Goldilocks of school backpacks

5 years ago
I've been looking for a durable, light, and sleek looking backpack for school. Prior to this backpack, I had gone through 2 different bags. I even went to MEC to try and find the right backpack, but I finally caved and went to the Downtown Store to check these out. There are enough compartments to properly organize my laptop, loose-leaf, lunch, devices, cords, etc. Anything smaller than a 26L didn't fit for being at university all day. Fits very nice on my back and adjusts well. I carry my water bottle and coffee mug, so having two water bottle pouches was a plus. The small top compartment is perfect for quick access. Everything about this bag is about efficiency and convenience. I also found that with the way it's shaped, I often have more room at the top than I might have thought. The cons are the zipper and loading orientation. The bag has a tendency to lay flat rather than stand up when loading, which could be annoying since I don't want all the dirt from the ground getting on my back. And the zipper seems to catch every once in a while. Other than that, I really enjoy this backpack. I've had it for a few weeks now and have recommended it to friends and family.

I had several bag's in my life and all off them was good besides one problem that after awhile I started to have a lot off pain in my back and especially around my shoulder and was very fostrat so I searched for a bag that will be very comfortable especially in my shoulders and the back and since I have several things from arcteryx (alpha is, tiya jacket, beta ar, 4 covert cartigan, covert cartigan hoody) and all off them was high quality well made products, I decided to buy the mantis bag and there is no surprise again high quality well made bag with room for all the things that you need such a little pocket to documents and cell phone and large pockets to put in computer Or clothes depending on which trip you are going also there is two pockets in the front that very big because that their not connected one to another so they have a lot off room inside to put in tablets (12" in the large and 9" in the smaller one) that if you are in the city but if you are going to strip in forest or mountain you can easily take all what you need (for one day only) such as clothes and spare off shoes and two large bottles in the sides and also in the pockets and also you can take food and you still have plenty of room inside because it is a large bags also the zippers are well made very easy to zip also it prevents a little water from coming inside the bag but it isn't Waterproof (don't get inside water) I didn't had all the day bags in the world but I defently sure that this bag is one of the best, useful and comfortable day bag out there very recommended

If you know how to accomodate several things inside, for a quick trip (in my case 4 days to Oaxaca, carry on only necessary and elemantal stuf), this backpak works perfect. You may also add poles on lateral side, usig the holder located inside whit a smal rope.

I was expecting better!

6 years ago
This bag is just overall very awkward. It look weird empty and it looks weird full. The back is scratchy, too. Two weeks after having this bag, it had an issue with the internal frame, Arc’teryx was not helpful when I reached out to them about this. Threads are coming out all over the place. It is difficult to fit nalgene in the water bottle pockets. Not worth the money.

Very good, with minor cons

6 years ago
I wanted a new backpack to replace my old Eddie Baurer bag that I used for 15 years. I had a very specific set of requirements. After weeks of looking, this is the only bag I found that met my requirements. My requirements - interior laptop sleeve - no exterior laptop compartment - multiple small pockets - two water bottle holders - chest and waist strap - back support - warranty - between 24-28 L - Long zipper so the bag could fold in half almost to make it easier for day trip packing - no waist pouches (sorry Osprey Talon and TNF Litus) Pros - met all of my requirements - I found the three small pockets in the front very useful - the elastics on the waterbottle pouches are nice and tight - very good back support and straps - the material seems very high quality and durable - I bought the blue, which turned out much brighter/shinier than the picture. Which I liked. - nice shoulder and back padding Cons - zipper struggles to zip if the bag is full or with one hand. This is because the material around the zipper is quite stiff, so you sort of have to adjust the bag while zipping. - it is difficult to stuff the bag when it is full because everytime you push stuff into the bag, the zipper loosens a bit. Consider having zipper locks so that the zipper only moves when you tug on it. - elastic holders/straps for the straps that adjusts the shoulder straps and the waist straps would be nice to prevent them from being caught on stuff and dangling everywhere - the strap used to adjust the length of the main backpack straps loosens really easily. Would be better if the straps had a firmer hold - zippered pocket inside the front utensils pocket would be nice, for small objects that easily fall out (especially in consideration of the 'flopping' problem described below). - the shoulder straps of the bag is really rigid. This makes it hard to put on and take off sometimes. - it seems to be smaller than the indicated size. I have multiple 26L backpacks, and they all fit noticeably more stuff than this bag (maybe because of the rigidity and non-stretch material of this bag?). Other - the laptop sleeve inside is quite small. I have a 14 inch Lennovo thinkpad and it just barely fits. It would not fit larger 14 inch or 15 inch+ laptops - I am a slim guy, and I had to extend the chest/waist straps to the max with wearing my parka. It fits me, but I can imagine it being tight for larger guys - The front of the bag flops over if you unzip it past a certain point. This is not a problem for me because I specifically wanted a bag that could zip down all the way, but I can see this being a hassle for others. - would be nice to have compression straps/buckles on the sides of the bag. Placed on the right spot, this might fix the flopping over problem in my previous point. - whistle on the chest strap would be nice. This is overall a great bag. none of the cons i mentioned are big problems for me, just really minor inconveniences. I'd buy this bag again. I've used it several times for long hikes, day trips, and alpine skiing, and its been great. if you want a bag just for work/school, there are probably better bags out there. if you want a bag just for hiking, the TNF Litus or Osprey Talon are better choices. But if you want a bag that's appropriate for rigorous outdoor activities that can also blend in for normal every-day use, this is the bag for you!

A bit disappointed

6 years ago
I got a blue color (not available anymore) and it is a nice color. the backpack is a good size for travel and has a lot of pockets, which is great (especially the one on the outside for water). However, if you place the backpack on the floor (empty or full), it falls forward or backwards. basically, it seems the bottom of it is not flat enough for it to remain standing. so you need to support it when it is on the floor or let it fall on its side (which is not ideal when you use it as a carry on in an airplane). Also, the compartments are kind of floppy (if that makes sense). the one on the front of the backpack, if there are items in it, and you open to get something, the whole thing flips over and your things just fall out of it. Basically, the weight of the items inside (small items) forces the surface of the compartment to open wide (i attached pics to show what i mean). I used it so obviously i cannot return it, but if i could i would. I would, though, try another arcteryx backpack because i still love the brand.

My go to Travel Backpack

While you could use this pack for a lot of things, it has served me incredibly well for traveling. I put everything I don't want lost or destroyed while flying in this backpack. It has held up to over 6 years of deployments to the middle east and is still going strong. Not my favorite day pack for the woods, but it shines for traveling.

Very Functional

7 years ago
Was very glad they brought this pack back. The newer version is lightweight, professional looking but also functional with the many pockets and organizational slots. The zippers are very smooth and don't snag when quick access is needed. Very minor observation is the pack straps might be a little too narrow for larger persons but doesn't take away from all the positives. Larger version would be ideal. Thanks Arcteryx.

I concur in the five star review. I used this as a carry-on on a recent long three day trip and found it very smooth to use in airports, hotels, cars, etc. Pockets are easily accessible. The inside has planty of room for everything you could think of and yet the pack stays light and easy to use. Definitely my go-to for a carry on now and I will be testing it out on a day hike soon. This is my first Arcteryx product but won't be my last.
