excellent but...
a year ago
This is the third reiteration I have purchased and it has some welcomed changes...the strap is thinner and ends at the bag end are covered so they do not pile and damage an entire wardrobe of clothing as previous versions have. The secure zipped interior pocket is once more moved to the back, making more sense, and the replacement of zips in general create a more efficient use of volume. The two hiccups is that on one side of the buckle the strap is still folded backward so that it rubs on and damages clothing, the other is the key strap has been moved from the front pocket to the inner zipped one. Although this makes keys more secure it is more awkward when needing them as they cannot be readily accessed.
Q: Pros:
A: more useful volume
Q: Cons:
A: key strap, buckle end strap
Q: Activity
A: everyday
Yes, I recommend this product.

Love the black-on-black logo!!!
a year ago
This is the 4th time I've gotten this same "waistpack" over the years, though I use it as a daily purse. I am thrilled to finally have one where the logo doesn't show up boldly, since I use it for both casual and dress-up occasions.
Q: Pros:
A: Black on black logo looks great!
Q: Activity
A: Daily use
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great sized bag, very functional
a year ago
Great bag but one huge oversight is that the strap is very rough and doesn't have enough width. If you wear this cross body, the strap material is rough enough that it will chafe any bare skin it comes into contact with, (neck, shoulder if you have a tank top on) especially if its full and/or heavy. Lots left to be desired regarding the strap, usual sling bags come with a full 1.25" vs this bag's 0.75" wide strap which distributes the weight better and is made of much softer material. Quite a shame because I want to love this bag but the strap is an essential part which makes or breaks the value. Now I have to either return it or buy a strap at an additional cost but the colours will be mismatched.

Just right in so many ways
2 years ago
Generally speaking, I'm not into the belly bag/man purse thing. But this Murse/bag works so well it's wonderful to use. Cross body front or back and around the waist front or back all work exceedingly well. It's big enough for a iPad mini and plenty of other things. In addition to that it's well made and has great organizational dividers and pockets. Love this bag!

Kleiner Rucksack ;-)
2 years ago
Die Mantis 2 hat eine angenehme Größe. Ich nehme sie meistens mit, wenn ich mit dem Hund spazieren bin, aber auch auf kurzen Wanderung kann sie schonmal den Rucksack ersetzen. Es passt alles nötige rein und das extra Handyfach finde ich genial, vor allem, da es groß genug ausfällt. Mein Samsung S20+ samt Flipcase passt locker dort hinein.
Durch die Einteilung, bzw. die Fächer findet alles seinen Platz und es entsteht nicht so eine Unordnung, als wenn man nur ein großes Fach hätte.
Die Verarbeitung ist einwandfrei, aber ich muss mich dem ein oder anderen Vorredner anschließen: Der Riemen hätte etwas breiter ausfallen können. Aber das ist meckern auf hohem Niveau.
Vom Preis her ist es tatsächlich auch okay. Da gibt es teurere Taschen, die wesentlich weniger bieten.
Positiv ist auch die große Farbauswahl.

A: Verarbeitung, viel Platz

Q: Activity
A: Freizeit, Wandern, Spaziergang mit Hund

Super Tasche, aber war mal besser
2 years ago
Als absoluter Fan der kleineren Variante Mantis 1 legte ich mir nun auch die größere Variante zu. Leider bin ich sehr enttäuscht über den schmaleren Trägerriemen. Der von der kleineren Tasche war breiter und weicher, einfach angenehmer in der Haptik. Jetzt ist er schmaler, dünner und härter. Wirklich schade. Vor allem ärgerlich ist, dass auf den Fotos meiner Ansicht nach der breitere Riemen abgebildet ist.

Amazing Functionality, Bad Durability
2 years ago
I bought this product for my trip to Japan around winter break. It held all of my important documents and items going there and back. After the first week I started to notice little holes on the back of the pack and started getting worse and worse as I wore it more. I'm guessing the material of the bag was scratching with the material on my jacket. I was very disappointed that the bag was in this bad of shape after a two week trip. Haven't worn it since.
Q: Pros:
A: Roomy, comfortable, adjustable
Q: Cons:
A: Subject to abrasion, low durability
Q: Activity
A: Sightseeing, walking around town
Yes, I recommend this product.

Everywhere, for everything.
2 years ago
I recieved a Mantis 2 over a year ago, and i wasn't sure if I'd use it beyond "puppy training / dog walking" pack. Welp, I'm addicted. It's my daily "purse" and my travel companion for everything. From international travel days to dog strolls to errand running I always have my Mantis with me. I got a new one just a few weeks ago to have a different colour option and to dedicate my older one to my muddy or rainy day dog walking adventures since it hasn't been treated the most kindly by myself after big soggy days.
Q: Pros:
A: comfy, key clip, secret pockets
Yes, I recommend this product.

Bad Straps
2 years ago
I've owned the previous version of these waist packs, the Maka 2, and I still use it to this day. That's how good the quality was. WHY change the straps to be thinner in depth and width but the bag is bigger. It's now uncomfortable with any weight in it. Even the clasps that hold the straps to the pouch aren't even the same build quality. I honestly don't recommend this bag after seeing the change in an integral part of having a comfortable strap bag. Arcteryx please explain this.
Q: Pros:
A: Big Pouch, colour schemes
Q: Cons:
A: straps, and clasps to hold straps
Q: Activity
A: Everyday Use
No, I do not recommend this product.
