★★★★★Overland 60 and Wollemi 90L
We were planning a Tassie trip and considering getting Hyperlite Packs to cut down on weight. I came across Whippa, liked the look of them, the fact they are made in Australia, and decided to give them a go. We needed them fairly quickly and the staff at Whippa did a great job in getting them to us in time. We bought an Overland 60 ultralight + Expedition hood and a Wollemi 90 Ultralight Expedition Pack, hip belt pockets and stuff sacks. The walk was 11 nights/12 days.
We had a mix of weather and some reasonably heavy off-track scrub bashing traversing to the Gould Plateau. OK, so how did the packs go? In a word, Brilliant. We had ~20 kg in the Wollemi and ~17kg in the Overland. We found the packs to be comfortable, well thought out, easy to adjust and use, waterproof, and able to cope with serious scrub. I reckon the Wollemi is the most comfortable pack I have owned.

★★★★★Packs honestly awesome! After looking around for months at all different styles of dyneema ultralight packs from all the big brands I settled on this. Not only because I wanted to give an Aussie company a go, but also because I couldn't stand that most didn't have load lifters like this does. I just spent a couple of days at Cradle Mountain in 60+km/h winds with sideways rain and this didn't miss a beat. I had a pack liner with dry bags but still didn't get a drop anywhere on the inside of the bag. I've carried many packs over the years and this is honestly one of the most comfortable even with upto 18kgs in it. Couldn't recommend it any more for a quality product that is designed and manufactured in Australia! Good luck finding anything remotely close to this that wasn't made in Asia. Price is also well and truly competitive to the big brands considering the home grown manufacturing. Worth more than its priced in my eyes.

★★★★★Ultralight Ultra-good. I've used my Overland Ultralight 60 on a couple of missions now and absolutely love it. Safe to say it has exceeded my expectations in every aspect. Every aspect exudes quality, comfort and light weight.This is a ripper pack and so great to be Australian designed and made.

Excellent. This is a really well thought out and produced pack. It has the versatility to comfortably carry a heap of gear into a climb, but also be stripped back to a lighter pack which you could take on the climb.
