See our entire range from the OMM here!

The OMM Pole Pod is a modular and ultra-lightweight solution for carrying running and hiking poles , developed for trail running, mountain running and fast adventures in technical terrain . It is designed to work perfectly with all OMM backpacks and vests , but is also compatible with many third-party backpacks that have suitable attachment points.

Made from the same durable yet lightweight nylon material used in OMM’s other pack range, the Pole Pod is reinforced with stiffer panels that retain their shape. This makes it easy to quickly pull out and put back in your poles , even when you’re on the move or wearing gloves. An elastic compression solution combined with carefully selected Duraflex components ensures that your poles stay firmly in place and bounce is minimised , even on steep or technical terrain.

The Pole Pod is easily mounted via an adjustable webbing attachment around the shoulder strap of a vest or backpack. It can be positioned vertically along the side of the pack or – on more low-profile running vests – diagonally across the chest to the opposite lower attachment . This provides flexibility to adjust placement to suit pace, terrain and personal preference .

With a focus on quick access, the Pole Pod makes it possible to access or store poles without removing the pack , which is especially valuable on short steep sections, hands-on climbing or when the terrain changes frequently. Despite its robust construction, the Pole Pod weighs only around 80 grams , making it one of the lightest pole holders on the market .
