Travel accessories & essentials
Matador’s range includes travel organisers, toiletry solutions, compact blankets, and carry systems designed to reduce bulk and increase comfort — ideal for travellers, commuters, and people building a lightweight kit.
Pocket-Size Performance
Matador's entire range is built around a single obsession: making gear that disappears when you don't need it and performs when you do. The SEG45 Travel Pack organises a week of travel into a single-zip access system. The FlatPak bottle is 5x lighter than silicone — same volume, a fraction of the bulk.
Waterproof by Default
IPX7-rated dry bags, DWR-treated Bluesign® nylon, welded seams, and YKK sealing zippers throughout. Matador builds waterproof protection into the design — not as an afterthought.

Travel Packs — SEG Series
Organisation Without the Digging
The Matador SEG series is built around a segmented packing system that works like built-in packing cubes — everything has a section, and it's all accessible from a single external zip. The SEG45 Travel Pack is the flagship: 45L capacity, 420D Bluesign® PFAS-free nylon, YKK sealing zippers, water-resistant construction, and a removable shoulder strap that converts it from backpack to duffel. The SEG28 provides the same organisation in a smaller carry-on-friendly format. Both are backed by a 3-year warranty with free repair or replacement.
- SEG45 Travel Pack — 45L, segmented design, single-zip external access to all compartments
- SEG28 Travel Pack — 28L carry-on-friendly format with same segmented organisation
- 420D Bluesign® nylon — PFAS-free, DWR-treated, water-resistant construction
- YKK sealing zippers for weather resistance and secure closure
- Removable shoulder strap — converts between backpack and duffel carry

Packable Bags — ReFraction, Beast & Freerain
Bags That Disappear Until You Need Them
Matador's packable range is engineered to fold completely flat or into their own internal pouch — invisible in your luggage until you need extra carry capacity. The ReFraction Packable Backpack (16L) folds into its own pouch and weighs almost nothing. The Beast18 and Beast28 Ultralight Technical Backpacks are serious trail packs built from Robic nylon with UHMWPE reinforcement for abrasion resistance. The Freerain Waterproof Packable Backpack (22L) is IPX7-rated for wet environments.
- ReFraction Packable Backpack — 16L, packs into own pouch, carry-on overflow or UAE day trip companion
- Beast18 Ultralight Technical Backpack — 18L, Robic nylon, DWR-treated, serious trail performance
- Beast28 Ultralight Technical Backpack — 28L, UHMWPE reinforced, contoured suspension system
- Freerain Waterproof Packable Backpack — 22L, IPX7-rated, for water-adjacent activities
- Freefly Packable Duffle — waterproof packable duffle for luggage overflow and water sports
FlatPak Toiletries
The Smartest Toiletry System in Travel
The Matador FlatPak range solves the oldest travel problem — toiletry bottles that waste space when they're partially full and are too heavy when they're full. FlatPak bottles collapse as you use them, occupying only as much space as their contents. 5x lighter than traditional silicone travel bottles, 3.5x more compact, TSA-approved (90ml volume), and made from waterproof Cordura® fabric with a proprietary coating. The FlatPak Soap Bar Case, Waterproof Toiletry Case, and NanoDry Towel complete the system.
- FlatPak Toiletry Bottles — 90ml, TSA-approved, 5x lighter than silicone equivalents, collapses as you use
- Available in 1-pack (Charcoal) or 3-pack (Charcoal, Garnet, Arctic) for multi-product carry
- FlatPak Soap Bar Case — waterproof, hard-sided case for bar soap, shampoo bars, and travel bars
- FlatPak Waterproof Toiletry Case — ultralight, IPX7-rated zip case for full toiletry organisation
- NanoDry Shower Towel — full-sized absorbency, quick-dry, antimicrobial, packs to water-bottle size
- NanoDry Small Towel — hand/face size, same antimicrobial fabric, packs to palm size
ATravel Accessories & Organisation
The Details That Make Travel Easier
Beyond bags and bottles, Matador's accessories range covers the organisational and in-flight essentials that make travel genuinely smoother. Gear Cube Sets (3-pack) work like external packing cubes to segment any bag. The Pocket Blanket is puncture-resistant, water-repellent, and folds to the size of a fist. The Blackout Sleep Mask with Earplugs is the carry-on essential for long-haul flights out of Dubai. Re-Ties reusable rubber zip ties keep cables, gear, and packing tidy.

