Has had their Ohm for three years and it has been a great pack, with enough room for all their winter trips.

Finds their ULA Ohm a lot more comfortable on the hips than the Exos 38 they had.
On their ULA Ohm 2.0, needles catch on the lumbar stitching, which has worn through their shirt and caused sores on their back.
“i have the ohm2.0 and needles get caught on the lumbar stitching and have worn through my shirt and caused sores on my back. last trip i was on a rabbit ate my hip”
Their ULA Ohm 2.0 has about 4,500 miles on it; the only repair was a snapped carbon frame that ULA replaced free on trail, until the Hayduke wore holes in the bottom and side pockets.
Started a 2017 PCT thru-hike with a ULA Ohm and made it halfway before admitting they hated it: its height made packing and unpacking difficult and the weight sat awkwardly on their body; they later settled on a framed pack with a hip belt.
Has done hundreds of miles with the ULA Ohm, sold it to try lighter packs and then bought another because they loved it so much; it has the best side pockets they've used, easily holding two 1 L bottles.
Just got a ULA Ohm and loved it on their first hike, especially its giant side pockets.
Loves their Large Ohm 2.0 in X-Pac with S-curve straps: no more dry bags or pack cover, the perfect size and a great carry, with great side and hip pockets; it replaced a much bigger Circuit.
Their Ohm 2.0 is the go-to for 2-3 day trips at a 12 lb base weight and carries well, though it gets tight with 6 days of food or big water hauls.
Their 2021 Ohm 2.0 was one of the gear choices they hated on a Colorado Trail attempt: the main body is large but the back stretch pocket is needlessly small, forcing them to open the pack for everything, and lighter packs hold more outside.
Hiked the PCT last year with a 2021 Ohm 2.0; few packs they saw lasted better, a crammed-in bear can didn't budge the seams, and the comfortable carry is worth the extra 6 oz over frameless packs.
Loves their Ohm 2.0: not the lightest, but easy to get under 10 lb base weight, and the hipbelt and frame carry weight really well on long food and water carries.
Their heaviest Ohm 2.0 (Robic) carry was 29 lb at the start of an 8-day trip with a 12 lb base weight, and it was totally fine; they think Robic and Ultra are both incredibly durable.
Fits a BV450 in their Ohm 2.0 with a thick 0F underquilt and top quilt, hammock, tarp and clothes with just enough space, but would choose a Circuit for a BV500.
Completed the JMT with an Ohm 2.0 and loved the pack, but their bear can didn't fit horizontally inside, so they had to strap it on top.
Has used an Ohm 2.0 for 10+ years and loves the cinch top; it still looks almost brand new while two Zpacks Arc Blasts shredded in a quarter of the time.
Stripped their Ohm down to a 28 oz frameless pack and it works nicely.
The Ohm 2.0 is their main pack with close to 1,000 km on it; pushed, it fits six to seven days of supplies plus standard three-season gear.
Their Ohm 2.0 is about 8 to 9 oz lighter than their GG Crown VC with much better side and front pockets, though the Crown carries weight better.
Reviewed their ULA Ohm 2.0 and really appreciates having a pack with a solid frame and hip belt for multi-day trips, though it is heavier than true ultralight.
Their Ohm 2.0 weighs about 32 oz with extras removed and is a great pack with zero complaints at a 9 lb base weight.
Always comes back to their Ohm: it carries weight well, has lots of removable parts, their favorite side pockets, and is basically indestructible.
Their camo Ohm is 27 oz stripped and handled 34 lb beautifully on the AT.
