Great Bag - you won’t be disapointed!
Recently bought this colour for my wife & at the same time purchase alternative colour for myself. Great bag that holds a good amount of items and has a good selection of zip storage areas including an inner zip storage area with a key leash. The idea of adding a mobile phone storage area on the rear padded section is excellent & is really useful to keep your phone safely stored but close to hand. My wife also thought the bag was great, stored everything she needed it to and was very comfortable to use and wear. This bag has great padding on the side close to your body with a material that allows some breathability. The bag is also sold at a great price point and offers excellent value for money. Colour options are also very good. If you buy this bag for everyday compact, light carry you won’t be disappointed!
Simply awesome!
I just love it! ❤️ It is just a perfect on the go bag!
Meh - Shorter Strap
I love the classic simplicity and easy function of this bag. The only thing that I do not like is the shorter strap. The REI Technical Specs for this item shows the strap length as 15" expanding to 50". I purchased two Mantis 1 and one Mantis 2. All three strap lengths were much shorter than the 50" indicated. My first Mantis 1 was 46" (actually perfect for me), the second Mantis 1 was 43" (returned/too short) and the Mantis 2 was 43" (kept b/c I love this size compartment). I saw a few comments made by Arc'teryx to their customers at the Arc'teryx website informing the customers that the strap length is in fact 110cm = 43". I contacted REI with this information but apparently they have not verified with Arc'teryx and have not, as of yet, corrected the tech specs for these bags. My guess is they shortened their strap to be in the trend for people who like to wear waist packs crossbody higher up.
Horrible Strap
I’ll never understand why arc’teryx never mentions the length of their straps. Maybe because they are ridiculously short ? But this years straps are about 2-3inches shorter than last years Mantis 2 bags. If you’re a smaller sized human it works well depending on where you like the bag to sit but if you’re slightly above average or prefer the bag to sit lower in the body the strap is too short and the bag chokes your neck and sits under your armpit. Great price , horrible strap.
Hello there, we are sorry to hear that the straps on the Mantis 2 Waist Pack are too short for you. Our design team is continuously assessing our products to improve it based on our guest experience. We will make sure to pass your comments along to them, and we appreciate the time you took to leave a review.
Good little bag. simple
Im just putting this here to filter with the 2 star review that SteelersFan left to say that there's no way that the strap is too short for a person that is actually using this bag to hike with or be even remotely active. Never met a steelers fan that was in healthy shape.
Lots of space for everything you need to bring
This is probably the product I use most often and every day. I am happy that I can fit everything in this bag that I always want to bring with me. I love the separate phone pocket. The bag has enough room so I can sort all my stuff. It also fits a 0.5 liter bottle. I never want to miss this bag anymore and got lots of compliments. My friends and family also bought the bag after I demonstrated the features and it became the one we use the most. It's also a great gift.
Good but can be much better
Please add a attachment point on the bottom of the bag so it becomes usable in higher output activities and biking. With the narrow strap it just flies around too much. An attachment loop on the botttom would allow you to add a stabilizer strap which is something I would expect from a performance oriented brand - even though this item is not specifically performance output designed. Same goes for the mantis 1. Bonus points if the strap is made to be removable!
Hi there. Thanks for sharing your feedback on the Mantis 2 Waist Pack. We appreciate your comments and we can see how adding an attachment loop could be beneficial. We will pass it to our team.
My Trusty Companion Wherever I Go
Mantis 2 Waist Pack is always by my side, no matter where I venture. Whether I wear it as a crossbody bag or as a waist pack, it is comfortable and effortlessly complements my style. Its perfect size is ideal for carrying everything I need throughout the day. In this compact and stylish pack, I can fit a 2000mAh portable charger, a packable windbreaker jacket, and a small book of poetry. There’s even room for small essentials like my phone and keys.
I use these every day, favourite bag ever
I have several of these bags in different colours and use them instead of handbags - my black one is for more formal occasions. They're my favourite bag ever, so comfortable and easy to use, keeps things safe from pickpockets unlike backpacks. I love the key leash and the little band that holds the end of the strap from flapping, and really really love the phone pocket. I'd be interested in a bigger size e.g. 3.5 litres for days out with the kids.
Some great features, minus the divider sleeve
I bought my 3rd Mantis this year. Some updates are good, like the upgraded fabric and convenient, adequately-sized cellphone pocket. What I was not a fan of was the sleeve in the central compartment. So annoying it was to my packing of the bag and retrieving contents, that I eventually cut it out. The bag became useful from that point on. I bought this Mantis 2 in the color Velocity (and an Arctic Snow 2 for my daughter, which she uses often).
