Perfect little carry-all
2 years ago
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.
Q: Pros:
A: Storage, fits phone, adjustable
Q: Activity
A: Everyday
Yes, I recommend this product.

Don't buy any other waist pack but this one!
2 years ago
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.

A: Every day use

Perfect size for all your essentials!

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.
Q: Pros:
A: Multiple pockets, light, durable
Q: Cons:
A: None
Q: Activity
A: Hiking, climbing, traveling, backpacking
Yes, I recommend this product.

Who needs a backpack?
2 years ago
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
Q: Pros:
A: plus sized iPhone pocket
Q: Cons:
A: None, can't even nitpick here.
Q: Activity
A: errands, hiking, daily use

Parfait pour les voyages quotidiens. L'arrière du sac dispose d'une poche pour un téléphone portable et d'une conception multicouche pour protéger le contenu . La première petite poche est munie d'un crochet et d'une boucle pour empêcher les objets de tomber . Le dos du sac est fait de mousse en filet, ce qui est très confortable . En plus de cela, le sac a une grande capacité. On peut y mettre un ipad mini .

I love it but….
2 years ago
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.
Q: Pros:
A: Everything but strap
Q: Cons:
A: Strap
Q: Activity
A: Walk, hike, bought for travel
No, I do not recommend this product.

I had the same issue. The back of the bag caused abrasion on my two Lulu Lemon Jackets and one expensive dress on the waist area after having the waistpack on for several hours.

Best bum bag I’ve ever owned
2 years ago
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.

A: Lightweight & versatile
Q: Cons:
A: Nothing
Yes, I recommend this product.
