Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Mantis 2 Waist Pack

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!

I'm loving it. I'm not a fan of waist bag. But this one makes my life easier. I can have it in my shoulder and waste area. It is very comfortable to wear. My phone, wallet, EarPods, extra battery pack and car keys are all stored in this bag. I guess this bag will go wherever I go.

Good size and good usage for me. I will reconfirm to friend.

I bought this bags this month, it held all essential stuffs and is light weight.The best feature is the phone pocket at the backside.

perfect EDC, useful and light. super value for the brand

I bought it for a month and it's really good for me

This is my first Arc'teryx product and I am very satisfy with this, it's in perfect size, I can have my wallet, keys, cash, coins and 2 cell phones in this waistpack with no issues, will come back and purchase more other items if needed.

Comparing to previous design, inner zip pocket is now placed at the padded wall giving a better weight balance when left opened. Zipper openings for both compartments feel wider too. Yes! I like the improvements. Thanks.

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.

I bought it few weeks ago, I definitely love it. I can put everything I need in the bag and got many separate pockets to make everything organized!

I bought mantis 2, and I used it for one month. Great waistpack!

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
