What Is the OMM UltraFire 5 Vest?
The UltraFire5 Vest is designed for runners who need increased storage without sacrificing balance or freedom of movement. Retaining the accessible front-pocket layout of the TrailFire, it enhances carrying capacity with a 5-litre roll-top rear pocket. This high-mounted design keeps weight close to the body’s centre of gravity, ensuring stability across technical, uneven terrain.
What Is It Made Of?
Airmesh Back Panel
The breathable Airmesh inner lining provides soft cushioning, airflow, and quick drying. Its open-cell structure reduces friction, regulates temperature, and keeps you comfortable during long-distance efforts, even when worn over technical layers.
Ripstop Nylon Body
Lightweight yet abrasion-resistant Ripstop Nylon reinforces high-wear areas while keeping overall weight low. Its grid structure prevents tears from spreading, making it ideal for rugged environments. A DWR finish helps repel light rain and moisture.
Stretch Mesh Pockets
Durable stretch mesh forms the vest’s many pockets, expanding to fit gear while keeping contents stable against the body. It offers visibility, fast access, and long-term elasticity that resists sagging or deformation.
YKK Zips and Duraflex Components
Reliable YKK zippers ensure smooth, snag-free use in all conditions. Duraflex buckles and hardware—made from high-strength acetal plastic—provide dependable performance under temperature shifts, UV exposure, and impact.
Water-Resistant Performance
The blend of Ripstop Nylon and stretch mesh delivers quick-drying, water-resistant performance for comfort and kit protection in unpredictable weather.
What Are Its Features?
Running Geometry Fit
Designed with OMM’s running geometry, the UltraFire fits snugly and sits high on the torso to allow full chest expansion. The ergonomic straps and stretch fabrics distribute weight evenly and eliminate bounce even on technical descents.
7 Easy-Access Front Pockets
The front and side stretch mesh pockets offer quick-access storage for flasks, gels, nutrition, and small accessories. Their layout maximises balance and efficiency on the move.
5-Litre Roll-Top Rear Compartment
A flexible 5L roll-top pocket provides secure storage for layers, emergency kit, or food. The roll closure protects contents from rain and allows the volume to adjust with your load.
Hydration Compatible
The vest supports both hydration bladders via an internal sleeve and soft flasks in the front pockets, allowing a personalised hydration setup.
Secure Organisation
A zipped pocket keeps valuables safe, while internal compartments and a key clip help organise small essentials. Pocket placement ensures maximum accessibility without disrupting balance.
Lightweight and Durable
Weighing just 225g, the UltraFire5 offers significant storage capacity while remaining lightweight. Reinforced stitching, durable fabrics, and robust hardware make it suitable for long-term, high-intensity mountain use.
