The best review so far about the Mantis. This guy nailed it. I have the midnighthawk color. I am using it daily plus in all domestic and international flights. The pack is fantastic. Great video brother.
Thanks for the kind words. It is a great backpack. So much so, I find myself not having a need to really branch out to others haha. Love it for travel though. Thanks for watching Dimitrios.
Great video and review! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience with this 26L backpack! I hope you and your family have an awesome weekend man! Stay blessed
Only flaw I'm noticing is that it doesn't have bungee ropes or an exterior buckle to attach wet clothes, flip flops, etc. Otherwise looks like an excellent backpack
Good timing, great review of course but that's a given at this point. Just received my new 'taking on flights' backpack, had a right mission trying to find something with the little admin/pen pocket area that could also fit a 17" laptop (but only just, so it can still come on the plane).
Nice man! There are a million packs out there, but ironically, finding the right one can be a challenge. And by the right one, I mean something other than a sack with shoulder straps...
@@KitBadger surely I can fold the backpack in half coz I haven't seen any metal frame sheet on my Mantis 26L. Weird though. Same design and same built as yours but no metal frame sheet

Hey what brand is your camera case? Looks great and seems to fit well with the bag, my current one would be too thick I think.
excellent review, im sold!
Right on Jennifer, I still use it regularly to this day. Go To travel backpack. :)
Great review, is this big enough for a day hike pack or would the 32 be better or is the 32 a bit large as a carry on ?
How big of a water bottle can this backpack hold?? Can it hold a 64 oz Yeti water bottle?
Just found your channel, great video!
What trousers are you wearing here? I like the double knee without any apparent bulk.
Thanks for watching! Those are some of the Mountain Khaki Cambers: kitbadger.com/mountain-khakis-camber-105-107/
Got a question Kit, why does my Mantis doesn't come with Metal backplate support? Is your Mantis Made in the Philippines as on the label? Thanks
I guess mine has a metal piece too, thin covered in nylon running down the middle. It is made in the same place as well.

@@代尼彥 mine is pretty rigid, but it is a plastic sheet with a aluminum, I think, runner going vertically.
When you are wearing the mantis like in 7:10, can you access the zippered side pockets at the back of the pack?
Not with my flexibility Michael. I unsling it to access the pack.
Ok, thanks Kit!
