OMM stands for Original Mountain Marathon. The brand grew out of a real event of the same name, first held in 1968. Runners tackle the UK fells over two days, carrying everything they need on their backs. When existing kit fell short, the organisers built their own gear. That’s how the OMM product range began.
OMM designs lightweight technical clothing, footwear and packs for trail running and mountain marathons. Every product goes through testing in real event conditions. The brand focuses on ultra-light protection that holds up in bad weather without restricting movement. Race vests, waistbelts and backpacks get particular attention, since they need to stay stable on technical ground.
At Compass Point, we stock OMM for runners who want gear built for genuinely tough conditions, not just marketed for them.
