I have the old Arc'teryx Mantis 26 backpack, and now I've bought the new model! It is a very well-made backpack. My only complaint is that the chest strap connecting the two shoulder straps isn't long enough.

The Arc’teryx Mantis is the right choice for everyday life and day hikes, for situations where you need to carry a lot of things but the day’s challenges don’t require you to carry ice axes.
Inside, against the back panel, you’ll find a flat pocket for a separately available hydration bladder or computer, the pocket measures at 31 x 22 cm, meaning it’s big enough for most 13” computers but not 15” ones.
The surface fabric is lightly impregnated (PFC-free) to be water-repellent, but for longer rain, you will want to prepare by getting a separate rain cover.
