Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Mantis 2 Waist Pack

I am loving it so far it's so comfortable and fits all my needs

Really well designed. Compact but roomy enough for the important stuff plus a bit more. Easy to get into, and the hidden phone pocket on the back is a great feature.

Versatile and widely adjustable, the mantis 2 is spacious enough for just about everything I carry with me on day to day errand runs or anything really. The phone sleeve on the backside has more than enough space for my iPhone 13 with otter box case. The main interior pocket is huge and easily fits my wallet, sunglasses and other ditties. I use the smaller front zip pocket for my car keys. I got the orca colour and the white zippers and logo add a nice pop to the black. Great investment for an everyday crossbody bag or wear it like a waist pack.

I had the older version and this new one has a slot for iPhone 13 plus max, many hidden zippers and storage. 10/10 would recommend vs spending 100+ on a "quality pack". Holds my sunglasses, cash, wallet, business cards, hand wipes and car keys no problem, highly reccomneded.

These bags are a staple in our family. We take them pretty much everywhere and use them as a sling bag or around the waist. They perfectly hold your phone, snacks, sunscreen, etc. We use them for all of our pet supplies on the trail, on the skin track, paired with a minimalist backpack for easy access to the goods, while traveling, etc. 10/10 recommend.

Great size, perfect to keep all the stuff we have to carry these days,Nice that it's a little larger than the most common waist packs. Works very well over the shoulder as well.Excellent/typical Arc'teryx quality and design expertise.

Bought in white (don't recommend that color) and loved it so much. When it came into stock again I bought both the black and blue versions. The amount of pockets and compartments is perfect for on the go.

Coming from the Mantis 1 the Mantis 2 was a welcomed addition. Its size took me a few days to get used to, however this thing holds almost as much as a small backpack for day trips and hikes. I was pleasantly surprised that my full sized iPhone with a case fit snug but not incredibly tight in the rear (padded vertical) pocket. This completely freeing up the inside for goodies. I was able to fit a perfect mix of tech and accessories (gloves and beanie) in the Mantis 2 with room to spare. When compared to other similar sized bags the Mantis 2 does have more of a wide body (longer vertically) than the slimmer profile of its competitors. However this longer wider body is what accommodates the iPhone to rest perfectly in the rear padded pocket. I'll continue to utilize the Mantis 1 for errands, and trips to the grocery store. However the Mantis 2 has already found its place for day trips, hikes, and outdoor activities. The revised Mantis 2 also has a slimmer strap than the 2021 version. Overall 5/5

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.

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!

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 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 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'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!

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.

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!

Extremely happy with this purchase! Sits on the shoulder well, compartments are a good size and small pockets inside are great for organising !!

Please make more and with other color choices. I have been waiting for so long. I gave one to my sister last year and we both loved it. I was hoping to get another one. But I don't like the colors left.

It's really great, really the only issue is the strap. If the strap did not have the rough edges and ends at attachment and cinch sites it would be perfect. In my attempts at alleviating the sharp parts against my tops with electricians tape, many of my expensive shirts have been victim to the pulls. Word to the wise, if you buy this examine all edges! Over passed couple weeks since receiving I have added more and more tape. I really should give the purse up and likely will for my older safer ones. I love Arc'teryx and this purse minus this issue and having to add tape.

I really love the design, but I wish the strap was 10-20 cm longer, especially since I'm a wide-shouldered XL size woman.It stayed under my breast where it shouldn't be. I don't prefer the Lululemon brand for this reason. All of their bag straps are too short. They're not suitable for wide-shouldered and XL-sized people like me

Buuuut the strap is way too thin and digs into the shoulder while wearing it crossbody.

This bag is not white like the one on the website, it's grey,