What Our Clients Say
Real feedback from businesses across the UAE and GCC who trust our quality and service.
Great products, great prices, amazing service
Fantastic company that really go above and beyond for their customers
This team is much more than a supplier — they’re a pillar of the local BBQ community. From the early days of sourcing quality charcoal and wood to supporting and sponsoring events that helped launch homegrown concepts, these guys have always shown up. AC SmokeYard may be a personal passion, but the support, encouragement, and fair pricing from the Elite Horizon team never goes unnoticed. Top‑quality equipment, great supplies, and genuine community support. A million thanks to the team — truly appreciated.
Excellent service and honest advice from the team at Elite. Asked me the right questions before recommending the best griller for me (i would have picked something very different). 100% happy with the outcome and recommend to all my friends and family.
If you are looking for the finest product with exceptional customer service and a good old British sense of honesty, this company will deliver it all the time. I am so thankful to have ordered the BBQ and BBQ cover from here along with logs for the camping bonfire - it has reinstated my faith in a business to deliver an honest service with incomparably good value products. The range of products were huge, the staff were very knowledgeable and advised on the best value proposition for the item I was looking, refreshing to see no upselling or push, prompt delivery, installation and advice and post-purchase support when ever I needed one. If you are looking to buy any camping and outdoor items, I highly recommend this business. One of the best experiences I have had as a customer in the UAE. Way to go Aadil and the team!
One of the best companies around, from the front line to the owner, they are a pleasure to have provide their services! And the quality of work is exceptional! Thank you so much
Excellent service, interaction and product. I called the number and the guy I spoke to (a British) was friendly and helpful. He explained the process and we fine tuned what I wanted on WhatsApp which I found a really convenient way. Great range of items - really well curated. I dislike it when I've got too much choice but this felt about the right amount of choice. My son had just arrived in town and we planned an impromptu BBQ for that evening. I honestly thought that it wouldn't be possible to get sorted in time but this company absolutely delivered same day and enabled a wonderful reunion evening for our family. When my goods were delivered (charcoal + 3 bags of fire wood) they took them all round to the back of our property and neatly stacked them for me which was a nice touch instead of just dumping them at my front door. Quality product - the charcoal is perhaps a bit bigger pieces than I'm used to but actually made set up a bit easier so all good. Thanks again, well done team! Will use again and tell my friends.
Excellent range of products and support. I ordered the Bad Axe pizza oven and it was delivered the same day. Communication and guidance during the ordering process was spot on. First test of the oven was a Pizza Party for 16 of my mates. Less than 90 seconds to cook a pizza at full heat meant we all had a great time and the pizzas were amazing. The hardwood is excellent value as well.
Live this place. Not only is it a shop filled with some of the best and coolest outdoor equipment. But the guys are legends too. They support the outdoor community, they sponsor off-roading and fishing events. And they really do their part to encourage an outdoor lifestyle and live what their brands encourage. If you’re a person who likes to support those who support you. This is where you should be buying anything outdoor/BBQ related. I’ll always be a fan. Keep up the good work, legends
I ordered a pizza oven from these guys at an extremely competitive price. Also got it delivered same day! Top quality and have already recommended to all our friends! Amazing service.
Amazing service. Great product range. Knowledgeable staff who guide you accordingly to your requirements, not trying to upsell!! Assembly/installation all done with no fuss. You’ve gained a loyal customer.
I've been using the services of Aadil and the team for years now, always top notch. This month he went above and beyond, a garden party was planned and it was still way too hot. Aadil jumped to the rescue and arranged 2 of his fantastic Pure Cool outdoor air conditioners. They were brilliant and made a huge difference, highly recommended!! Will be calling in soon for my winter firewood Aadil. Thanks again!
