Minimalism at its best with the Wisp. Ultralight weight waterproof shell that is perfect for stashing in your pack and forgetting about it until you need it - then it does exactly what it needs to!
OMM says
An ultra-lightweight and breathable waterproof smock that packs down to the size of a tennis ball. Ideally suited to mixed conditions and constructed using slimline, fully taped seams in a 2-layer waterproof fabric. Minimalist design with half length zip, elasticated closures on the hood and wrist plus adjustable dynamic droptail to prevent riding up when worn under a pack or when scrambling.
Our Verdict
OMM's Wisp Smock is a simple and effective racer shell. Weight is the key so there are no pockets, limited adjustments and no fancy features that will add weight. The jacket still has an elasticated hood and cuffs, thumb loops on the cuffs and simple adjustments on the hem. If you are only going to put this on to protect from the elements the lighter smock design works perfectly.
This jacket has taped seams, so it meets the mandatory kit list requirement, and is super light. It is not aimed as anything but a shell for throwing in your pack for trail and mountain races. It doesn't have the highest waterproof or breathability rating but for what it is used for it is spot on and it is significantly cheaper than the competition.
It is also advised to consider sizing up as they do seem to fit smaller then other brands.
