Too many straps

Too many straps for day to day use. I find myself having to tie straps around themselves so they dont whack into me while waking around the city. The zippers are super strong, and the inside is good, but way too many straps

Hello Dens, thank you for your feedback on the Mantis 26 Backpack. We're sorry to hear the straps are uncomfortable with heavier loads. Adjusting the shoulder and sternum straps may help distribute the weight more evenly. We'll also share your experience with our design team.

School

Overall, a really nice backpack. My daughter loves it for school. Hope you make more school friendly backpacks ,the size is great would be nice if you could make a 30L like this as well . Or even deeper to fit more textbooks in in the 26 L

Great design, built well

This pack is built well, and nicely designed, the different pockets provide a tone of sorted storage room for all you different things. Ive just used it to travel but can see it being a great day pack or overnight pack for hikes etc.

Plenty of room and simple design

I bought this for comminuting for work and school but was able to use it for camping and hiking Mt Townsend in Washington State. The simple design and having plenty of room to fit my jacket, food/snacks an two water bottles was great and having the small pocket to hold my wallet and keys was amazing. This backpack is versatile and being able to use it for multiple activities .

Hello Colton, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing tear issues with your Mantis 26 Backpack. We can see you have already submitted a Product Service Request form for our team to take a closer look. Our After-Sales team will be in touch soon.

Arc’teryx were not willing to do anything about this issue and said it’s normal wear and tear. Disappointing that a bag designed for the outdoors can’t handle a college classroom. This is a design issue, as the point where the plastic back supports meets the bottom of the bag is not properly reinforced. I suppose asking the bag to handle the abrasion of a carpeted auditorium is unreasonable.

Bad quality shoulder straps.

After about 8 months of use, the straps began to show seam chipping. Not much use, about one trip out a month. The capacity of this bag doesn't feel like it matches the weight his straps can hold. If you want to fill it up to 26L, you need to keep an eye on the condition of the straps.

Couldn't recommend it more

Honestly one of the best backpack I've ever bought. Persuaded about 5 of my friends to get one too because I don't stop talking about it- and they all love it too. It fits so much in there, it's marked as 26L but feels more like a 35L. It just seems to fit everything + more. It has lots of compartments that are so useful, including a key holder, trinket pocket and adjustable mesh bottle holders. It's also compatible with hydration bladders, but the internal pocket is great for a laptop too. I also have a weak shoulder due to injury, and most backpacks are quite uncomfortable for me. But, I've had no issues with this one- it's made carrying all my stuff on my daily commute so much easier.

Solid backpack, worth it

Love this backpack, holds everything I need and more, while not appearing bulky or busting at the seams. Only problem is the the shoulder straps are very thin, which gets uncomfortable when carrying heavy things, and the waist buckles are a little long so when you're not using them they swing around and get caught on things.

Good bag.

Product is good, but not long lasting. The design, build quality, style, are fantastic. I used it almost everyday for a year, on 100+ flights. Now it has a few holes in the material. I believe the material could be a bit thicker in places.

Just not the same

Too bulky. Not as streamlined as the version I have from 5 years ago. Top pocket small and immaterial. I like the removable hip belt. I have liked my pack for everyday use. This one , in it's design, seems to attempt more than it is capable of.

Size 26 only

Things are not parallel inside, placed on one side, the shoulder strap is very bad, often sliding down, which is very troublesome, I don't want to have to buckle all the straps together every time I carry this bag, but if I don't, the straps will fall off and keep me very busy,

little dissapointed

This backpack provides no stability just pure looks. Why? Once you place items inside the pack, the distribution of the weight places pressue on your back along with the thin straps. Not practical only a bag to show up the logo. what is needed is inside sleeves to place items appropriately then solidify the weight distribution.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Great everyday pack but durability issues

Bought 2 weeks ago with about 8-10 days of regular use and the hip strap broke. The strap is held by a thin cord which tore at the seam where it’s connected to the pack. Otherwise good features pack and feels of solid quality. This issue seems like a one off.

A: Good quality/feel, Well designed
