Not sure if we can on here, plus the nature of the route (scrambly and rocky) means the GPX can be a little squiffy and part of the fun is weaving your own way up the scrambles, with endless variations! OS Map OL17 or Harvey Maps Snowdonia North SuperWalker XT25 both cover it well. Enjoy!

Thanks for the feedback!

Hi, we would suggest a Small in the Jacket & Medium in the Pants. Though fit is also down to personal preference how many layers you expect to wear underneath etc. You can also find size and fit guides on each product page: theomm.com/product/halo-pant/ We hope that helps!

@@Theomm thanks a lot, thats what I thought. What a quick response! 👍👍

Hi, whilst it is less common to use a Compressor Pod with Classic packs (due to already having the mesh panels) it is still possible. You still start with the UGR at the bottom of the pack then the cord on the Compressor Pod threads through webbing where the existing compression system attaches on the pack sides, allowing you to create the zigzag pattern, same as in the video. So whilst it looks a little different, the concept is exactly the same. Hope this helps! You can always email support@theomm.com for more info

It's a great day out on a beautiful mountain! The easiest way up Helvellyn is probably from the west, starting from Swirls carpark. A clear path leads to the summit from there. You can either go out and back the same way or else make a long loop by descending to Wythburn and back to the car along the forestry tracks. Striding and Swirral Edge are scrambly and exposed but there are a number of alternative options to the really exposed bits. We would definitely recommend getting a bit more experience in the fells before heading up there. Especially if the weather is anything other than clear and calm. We have a list of approved guides and training providers, ideal for skilling up and getting the know-how to explore in safety: theomm.com/training/. Footwear - there's lots of rocky ground so a good rubber compound is important, even more so than deep tread/lugs. Go for whatever is comfortable for you but a slightly stiffer shoe with a bigger rand (toe-bumper) or dedicated climbing edge at the front of the sole will do the trick! Best thing to do is get into a proper running shop with lots of choice and explain what it is you want from the shoe.

@@Theomm can't thank you enough!! This is seriously valuable information and I really appreciate your time replying to me. I'll definitely take it all on board and check out the link. You're very kind. Thanks again. C - Durham

Hi! Just head here: theomm.com/product/go-pod/ and select the colour you want. Also available from many of our retailers. Enjoy!

Hopefully your knees will be bending the right way in time for next October! Best of luck with the recovery.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. We'll do our best to show more detail next time. The internal organisation comes from mesh pockets on the inside back of the waistbelt. Thanks!

thanks for replying and good to know there's some mesh pockets/dividers inside. Just trying to decide if 6L is overkill for what I need or whether to get the 3L@@Theomm Cheers

Glad you enjoyed it! Here's hoping for similar conditions at the end of the month!

Nice! It's a brilliant route at any pace

Hi Joe, It's a fairly narrow sleeve but maybe a smaller notebook-style laptop. The only issue would be padding/protection. If it was in its own sleeve, that would make it even more snug.

@@Theomm understood, thanks for the very speedy response 👍

Thanks, we think so too!

Hi, thanks for the feedback. It's always useful to get real-world experience from our end users. We will pass it on to the design team. All the best, OMM

Nice! Let us know how you get on! It's a doozy 😰

It really is!

Thanks! It's a bit of an experiment for a new format so forgive the shaky edit...there was far too much heavy breathing on the original! More workouts to come...

Hi Graham, the measurements are as follows: At the base, the back contact width is 22.5cm, at the shoulder it's 19cm. The bottom-front of the bag is approx 23cm x 14cm. Total height approx 38cm and the opening is 30cm. Hope this helps!

:D

We don't set a water capacity, use good judgement/scoop on the go! Weight-wise, some teams get things down to 4kg (we think 3.8kg might be the record by Shane Ohly on the Elite). Most on average are around 6kg.

Hi Ben, good luck on the Spine CN! Pole carry is down to the individual. Some of us use the side mesh pockets for longer-term carry, others just stick them behind the chest harness or waistbelt for temporary carry whilst on more technical descents. It is also possible to thread a bit of shock cord through the UGR at the base of the pack for a longer-term solution. Find what works for you but don't be afraid to get creative :D

Hi Lloyd, as the Phantom already has pockets etc up front, it's less common to use with an additional pouch such as the Chest Pod. It is possible to make them fit but it's not quite as easy as with the other pack ranges plus you will find it doesn't quite sit as flush due to the bottle pockets. You can connect the top clips to some of the webbing/fabric tabs at the top of the shoulder straps and for the lower hooks, shorten them and connect to the webbing at the base of the shoulder straps. Hope this helps. Any issues email support@theomm.com or onto our live chat on the website: www.theomm.com

Check out the Rotor Hood Jacket! theomm.com/product/rotor-hood-jacket/

@@Theomm The jacket is too warm for strenuous activities. I'm just a fan of well-made hoods. Especially because I usually run with a headband. Nevertheless, your products are top.

You can try! :D

Hi, pretty much. The UltraFire has a zipped pocket on one side (on the ribs), elasticated on the other. The TrailFire just has elasticated on both sides.

It definitely needs to be experienced to be believed! See you next year?

Hopefully in the next couple of weeks ready for winter!

Hi Joakim, thanks for your interest. You can find more details about the temperature rating of our sleeping bags here: theomm.com/faq/#1556184244949-e5dabc10-282d . The Mountain Core 125 is our least warm bag and so best suited to warmer conditions where its increased breathability would be very useful, making for a comfortable sleep environment. Having said that, I know of at least one user who took his down to -8C, though reported feeling cold, he did survive, we just wouldn't recommend it! Hope this helps. Any more questions just email support@theomm.com

Sounds like you're going to smash it!

@@Theomm We’ll see….. At about 16:00 on the 30th 😰

No silly questions! The fabrics are waterproof, the stitching is not. So fine in most weather but best stick valuable and dry layers in a dry bag. Same goes for all our packs and vest, too!

Thanks Nick! Here's hoping for some slightly more moderate lakeland weather this year! 😄

Hi Paul, I think we have just replied to your email! It's all about cinching the cord into the grooves on the plastic eyelets. You can see it in action at 1:27 in the video

Hi, our packs are due to arrive in the next few weeks across UK and EU, a little delayed thanks to a few international issues!

Super, thank you.

"Its a bumbag Jim but not as we know it"

Thanks!

They work with 500 - 750ml bottles. They will work with soft flasks too, though once you get up to 500ml, they tend to stick out the top and move a little, so 350ml soft flask is better suited.

No problem to use with a pack, though like any lightweight fabric it will eventually see some abrasion. We'd always recommend regular washing and reproofing to reapply the DWR treatment to high wear areas such as shoulders and anywhere else a pack sits. Washing will also remove salt, oil and airborne dirt that would act to accelerate abrasion beneath the weight of a pack. you can find out more here: theomm.com/faq/product-care-instructions/

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed. Top tip: pick a better day than we did!

😅

Thanks!

As soon as we can! Unfortunately there is still lots of supply chain disruption out there but we are doing our best to get them available this summer.

Thank you!

Hot & humid temps will always hamper the breathability of a waterproof membrane as there is not much difference between the inside of the jacket and the outside to drive the vapour through the fabric. So whilst it will stop rain coming in, vapour transfer, from inside to outside, will be slower. This applies to all waterproof membranes but is most noticeable in lighter 2 layer & 2.5 layer fabrics such as these. The Kamleika fabric used in the sleeves and shoulders has a nylon face, making it more durable beneath a pack.
