Compact and clearly organised
The Mantis 16 from Arc’teryx is a daypack for those days when you want to travel light and efficiently. With a volume of 16 litres, it offers enough space for your essentials without adding unnecessary bulk. The main compartment opens wide, making it easy to see what is inside and access your belongings quickly, whether you are on your way to work or popping out for a quick trip. Inside, you will find a separate compartment for a hydration bladder or a flat electronic device, as well as a security pocket for keys and small items – all logically arranged and free from unnecessary frills.
Comfortable to carry and lightweight
Despite its compact size, the Mantis 16 feels surprisingly well-balanced when worn. The padded back panel, ergonomically shaped shoulder straps and removable hip belt ensure that the weight stays close to the body and is distributed comfortably even over several hours. Weighing in at around 700 grams, the backpack is barely noticeable, making it particularly practical for longer days on the move.
Durable material for high longevity
The outer material is made from durable, recycled polyester and is specifically designed for longevity. Plus, the material is lightweight, abrasion-resistant and easily withstands everyday wear and tear. This is complemented by a water-repellent finish that reliably keeps out light rain or splashes.

- Compact 16-litre capacity for everyday use and short trips
