1986 – WHOLESALE: Osprey adds partners Gabriela Salinas and Diane Wren and begins selling packs wholesale.
The first “Silhouette” introduced in 1986. “This was one of our first wholesale offerings,” Pfotenhauer said. This bag had removable compression-strap pockets; dual stays that embedded into the removable hip-belt; “Speed-dee” (three bar slider through D-ring) mounted quick-release front pocket, and a top pocket that converted to a fanny pack.
