As part of the Matador Twitter contest, we will be spotlighting cool gear we’ll be giving away to lucky readers.
This bag may seem small in appearance, but true to its name, the Sumo will swallow whatever you toss inside!
The shoulder straps on this backpack are also used as bag compression and tote carrying handles.
Keep your watch, phone, rings, and other small items easy to find by storing them in the internal mesh pocket near the top of the bag.
Caught in a monsoon? Your gear will stay safe and dry, protected by welded seams and waterproof fabric.
The Sumo Backpack is available in apple red, black, orange, and raft blue.
AND THE WINNER IS…
@JeffMarkman – “My wife and I would use this to protect all manner of valuables from the weather while hiking, camping, and world traveling.”
We’ll be contacting him directly to send him the Sumo Backpack Satchel.

I live in Seattle, where it’s hot as blazes now (and severely dry), but the rain will return…someday.
And I need a good waterproof bag. I’ll probably carry that instead of my purse, because I almost always have a camera with me in addition to my wallet, keys, cellphone and assorted odds & ends. Oh, and an umbrella!

I think this looks cool for everyday use. Especially in CO where is seems to rain (and thunder, and lightning) every afternoon all Summer long.↵ -
@leyatem
I’d use it to keep my yukata and zōri dry when I’m not in the ring or in public.…and maybe I’d throw my moleskine, current book, Shima to Shima: Souther Islands of Japan matador guide, and other valuables in there while I’m at it.

I kayak from my little island into town to work every day so this would be PERFECT way to carry my office clothes and other “town stuff” without lugging around a utilitarian but ugly (or is that BUTT ugly) drybag.

Looks just perfect for my inpending weekend in Berlin!

It’s great not just for traveling but also for daily, regular use especially with unpredictable weather like ours! @saberkite

I would definitely use it as a day pack on my travels, especially in places where it is more likely to rain.

I just think it’s really cool and being a woman, I can never have a big enough bag to carry everything needed for a day out shopping!

I’d love it for when I go hiking and rafting. Waterproof is always a good thing!

I live in NJ and this summer has seen a lot of rain. It would be great for major hiking trips and I could also use this satchel to keep things dry while just walking in the rain.

@bettycd sorry,

@emilyh13
I don’t drive, so I end up walking everywhere as we live quite a way out of town, so this would be great for carrying all my stuff about without having to worry about it when it rains

@Hestia14
My current bag is falling apart so I deperately need a new one and this one is better than my old one

@doniree – I’m hoping to get to Canada and Europe in the next year and will need to travel very lightly for both trips. This would be perfect!
↵ -
I would have all manner of stuff in it, camera, binoculars, waterproofs in case a miracle occurred and it wasnt raining!!! Drinks, keys mobile, a few sweet wrappers.
↵ -
@silver_tulip – I’d use the satchel to explore downeast Maine, where I go to graduate school. I’m going to take a long weekend later this summer to hike Cadillac Mountain in the heart of Acadia National Park!
↵ -
@ali991 – this would be fab to carry all the stuff I ever need

@lorweld
I would use it to bring my gear for GAA training

@tattsjane Given utter gong show that the summer weather patterns have been in Toronto (record setting rainfall and thunderstorms almost daily esp this week), I’d probably end up using not just for travel, but to get across town every day. It would keep everything dry and safe, work with my bike (as backpack and in basket), would keep my belongings dry when I play or attend soccer games in the rain, and generally make my life way easier.
Oh – and I could probably take it to the beach or up kilimanjaro as the mood strikes me.
