Whippa Wollemi 90 Ultralight Expedition Pack

The Australian-made Whippa Wollemi 90 Ultralight Expedition Pack is a large yet lightweight backpack built from modern materials for demanding journeys. It is designed for treks and expeditions where gear volume is high and conditions are challenging. The Wollemi 90 is an excellent choice for long wilderness routes and packrafting trips where reliability and weather protection are essential.

Ultralight construction does not come at the expense of load carrying performance. The Wollemi 90 is engineered to handle loads of up to 30 kg. Its expedition-level carrying capacity is based on a wide, generously padded hip belt, hip belt stabilizers that prevent unwanted sway, and an improved frame and back padding. Load lifters efficiently transfer weight from the shoulders to the hips, while four side compression straps help keep the pack stable and compact in variable terrain. The pack’s center of gravity is designed to sit close to the wearer’s back for improved balance and control.

All primary materials are waterproof and all seams are taped, helping to protect your equipment from rain, splashes, and prolonged moisture exposure. A removable Expedition Hood accessory is available, adding an extra 10 liters of capacity when additional space is needed.

The latest version of the Wollemi 90 has been refined based on extensive user feedback. Updates focus on usability, carrying comfort, and long-term durability without increasing weight. Lighter yet extremely strong webbing has been introduced, and the updated side profile helps the pack stand upright during packing while distributing the load more evenly across the back. Side pockets have been reinforced, the front pocket is better shaped for secure closure, and the buckles have been upgraded to Z-buckles that remain easy to operate even with gloves on.

How to Measure Back Length:

1. Locate the top of your hipbone (pelvic crest) on the side of your body. (Note: the pelvic crest slopes down at the front – but we are interested in the location of the highest point of your pelvis).
2. Approximate the top of your hipbone in your lumbar region, on your spine. Wrap the tape measure horizontally from the top of your hipbone to the spine to confirm this position if required. Make a note of this location.
3. Locate your C7 vertebrae. This is the highest bony protrusion on the back of your neck and is roughly in line with where your trapezius meets your neck. Make a note of this location.
4. Measure the length between your C7 vertebrae and the location you found on your lumbar spine in step 2.
