To create its next staple, outerwear brand Arc’teryx is looking toward the classics. The Canadian outdoor brand’s Mantis series backpacks have become a go-to for hikers and commuters alike, and now the Arc is upgrading the series for the first time since its 2010 release.
The venerable backpack appears similar to its predecessor but arrives in a compact 16L size with more storage and sustainability. Stretchy mesh pockets on the sides give room for extra water bottles, a speaker, or a camera. Additional pockets are structured into the top of the bag, in the front, and inside, locked with a security clip.
