Description

“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 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.
