OMM Rucksacks and Lightweight outdoor gear.
Two months away fro the blog - what is happening? Time does indeed fly quickly - apologies for the missing two months, I hope to pick things up again...
Inspired tonight by Dee Blick from the Marketing Gym who gave a talk to local businesses in Horsham on newsletters and blogging. I'm also inspired by these great new rucksacks I am stocking and thinking about why I didn't stock them before.
The great new products are OMM Rucksacks. OMM stands for Original Mountain Marathon and I think this is why I have shied away from the for I am no mountain marathoner. I have friends who are, but I can't even imagine myself walking a marathon let along running one over mountains. They are a special breed.
But, OMM Rucksacks are amazing, lightweight and tough. They can be made lighter by stripping out everything you don't think you need, the parts that make is comfortable, because, lets face it, if you are tough enough to do a mountain marathon then you don't need to worry too much about comfort.
I've just been playing with an OMM Villain 45 and now desperately want to go out on a weekend trek and try it out. The OMM Villain 45 only weighs around 1100g. I'm going to set myself a challenge and see how light I can make a rucksack fully packed for an overnight expedition. (using my own clothing as I don't sell any yet!).
Check back in a couple of weeks and I'll let you know how I have gotten on. Do you have a piece of lightweight outdoor gear that you recommend?
