Matador FlatPak Toiletry Bottle 90 ml
An 11 g bottle that shrinks as you use it, if you trust the seal
A 90 ml (3 oz) TSA-size soft bottle in waterproof 30D Cordura ripstop with welded seams. It weighs 11 g, rolls down as it empties, and has a wide screw-cap fill and a flip cap.
Our take
Rigid bottles take up the same space on day ten as on day one. This one doesn't. It's a 3 oz soft bottle in waterproof Cordura ripstop that rolls down as it empties, so your liquids bag gets smaller as the trip goes on. It weighs 11 g.
That matters if you're one-bag and counting grams. The wide screw cap makes refilling from a hotel dispenser easy, and 3 oz sits under the carry-on limit. The question mark is the seal. Its ratings trail plain plastic and silicone bottles, which suggests it doesn't suit everyone.
If you're ultralight, try it, and keep it in a zip bag until you've tested it. If you just want shampoo that stays off your clothes, a basic rigid bottle is the safer buy.
Who it’s for
Ultralight and one-bag travelers who count grams and want their liquids to take less room as the trip goes on.
Skip it if
Skip it if you want zero leak worries. A rigid plastic or silicone travel bottle is safer and simpler.
Matador FlatPak Toiletry Bottle 90 ml: questions people ask
Is a 3 oz bottle allowed in a carry-on?
Yes. In the US each container can be up to 3.4 oz (100 ml), and they all have to fit in one quart-size bag.
How do I stop toiletry bottles leaking on a plane?
Don't fill to the top, squeeze out the extra air before you close it, and pack everything in a sealed zip bag. Pressure changes in flight can push liquid out of loose caps.
Are soft fabric bottles easy to clean?
The wide opening makes rinsing easy. Thick stuff like conditioner can take a few rinses to clear out.
