Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Mantis 2 Waistpack

At first I wasn't sure about the color Sunlust but I have grown to absolutely love it! It looks like gorgeous at sunset time with the pink and orange. I like how the orange zippers are a bit bright making the pack stand out in the dark. I have used it for hiking, music festivals, general day to day activities, plane travel, etc... There's a hidden phone pocket in the back that makes it easy to slip a phone in and out quickly! Great for a iphone photographer enthusiast like me. I like how the two zippers go in opposite directions making it easy to know which compartment you are opening without having to look. The little keychain holder in the front pocket has been really useful. This pack also holds a small water bottle and bigger bottles can be squeezed in there too. I am super impressed by this item and has been my go-to fanny pack over the 3 others I own from various brands. It holds a lot more than I expected it to. I would definitely repurchase this and get it as gifts!

Love the extra features including key chain clip and inside zip pocket. I wear it as a cross body bag. It's very durable. It's my go to travel bag.

I use this bag everyday, it's perfect size for phone wallet and all everyday essentials. Plus I always get compliments!

Bought this two months ago to go travelling with: so far it's been to 4 countries with hiking, rough weather, nights out, airport checks just EVERYTHING and is in perfect condition still. Loads of great space, can store so much in there- it's really thoughtful. The phone pocket, the clip for keys/wallet, the strap length. Plus it looks stylish and goes with anything. Also ran it through the washing machine and dryer and it came out fine. Fabulous quality and a great price from a great company.

This little bag is mighty. Mantis2 can fit my wallet, car keys, sunglasses, water bottle, and some medicine/toiletries. Perfect for everyday running errands, or while traveling. With covid/crime, I am hesitant to carry luxury leather goods (stolen/hand sanitizers), this bag has been my go to bag for the past 3+ years.

I waited forever until this came back in stock, when it did I nabbed one. Absolutely the most versatile little bag. I used it for travelling, hiking and everyday use. It's easy to switch from waistbag to cross body. Everyone asks me where I got it. I have the 1 L size also and use them both extensively.

I bought one about 4 years ago and it lasted until last week, when the zipper finally gave up. Luckily, I had another to replace it. I recommend this handy and sturdy little bag for everything from hiking to everyday use as a purse.

I love this bag. It goes with me everywhere. It Holds all my essentials and handles the weather very well.

Taken on several trips since receiving a few months back & is typical Arc'teryx tough & useful! 3 pockets total, cell phone pocket, large pocket & medium front zipper pocket--enough for everything needed on trail or around town.

Comfortable and great storage space for the size for daily trips. Loved it so much bought one for the whole family!

I've been using the bag for the past 3 months daily and I can happily attest the functionality and durability of the bag. I ended up buying 2 more in different colors. The bag is spacious and can hold a good amount. The back slip pocket fits my iPhone perfectly.

I bought this for bike riding and walking by dog to carry my phone and ID. It keeps my hands free

Sturdily material and just the right size for essentials.

I bought this bag to use as my everyday purse. I already own the Mantis !, but I needed a larger bag as well. The Mantis 2 waistpack is perfect. Large enough to hold my larger wallet. Same easy access to phone as the Mantis 1. I am so glad I have both.

I bought this as a bag/purse to be used daily and for extended walks/hiking. It has been with me through Europe and walking a Camino in Spain. After three years, and daily use the zipper is beginning to fray at the zipper (because it is full), so I am going to buy another. Love this bag!!

I was going to use this just for dog walks but find it's big enough for my every day grab and go bag. Can fit my kindle, wallet, Kleenex, hand sanitizer, keys, Chapstick and even a folded reusable bag. Perfect for city on the go

I bought this bag a few weeks ago and it is a great size to fit my phone , wallet and a few other item for hiking. I'm sure I will get a lot of use out of this bag. Especially when we are allowed to travel again!!

I own a few of these and I use them for so many things! I like to have one for evening mtb rides- no problem fitting a shell, phone and tools in it. It is also the best thing for to keep your hands free on short hikes and nature walks - with plenty of room to pack snacks and items you need. For travel I have used it to keep essentials like my passport and wallet handy... As a new mom it was my mini diaper bag- I did so much hiking with my kid in the carrier on my front and back. I kept it stocked with wipes, diapers and of course snacks- It allowed me to always have what I needed but I didn't have to carry a big ugly diaper bag around everywhere I went!

I just got this a few days ago and I absolutely love it! It's small but has tons of room! I bought it for my phone keys tissue hand sanitizer! I work at a school and we go hiking with the kids so it's nice to be able to bring a few things along.

I bought this earlier this month to replace my much smaller Patagonia fanny pack. The Mantis 2 is roomy without looking ridiculous. I carry my phone, sunglasses, eye drops, wallet, keys and still have room for loose change.

I've had this a month, it's great for day to day use, has the right amount of pockets/ separators for small to medium items, the best quality.

I purchased this pack so I didn't have to carry a purse while biking, hiking or shopping. The pack is very roomy and holds everything I need. The back slot holds my IPhone 12 Pro Max perfectly!

Bought 2, used for travel to carry just essentials at quick reach. Just the right size when waist or shoulder carry. Rugged but nice looking. Bought 2 more for gifts. The best!

As a waistpack it is great for hiking and roomier than I thought, managed to carry my vest in the large zippered compartment. As a purse over the shoulder it is light and safely carries all the essentials and is pleasing to the eye.

I really like it and the color I ordered which not available in store, good size as I have one 8' tablets and 2 cell phones; can put everything inside with keys and purse together.
