Matador Travel Equipment partnered with Carryology and introduced the Matador x Carryology EDX Series Trident Collection, a three-piece travel and everyday carry series “to redefine the concept of one bag travel.”
“Both brands have been excited about the opportunity to work together closely for years now, but neither Matador nor Carryology wanted to do a collaboration project for the sake of doing it,” said Chris Clearman, CEO of Matador. “We agreed to wait to do something awesome when it made sense. And this project was it!”
After 16-plus months of development, the companies created the “1.5 Bag Travel,” which acknowledges that travelers don’t often want to pack a large travel bag for carrying everyday essentials when a smaller bag is more practical.
The EDX Series includes a lightweight sling, small messenger bag and backpack that are each packable and weatherproof. A VX07 water-resist fabric from Dimension Polyant was used to make the collection and includes a weatherproofing method developed by Matador and Carryology called HydraGuard seam binding technology.
The bags incorporate functional organization, magnetic closures, hardware from YKK, and a Mag-Hook for flap closure.
