Question 1

I read Mantis backpack care it just say need surface clean and have FC0-DWR on top but should I  spray  some DWR after time in the backpack? And can the Scotchgard Spray Idrorepellente Heavy Duty can be used on the backpack

Amelie, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hello Noah, thank you for your question. The Mantis 26 Backpack is treated with a PFAS-free FC0 DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish to help shed light moisture. Over time, with regular use and cleaning, the DWR treatment can wear down. You generally do not need to reapply DWR unless you notice that water is no longer beading on the fabric and is instead soaking into the surface. If you do choose to refresh the water repellency, we recommend using a DWR treatment designed for technical outdoor gear and following the product instructions carefully. We typically recommend using products intended for performance outdoor fabrics and testing any treatment on a small area first to ensure compatibility and avoid affecting the fabric's appearance. We hope this helps!

Question 5

Hello, I have 2 questions, is the dark stratus backpack lighter in person? I have a picture of it, but it looks more like a whitish gray, rather than a dark gray.  Also, does anyone know how long it will take for the dark stratus backpack to restock?

Helio, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thanks for your question! Regarding the Dk (dark) Stratus colourway, colours can sometimes appear differently depending on lighting conditions, screen settings, and individual perception. The Dk Stratus colourway is intended to be a muted slate blue-grey tone, and we would expect the colour in person to be consistent with what is shown online. That said, the appearance of the fabric can vary slightly depending on the environment and lighting, which may make it look lighter or darker in certain settings. Regarding availability, at this time we do not have specific restock dates or a timeline for when the Mantis 26 Backpack in the Dk Stratus colourway will be back in stock. Availability can fluctuate throughout the season, so we recommend using the "Notify Me" feature on the product page to receive an update as soon as your preferred colour becomes available again. You're also welcome to sign up for the Arc'teryx newsletter to stay informed about new product releases and exclusive offers, or check with an authorized Arc'teryx retailer for additional inventory availability.

Question 8

how do you wash the backpack?

Nemo · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thank you for your inquiry. To clean your Mantis 26 Backpack, we recommend a light surface wipe only—empty the pack, shake out any debris, and use a soft sponge with clean water or a small amount of mild detergent to gently remove dirt without soaking the fabric. Rinse away any soap residue and let the pack air‑dry in the shade. Because of the materials and protective coatings, the Mantis 26 should not be washed, submerged, tumble‑dried, bleached, dry‑cleaned, or ironed.
