The OMM Mountain Core Jacket is a high-performance insulated jacket designed for variable intensity activities in mountain and trail environments . By combining PrimaLoft® Active insulation with OMM's own lightweight, stretchy and windproof Flexile shell , the Mountain Core creates a garment that provides reliable warmth without compromising breathability .

PrimaLoft® Active is a synthetic “down-like” fiber woven through an open knit mesh , creating a high-loft structure with effective insulation. The result is fleece-like warmth at less than half the weight , while allowing excess heat and moisture to escape at higher intensities. This makes Mountain Core ideal for fast climbs, mixed tempo sections and chilly descents.

Like OMM’s other Core products, the Mountain Core is designed to perform both wet and dry . Synthetic insulation combined with excellent moisture transport means the jacket continues to warm even in damp weather. With 125 g/m² PrimaLoft® Active , with approximately 64-65% of the insulation coming from recycled materials , performance is combined with a more sustainable material choice. The insulation is also bluesign® and OEKO-TEX® approved .

The stretchy Flexile nylon/spandex shell provides high wind resistance and some water repellency , while maintaining good ventilation – perfect for changing conditions. The Mountain Core is designed to work alone in dry, cold weather , or under a shell in rain and strong winds for added protection and insulation.

A softly lined hood with a discreet visor provides extra comfort and protection against cold winds, and the jacket's functional details make it an obvious choice for mountain running, trail running and long days in chilly environments.

The OMM Mountain Core Jacket is an insulated jacket with PrimaLoft Active and a stretchy, wind-resistant outer fabric. This is the men's model, which has a relatively roomy Regular Fit to be worn over a base layer and a thin midlayer.

Start primarily from your chest measurement. Also check your body length and waist measurement and consider whether the jacket will be used primarily as an outer garment or under a shell jacket.

How is the OMM Mountain Core Jacket sized?

OMM insulation garments typically use a Regular Fit, with more room and a straighter cut than the brand's body-hugging running garments. The Mountain Core Jacket is designed to be worn comfortably over a first and second layer, while also functioning under an outer layer when the weather calls for extra protection.

The jacket should follow the body without being tight. PrimaLoft Active insulates by creating air pockets in the material, and a garment that is too tight can compress the insulation and reduce the space for warming air.

Our size recommendation

Normally choose the size that corresponds to your chest measurement.

  • If the chest measurement is in the middle of a range, we recommend the current size.
  • If you are between two sizes and mainly wear the jacket over a thin sweater, the smaller size can provide a more body-hugging fit.
  • Choose the larger size if you are near the upper end of the range or want to wear the jacket over a heavier midlayer.
  • If you have broad shoulders or thicker upper arms, you should not go down a size.
  • Check your waist measurement if your bust and waist place you in different sizes.
  • Don't choose a jacket that is too big if it will often be worn under a shell garment, as excess material can bunch up and feel bulky.

Adjust the size according to the use

As an active outer layer: Normally choose your usual OMM size. The jacket should allow space for a base layer or a thin functional shirt.

Over base layers and thin mid layers: Regular Fit should usually provide enough room in your normal size.

As a warming reinforcement garment: Consider a size larger if the jacket will regularly be worn over multiple layers during breaks or after completing an activity.

Under a shell jacket: Don't choose a size larger than necessary. Make sure that both the Mountain Core Jacket and the shell jacket can be closed without compressing the insulation.

How do you measure?

Chest: Measure horizontally around the widest part of the chest. Let your arms hang relaxed.

Waist: Measure around the natural waist without tightening the tape measure.

Body length: Measure barefoot from the floor to the highest point of the head.

Please measure and try on the same layer that you plan to wear under the jacket.

Check the fit

Close the jacket over your planned layers and check that:

  • it does not tighten over the chest, shoulders or shoulder blades
  • you can breathe deeply without the material tightening
  • you can stretch your arms forward and over your head
  • the insulation is not compressed over the chest or back
  • the sleeves cover the wrists when the arms are bent
  • the bottom edge stays in place when you lift your arms
  • the hood can be used without pulling on the neck or shoulders
  • The jacket allows for movement without unnecessary excess fabric.
  • a shell jacket can be worn on top without the layers feeling cramped

The right size should allow room for functional layers and preserve the volume of the insulation, while still allowing the jacket to feel flexible during movement.
