Everything about this pack is ultra lightweight and practical as the feature list below illustrates.
Some people, as with shoes, can nitpick about fit and feel which can be down to body shape, but we couldn't really find a bad feature in the pack.
Whereas the smaller Last Drop 10L is designed for a "high carrying position" where the weight is mainly taken by the shoulders, the larger Ultra 15 and Ultra 12 are designed to sit lower down in the small of the back, with weight loading also on the hips. When the pack is loaded evenly and the respective strapping tightened, there is very little movement, however extreme and technical the terrain.
As the extensive list of features implies, OMM, who have been developing kit for the outdoor enthusiasts for 4 decades, use the experience gained from recreation, races and expeditions to create some of the lightest gear available: packed with useful geeky, yet totally practical features. Their testing and sourcing of strong lightweight materials means although you are getting a multitude of features, you are rarely having to pay for that in appreciable extra weight.
The bigger brother of the Last Drop Ultra 10 and Ultra 12, with extra features, this is a versatile lightweight zip access pack with EVA padded shoulder harness and pockets on both sides of the waist belt. Known as the "The ultimate Elite runners' packs" the lightweight OMM running backpack range is the first choice, as a fell running back pack through to training on the hills and trails, but can also be used as commuting backpacks. The 15 litre capacity is big enough to take all essential kit and snacks for a day event or training expedition, sometimes with room to spare, and is also excellent and manageable, as a commuting bag. It can comfortably take a complete change of clothes and a pair of shoes, or A4 size files and an iPad. It can take many small laptops but the weight means you may not want to run with that!

Hi - I have the OMM 12 and it is great, however the mesh at the back is like sandpaper and chafed badly on my back over 25miles a thin top. ReplyAdrian Tarit StottApril 20, 2013 at 9:13am
Hi Martin, thanks for your comment, always good to have feedback. We haven't been aware of any issues with OMM packs similar to your experience. All the feedback we get on OMM packs is generally excellent. To help us further get to the bottom of this, can you clarify:1) Exactly, where the chafing is happening?
2) Was your top a light wicking tee or a heavier thermal?
3) Was it raining?
4) Before the 25 miler what was the longest outing you had had with it?
5) Which Run and Become branch did you purchase from and approximately when?
6) Was the pack heavily/lighly laden?
Look forward to hearing from you. Reply
