"I was stoked to team up with Whippa on this pack, not only because they're a local manufacturer, but also because it meant we could really fine tune this pack to be the ultimate ultralight backpack for any adventurer." - Scott Williams
The 990g Colo 55 is the result of all of the feedback we have received from the Whippa community as well as a fruitful collaboration with Scott Williams of Scotty's Gone Walkabout fame. After spending a year using the Overland 60, Scotty came to us with some ideas for what would be his dream pack. A slightly smaller capacity, a few added features, some changes to the shape of the pack - he showed us exactly what works for him and we have gone and built it.
Since we first spoke with Scotty about designing him a pack, we have taken a lot of the feedback and ideas from this project and applied it across the Whippa range but this pack is the culmination of all of it and we think it is one of our best yet.
