Arc'teryx  Heliad Crossbody Bag

Perfect bag I’ve ever had. My wife bought this bag for my birthday gift, which is a big surprise for me. Just love it. Well design and excellent materials.

I love cross body bags, it’s perfect size compartment straps easy to adjust, can be used in every occasion hiking shopping to work. Love it I picked green straps

The front zip pocket doesn’t fit a phone. Deal breaker. Volume is too small, has an awkward piece of interior foam making up the structure of the bag. I loved the color but ultimately returned it. Thought it would be a good city/travel bag but needs a redesign. Has one interior “pocket” which is actually just the flap holding the foam in. You can remove the foam but it just falls short of my needs. The Mantis 2 is much better designed. The Heliad doesn’t even seem to be waterproof? I have an UL waterproof from a small brand that absolutely knocks it out of the park in comparison to this design so had to return this one. Bummer but not worth it for the lack of functional considerations.

Great size, material, and design. Love this bag, but my dog chewed up the buckle. Wish the buckle was more substantial, maybe made out of aluminum. Especially since it is such a small buckle.

Good for what is, but there are better bag's/bag systems at the same price point. for instance the lack of other accessories and option to ad ontop of the bag is limited. i have a multifuntional crossbody bag from another company that is made up of ARM 550 paracord detachable strap that can also be attached to jackets as a 3 point harness. Cordura,Dyneema & Teflon make up the outter shell with fidlock magnetic attachable straps and webbing that allows it to be truly multifuntional. i just wish my Arc bag gave me this options. i will not promote the brand the other bag is but just know there are superior options that Arctyrex needs to concider when making products, they are at least 5 years ahead of the outdoors game

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.

I bought my bag in Japan a month ago and it was perfect. Light weight and just enough room to hold small things while traveling. Unfortunately the strap keeps digging and cutting into my neck. I am 6,2 with broad shoulders so maybe thats why it keeps rising up. I even got it as loose as possible to give it more slack but it still digs into my neck. So if you are a taller/bigger person I suggest getting a bag with thicker straps. I really like this bag just gonna wear/use it with a hoodie

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!

The quality of the bag is good, but the flimsy strap and plastic zipper tabs leave me less desired. Only good part of the flimsy strap is that it’s removable which allows you to put a strap of your “own” choice. This would defeat the purpose of the purchase.

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
