Hot Ultra 20 Race Pack Running Packs

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The OMM Ultra 20 Race Pack, weighing just 370g, is a minimalist pack for long trail runs. Despite its lightweight, it features a comfortable 3D mesh yoke harness and padded back panel.

OMM says: 

The NEW Mono Polymer Ultra 20 is the smallest of our multiday bags or suited to longer hill days where extra kit is required. Designed to be carried on the hips with a load between 3-15kg with increased shoulder padding for comfort and stability

Our Verdict

When fast-and-light is the game’s name, the OMM Ultra 20 Race Pack delivers streamlined carry for long days on the trail. Tipping the scales at just 370g, this minimalist pack’s LeanWeight design strips away unnecessary bells and whistles. The simple top-loading main compartment has enough space for essentials on big training runs or overnight fastpacking missions.

Despite its featherweight construction, the Ultra 20 doesn’t sacrifice carrying comfort. The 3D mesh yoke harness and padded back panel with 9mm EVA foam prevent hot spots when the pack is loaded between 3-15 lbs. Stretch mesh pockets provide easy access to snacks and soft flasks. A front zip pocket stashes small items in the “lock and load” zone. For ultralighters who want a no-frills pack that can go the distance without slowing them down, the Ultra 20’s dialled simplicity and low weight are hard to beat.
