Quality
Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Bags. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of OMM Ultra 8 Marathon Pack 2016.
The first thing is material. Looking at what OMM Ultra 8 Marathon Pack 2016 is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.
Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Bags. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.
There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Bags. Brands like OMM are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.
Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Bags category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.
Comparing Prices
Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Bags.
It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

OMM Ultra 8 Marathon Pack 2016 Reviews
Reading reviews is an amazing way of getting a good feel for a product without actually being able to try it or see it first.
There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.
1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.
2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.
Our best advice is to head over to Chain Reaction Cycles and read the OMM Ultra 8 Marathon Pack 2016 reviews there.

There are large mesh pockets – one on each side of the pack. The mesh pockets come with a strap system that allows you to separate out the pockets into two individual compartments. Ergonomically positioned above the kidneys for maximum levels of comfort the pockets are easy to reach on the go and can be used for carrying spare food, water bottles and kit.Chest and Waist BeltThe combined waist and chest strap can be fully adjusted to create a tailored fit to your specific body type that stabilises the pack so that it moves with your movements and not against them. The adjustability of the strap also allows you to prepare for various different terrains. When you’re on rocky terrain and you want absolutely no movement in your pack you pull the straps apart so that you have both the chest and waist straps at different parts of your torso to provide even more security. For flatter running conditions you can easily push the straps together for less tension.Yoke HarnessThe harness system comes with a yoke design that ensures that the weight of your pack is carried on your shoulders and not on your waist. This take the pressure off your lungs and chest giving you full breathability while you’re on the move. The yoke shape manages to spread the load of your pack across the shoulders to balance out the weight and keep you centred.FeaturesWrap around mesh side pocketsIntegrated whistle on chest strapCombined chest straps and waist beltYoke HarnessHydration compatible pocketLeanWeight Chassis systemEVA 9mm back padding38cm back padding8 litre capacityWeighs 220gBuy OMM Rucksacks from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
