FAQs

Can this pack fit a water bottle?

The Mantis 1 Waist Pack is designed for smaller essentials. It is unlikely to fit a standard water bottle comfortably. Consider a larger pack if water bottle capacity is a priority.

What is the capacity of the Mantis 1 Waist Pack?

The pack is optimized for essentials like a phone, wallet, and keys. Specific capacity in liters is not provided, but it is a compact design.

How do I clean the Spacermesh™ back panel?

The Spacermesh™ panel can be spot cleaned using a damp cloth with mild soap. Ensure it is thoroughly rinsed and air-dried.

Is the 'Rune Sea Salt' color waterproof?

The bag features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which helps repel light moisture. It is not waterproof and should not be submerged in water.

What materials is the Mantis 1 made from?

The pack is constructed from durable 100% Polyester, including 600d DTY rePET plain weave for the body and 200d DTY rePET dope dyed plain weave for the lining, both with a FC0 DWR finish. The back panel uses Spacermesh™.

What does 'Bluesign® approved' mean?

Bluesign® approval indicates that the materials used have been manufactured using a sustainable process that minimizes environmental impact and ensures consumer safety.

Can I remove the strap to wash the bag?

The strap is integrated and not designed to be removed for washing. Spot cleaning is the recommended method for cleaning the entire pack.

Troubleshooting

Strap adjustment is difficult

Ensure the buckle is clean and free of debris. If it feels stiff, try gently working it back and forth while pulling the strap.

Zipper is sticking

Gently rub a graphite pencil tip or a bit of wax along the zipper teeth to lubricate it. Avoid using oils that can attract dirt.

DWR finish seems less effective

The DWR treatment can wear off over time. Consider reapplying a specialized fabric protector designed for technical outdoor gear after thorough cleaning.

Bag feels uncomfortable

Adjust the strap for a proper fit and ensure the back panel is positioned correctly against your body. Overfilling the bag can also affect comfort.
