I have the Overland 60, what the New Whippa is...
I don't find it a comfortable pack when I have more than 12kg in it.
The plastic buckle on the large pocket on the front of the pack (which I really like) has broken just from abrasion / leaning packs on rocks. Its an odd type that lends itself to breakage in my opinion.
The seams in the pack material are coming apart at the load lifter. I find the load lifter hard to operate, much like the chest strap.
My pack had some loose stitching on the lower shoulder harness from new that I had remedied locally.
Th Material is holding up well to on and off track use for 12 months. The non Ultra areas are wearing, but these materials all do on all my packs.
I really liked the hip belt pockets and the hip belt.
Though I no longer use this pack, it sits in the cupboard. I now have a Bonfus Maxus which I find to be a much more comfortable pack and has load lifters that really work well.
