MountainFire 15 Vest Pack Running Packs

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Stable at speed and impressively spacious, the MountainFire 15 is built for long runs and mountain days where flexibility and comfort are key.

OMM says: 

The MtnFire has increased volume roll-top pocket on the back, at 15 litres you could even pack for a Mountain Marathon. This addition prepares the runner to keep themselves safe with less accessed emergency kit such as additional dry layers, food and first aid.

Additional sleeve for bladder

Our Verdict

At 255g (medium), the MountainFire 15 manages to keep its weight low while offering enough capacity for a full day. The 15-litre roll-top compartment compresses well and holds shape neatly, with just enough structure from the harness to keep things balanced when fully loaded. There’s no bouncing about — the 3D mesh vest rides close and flexes with you, even when you’re moving quickly across broken ground.

Up front, there’s a good mix of stretch mesh and two zipped pockets, so snacks, gloves, or a phone are all easily accessible on the go. The roll-top access works well for keeping gear dry, although it’s not the quickest to access mid-run.

The pole storage is simple but functional, and while there’s only one method, it’s enough to keep things secure on less technical ground. If you want a vest that carries like a pack that works well for bigger days out, this is a solid option.
