the OMM Phantom 18

The Phantom 18 is a slimline VestPack for adventure racing. Stabilised around your spine with OMM's unique 7-point harness, connecting the pack to the runner's spine via a top-style harness to provide the most stable support possible. The shoulder harness also frees up the shoulders, allowing for a more energy-efficient run. Dual V-shaped anchors wrap around the waist to provide a secure fit and control bounce and sway on uneven terrain.

Combine the capacity of a pack with the convenience of a vest, perfect for multi-day racing or ultra challenges where regular stops to grab your kit are not an option.

Stabilised around your spine, the Phantom Suspension system uses a slim yoke behind the neck to attach the pack to the spine rather than the shoulders, allowing the shoulders to move freely, increasing the efficiency of your action.

Two shock-absorbing suspension cords over the shoulder work in tandem to further reduce sway and keep the pack aligned with the spine.

The weight of the pack is taken by the yoke attachment point with shock absorption and visibility controlled by the tensioned bungees over each shoulder.

Vertical movement is reduced by two balanced anchor points that feed into a split adjuster. This creates a very stable Y-shape that hugs the vest pack to the lower spine. As the runner pushes off, the weight pulls on the lower strap; as the runner falls back down, the upper strap tightens, preventing the shoulder from coming loose.
