Just found out how to adjust the sternum straps via the questions section on the Arc’teryx product page: "The sternum strap on the Arro 16 Backpack can be adjusted by sliding the plastic straw that it is sewn around up and out the top of the rubberized grid on the shoulder strap. Once the straw is removed, a new position can be chosen and the straw can be reinstalled through the opening at the top of the rubberized grid." Depending on how precisely your rails are cut, it can be super difficult to pull out. One of the rails on mine is longer than the other and took an insane amount of force to bend to where the opening is.
Hey loved the review and I'm planning on getting one, do you think it could fit a 15 inch MacBook pro although it says 13 inch on the site? Is there enough wiggle room for a 15inch laptop
Hey, wanted to ask if this bag could fit an M1/M2 Macbook Pro 14 along with the Rushfaster sleeve, considering how similar the dimensions of the new 14 inch Macbook Pros are compared to the older 13 inch Retina Macbook Pros. I'd assume it would fit, but thought I'd ask if I can get your input on it too. Also, really nice and detailed walkthrough of all the features of the bag, since theres not many reviews on it online.
The right side can probably fit a small 16oz water bottle. The left dedicated bottle pocket is extremely small and can barely fit a 32oz Hydro Flask. It's best for a smaller bottle size only.
Just bought this from their website for $150. Perfect for my intended use. I needed a backpack for traveling, commuting in the city, hiking, and work. This is small enough and looks amazing. Smaller in size for sure so keep that in mind.
Hi there! Arc'teryx recommends surface cleaning with a lint-free cloth. This should help remove some of the lint. If that doesn't do the trick, I'd suggest contacting their Customer Service team. They should be able to further assist you. All the best! Cheers
Hi Justin! The backpack has a capacity of 16L, which is relatively small for backpacks. While it's not directly related to height, taller individuals around 183cm (approximately 6 feet) may prefer a larger backpack for comfortable storage. The ARRO 16 Backpack is suitable for those who carry minimal items or prefer a compact and lightweight option. To ensure a proper fit, consider dimensions like shoulder strap length and torso length designed for. If you need more space or have specific storage needs, explore backpacks with larger capacities or adjustable features. Hope that helps!
That's a good question! While the Arc'teryx Arro 16 is a compact and versatile pack, it might be a tight fit for the MacBook Pro 14 due to its size. It's always a good idea to double-check the dimensions of both the backpack and your MacBook to ensure compatibility. If you need any further assistance or have any other questions, feel free to ask!
I appreciate your bag reviews and the format. Super informative and great clear communication.

Arcteryx has a video on adjusting the chest strap. I think it has an elastic loop underneath that rubber bit it goes into
will you guys be reviewing the new bellroy tokyo tote compact?
Great review! Is the link you have an arcteryx affiliate link? I didn't know they even had a referral program!
Which bag did you prefer the Granville 16 or the Arro?

Hi, sadly, it's not going to hold a MacBook Pro (15-inch). You may want to look at another bag with a bigger laptop compartment. Thanks!

did the 14 fit bro?
Will the right side pocket fit a water bottle if I want? How does the capacity compare to the other side?

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Glad that you love the bag and that it matches your requirements perfectly. Cheers!
What about the monthly roundup? Is a great idea, hopefully you keep doing it monthly
That's the plan. Thank you for always watching. - Prikee
How do you clean the front black area? I have the 22 in black and some lint is permanently stuck on there...

What colour is the accent? We only get Blue, Black and Green. That one seems to be a dark plum/purple.
Yeah I’m curious too I cant find that color
The official name of that colorway is "Dimma" and it is indeed a dark purple.
Wondering if the MacBook Pro 14 would fig
