand the ultra-light travel space like bag and accessory maker Matador and the travel equipment evaluators at Carryology. So when the two partner together to collaborate, you can expect the result to move the industry forward.
Both brands revealed their latest collaborative effort this week, the so-called EDX Lite Backpack. The “Lite” in the name nods to the fact that this version is 13.4% lighter and 15% more packable than the original EDX Backpack collaboration launched last June.
Like its predecessor, the EDX Lite is intended to be a functional-yet-still-extremely-packable 22-liter backpack with a clear use case. Stash it away in your main bag while journeying to your destination. Then pull it out and use it as a daypack once you’ve arrived.
Though simple in its premise, the details both teams scrutinized to produce the final product epitomize what makes them both leaders in the travel space.
