Good feature for price

Good purchase and can put a lot of things, also its easy to adjust whether what style you choose. The material pf the bag is very good and durable.

Really like the bag--wish the strap was wider.

This is a really useful little bag. You can easily fit a large phone, sunglasses, a small wallet and a small water bottle inside. The length of the strap is perfect for my short torso, but it might be a bit short on a tall person. I'm 160 cm tall. I deducted one star for the thin strap--it could easily be a thicker or wider strap, and it would feel more secure. Otherwise, I really like the bag!

Disappointed

Over-priced product without specific feature like security technology for anti-theft. And, the strap is too thin and short, my neck gets a bit hurt because of the strap. Buckles shall get improved to balance well. Hope

Hello there, thank you for sharing your experience with the Heliad Crossbody Bag. We appreciate you taking the time to outline what didn’t work for you, especially regarding the lack of anti‑theft features and how the thinner, shorter strap felt during wear. Comfort and security are both important in a bag you use regularly, and your notes about the strap and buckle design offer really helpful insight into how the carry experience could be improved. We’ll be sharing your feedback with our design team, as comments like yours play a key role in guiding future refinements.

Would buy again

Great product, love the size and pockets, I thought the strap was too thin for me, so I just used another strap for a bag I had and worked perfectly.

Bad Quality

Looks good on picture. Upon receipt, it looks cheap. Strap was slim. Zipper is poor quality. Overpriced for the quality. Return for refund.

Good size bag

Generous storage just wish the strap was a bit longer for cross chest/ body wear. Strap feel shorter compared to Mantis 2

Cheap and overpriced

Very disappointed. Thin material, narrow uncomfortable shoulder strap. This is not the Arcteryx quality I expected

Not for me

It is okay, really big and the material is ok. I took this back and got the Mantis 2 which I love!
