LOVE this bag!

I love these bags so much I have three of them. 😆 They’re the perfect size and hold much more than you’d think - most likely due to that smart pocket for your phone that’s on the outside of the bag (and holds my iPhone 14 Pro Max in a case easily). Great to pack for travel for a daily carry purse and they take up no room in a suitcase. I use mine as a crossbody - it wears comfortably and sits in just the right spot. Fabric is sturdy but lightweight and looks great for many occasions - I’ve worn it walking my dog, on a day hike, and carried it out to dinner for casual nights out. Overall I’d give it 10/10 (if I could!) without hesitation.

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!

Love it!

Love this! It’s my new favorite travel purse. Holds a fair amount with several pockets, and I love the slit on the back for my phone. I agree with other reviewers that the main zipper is a bit sticky, but the strap length was great for me. Highly recommend!

The straps are shorter than the previous design. My long torso cannot with these short straps! Will return!

Hello there, thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the updated strap length didn’t work for your frame. The Mantis 2 was redesigned with a more streamlined profile, but we understand that shorter straps can be limiting, especially for those with longer torsos. Your input is incredibly valuable and helps us consider a wider range of body types in future designs. We appreciate you giving it a try, and hope you’ll find a better fit in our lineup.

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.

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.
