Arc'teryx Mantis 16 Backpack is made for high-tempo days when you need a pack that is efficient, organised and comfortable across varied terrain. The pack holds 16 litres and is constructed from durable, lightweight packcloth in 100 % recycled polyester. It is treated with a PFAS-free FC0 DWR finish that repels light moisture, making it a reliable choice in changeable weather.

The main compartment opens with a panel zip for easy access to your gear. Inside, a pocket with a key clip keeps essentials secure, while a sleeve accommodates either a smaller laptop or a hydration bladder on longer outings. On the outside, stretch side pockets provide quick access to a water bottle, wind jacket or camera, and the top lid pocket keeps small items close to hand.

The carry system is designed for all-day comfort. The padded back panel incorporates both a framesheet and an aluminium stay to distribute weight evenly, and the shoulder straps are ergonomically shaped to follow the body's movements. A removable hipbelt and adjustable sternum strap stabilise the pack as the pace picks up. A solid carry handle at the top makes it easy to grab when you need to move quickly.

With a height of 45 cm, a width of 26 cm and a depth of 17 cm, the Mantis 16 is large enough to carry the essentials without feeling bulky. The iconic Arc'teryx bird on the front gives a clean, functional look that suits both outdoor adventures and everyday use.
