A fit that adheres to your back

The unique sway-resistant structure is truly excellent.

Simply pull the loop in the center of the side to firmly compress your gear.

This prevents items from shifting and provides a snug fit that adheres to your entire back, making it perfect for trails and gravel rides.

The comfort of the CLASSIC 25 feels less like "carrying on your shoulders" and more like "becoming one with your body," which is a major appeal.

The perfect size for cycling

Prevents helmet interference even in a forward-leaning posture

The low-profile design effectively avoids the "helmet interference problem" often encountered when using standard hiking packs.

The side pockets also fit cycling bottles, making it easy to use for camp rides and bike tours with just one pack.

It's a complete package that resonates with those who seriously enjoy both cycling and the outdoors.

A masterpiece pack packed with OMM's unique features

Details that prove their convenience the more you use them

It's packed with OMM's unique features, such as a large mesh pocket, a drawcord that can be opened and closed with one hand, a detachable waist pocket, and a back pad that can also be used as a simple mat.

The CLASSIC series' brilliance lies in its thorough consideration of "actual usability in the field," not just lightness.

In this era saturated with UL packs, this "just right" quality truly stands out again.
