## Products
- [Breeze Hood \(Bonded Seams\)](https://theomm.com/product/breeze-hood-bonded-seam-edition/): A simple, lightweight pullover constructed from fast\-drying 4\-way stretch fabric with UPF \>30 sun protection\. This lightweight softshell is the ideal layer to pull on for training runs or early summer starts\. A close\-fitting elasticated hood, and athletic cut ensure a great fit and minimise excess fabric\.

Please note: This edition of the Breeze Hood is part of a limited run \- identical in spec and fabric to the standard Breeze Hood but with this version including bonded seams across the garment, an elasticated hood for a close fit, and no integrated thumb loops\.
- [Breeze Hood](https://theomm.com/product/breeze-hood/): A simple, lightweight pullover constructed from fast\-drying 4\-way stretch fabric with UPF \>30 sun protection\. This lightweight softshell is the ideal layer to pull on for training runs or early summer starts\. A close\-fitting hood, athletic cut and thumbloops ensure a great fit and minimise excess fabric\.
- [Classic 25](https://theomm.com/product/classic-25/): The Classic 25 is a large capacity running pack designed for use over long distances and challenging terrain, suited to a smaller frame or shprt back than the larger Classic 32\. Combining lightweight design with durable construction and innovative features, the Classic 25 is as at home on a short haul flight as it is on the slopes of a lonely Munro but to truly see it in it's natural habitat, look no further than a Mountain Marathon startline\.

First developed in 1973 to a specification set by Olympian and later London Marathon founder Sir Chris Brasher, The Classic was the first pack to look at weight as a key part of a bag's functionality\. Now in this latest iteration, The Classic balances weight, accessibility on the move, comfort \(at all speeds of movement\) and multi\-function componentry\. This is the pack that just works\. Perfect for an OMM but also at home on something easier like the MDS, UTMB, Spine Race, Dragon's Back, Grand2Grand, 4 Deserts, Fire \& Ice Ultra, Everest\.\.\.
It just does everything really well\. Its a Classic\.
- [Wisp Smock](https://theomm.com/product/wisp-smock/): An ultra\-lightweight and breathable waterproof smock that packs down to the size of a tennis ball\. Ideally suited to mixed conditions and constructed using slimline, fully taped seams in a 2\-layer waterproof fabric\. Minimalist design with half length zip, elasticated closures on the hood and wrist plus adjustable dynamic droptail to prevent riding up when worn under a pack or when scrambling\.
- [Ultra Shoe](https://theomm.com/product/ultra-shoe/): The OMM Ultra Shoe is built for runners going longer — where sustained comfort, protection and durability become critical\.

Designed with increased cushioning compared to the Trail and Fell Shoes, the Ultra sits on a 30mm stack height with an 8mm drop, delivering a more cushioned platform that absorbs repeated impact and supports efficient forward movement over time\. The lightweight EVA midsole is tuned to balance softness with energy return, helping reduce fatigue across extended efforts\.

The upper is engineered specifically for long\-distance comfort\. A soft yet durable two\-layer construction accommodates natural foot movement and swelling, reducing irritation over time while maintaining the resilience needed for repeated use\. Combined with the X\-Lace system, it provides a secure, even hold across the foot without excessive pressure or restriction\.

Underfoot, a Vibram LiteBase outsole with MegaGrip compound and Traction Lugs delivers dependable traction across mixed terrain\. The outsole balances grip and durability, ensuring consistent performance across long distances and repeated runs\.

This is a shoe designed not just to go far, but to keep performing when it matters most — maintaining comfort, control and reliability deep into long efforts\.
