Christine is great, would love to see more reviews with her style. Love this bag and would absolutely recommend it to anyone wanting a small sling to fit their pocket contents + a smaller device like a small tablet, a gaming handheld, etc. I usually carry items similar to Christine, and if I'm not carrying my Kindle, I have been able to fit a switch lite pretty comfortably in it.
I have an older Mantis 2 and its a fantastic bag. Its surprisingly large inside and has decent organization. I wish Arc'teryx would do a premium materials version since they work with so many interesting fabrics like Hadron and AC2. you can hand wash this bag or throw it into a wash bag and put it in the washer.
My favourite part about the harness system is it can be removed, it’s been fun swapping to a comfy Peak Design slide strap, or a small velcro I can loop through a backpack attachment point.
Matchy Matchy! (purple) great outfit, always like Christines reviews! i tried this bag on in the store about a year ago and the length seemed a little short on me (not sure if this is a diff version)
I've got multiples of these bags from the Maka 2 days and use them primarily for motorcycle travel. I like keeping hard items (phone, ridge wallet, keys) on my body but not in chest pockets. The design change I don't like is the flip between the dump pocket and zippered pocket in the main compartment. I put my phone in the dump pocket closest to my body and my ridge wallet in the small zippered main compartment. Not a fan of how they switched these around so I'm glad I got three of the older versions of this pack. I have not found a better pack that works for my needs.
That’s a really cool crossbody. I generally pretty much love all my Arc’Teryx gear. Just out of curiosity is that neural music or meditative music in the background? I’m not used to hearing BG music in PH videos. I kept looking around like where is that music coming from and realized it was in the video 😂

Thanks for sharing your insights! 🤙
Awesome review, I bought the mantis 1 at first but found it small and I just went and ordered the mantis 2 after seeing this review .

While wearing it as waist pack, might not be the most aesthetic pleasing, it's the best way of carrying if you have back problems.

Thanks for watching! 😃
Does it fit an iPad mini or Air?
I love the Arcteryx logo, this bag is soo pretty! I don't need it, but I wish. 😊💜

Wish you would review the new Cotopaxi allpa hip packs , 4 L , 3 L and 1 liter
So good looking...
The pack is pretty as well, I really like that colour.
Loving Krystine's outfit!!!
