Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Granville Crossbody Bag

Robust, waterproof, and visually attractive. However, it's not a crossbody bag, it's exclusively a hip bag. It is far too large and rigid to comfortably wear across one's torso (Medium shirt size, 5'10"), even after softening it with steam. The strap connection is also designed in opposition to wearing it across one's torso. The side of the bag with the loop attachment to the strap is angled the wrong way to let the strap bend around the body and over one's shoulder. It is angled in a way that keeps the strap extending perfectly straight from the side of the bag. This makes it very effective as a hip bag, but perfectly inappropriate as a crossbody bag. When wearing it as a crossbody bag, that strap connection forces the bag to twist away from you as though it were top-heavy, unless you tighten it firmly, but then it is even more uncomfortable as the rigid material creates sharp edges that dig into you despite the pad on the back. Strangely, the "mantis waist pack" is designed as a much better crossbody bag, and this crossbody bag is designed as a much better waist pack. Unfortunately the mantis is not waterproof.

Great bag, but if the strap is a little longer then would be prefect. It would received 5 stars because than it would be perfect for all occasions.

This bag is absolutely perfect for running in. Its curvature fits snuggly in the arc of your back with no extra rubbing or chaffing. Items stay secured inside and you know I had to get the vibrant orange one.

Good for commuting and light pack weight for day hikes and travel for work .

I have had other cross body bags and wanted something that wasn't too big, fitted well against the body and looked good. I love this bag and wear it everyday. Can comfortably fit I phone 15 Pro Max, bunch of keys, small wallet, pen and coins. It's quite a stiff material and unusual but robust and water resistant. Also really like the subtle logo on the front which is reflective and looks good.

Wear this everyday. Perfect. Waterproof a d the zips work nicely.

Cool crossbody bag!

Very happy with this purchase! The features are great for travel.

My go-to cross body bag for: hikes, neighbourhood walks with my dog, quick trips to the grocery store, quick access to important things during flights, traveling through Italy. It's the perfect size and can hold more than I originally expected and even when it's full, it isn't bulky. Love the look of this bag, it is sleek and the canvas colour is *a chef's kiss*. This was the perfect little bag for bringing to Europe as I was able to put necessities in it, keep it close to the body, and it was small enough to put into my Konseal 15 when necessary. 10/10 would recommend.

Does the job, just wish the strap was longer as when I have a sweater or jacket, it doesn't fit sometimes.

It is good bag, little bit water-resistant. But the color is not what you see online. Picture is brighter so it looks like white for me when I decided to purchase it.

Unfortunately the buckle had been placed on the wrong way round so the strap would have been permanently twisted. There was no way the strap could be untwisted to correct the mistake. Will re order but fearful they might send me the same item again will order a different colour

The strap is so rough and uncomfortable. It could also use some pouches on the inside to organize better but otherwise if you don't have much it's ok I guess
