Men's Silhouette
Reviewed by KL, Feb 05, 2007
"I bought this pack back in 1994. . . today is 2007 and unless someone steals it or it bursts into flame I will probably have this pack forever. I work for an outdoor outfitter and see all the new packs as they come out and I always tell people about my Osprey pack with so many straps its looks like it has dreds or something."

Reviewed by Scott, Sep 20, 2002
"This is a great pack. I've carried extremely heavy loads and it remains sturdy. It's held up very well over the years. I'll never own anything but an Osprey pack. Hopefully, I'll never need to replace this one. Why? The only additions I've made are a detachable pocket. The vector system allows excellent customization."

"I took this pack on a 30-day NOLS course and it performed flawlessly. I originally only bought one side pocket (the store clerk said it was plenty). . . but I regret not having two. I took the pack on a winter ascent of Mt. Whitney in Dec. , and had a little trouble fitting all the gear and cold weather clothing I needed."

Silhouette (1994)
Reviewed by Karl Rahder, Apr 27, 1999
"I worked for the Forest Service and Park Service for several years as a wilderness ranger and fire lookout (GS-4 to 7) and have carried and owned MANY packs (Kelty, Gregory, Dana, North Face). My Silhouette is a superb long-haul heavy duty load carrier."

"I bought this pack mail order (against the advice of review columnists) and when I took it out of the box I couldn't believe the number of straps this thing had. However after loading it up it became apparent why this pack has got the reputation of being a superb load controller."

"I borrowed this pack and a Dana Alpine and compared them over a weekend. I used 30 lb loads and went out for two miles at a time. Even though I was biased by the Dana reviews (undoubtedly well earned), I finally settled on the Osprey simply due to comfort."

Reviewed by an anonymous hiker, Oct 07, 1996
"The best pack I have ever had the priviledge of wearing. The Vector compression panel is outstanding, I once had to carry my friend's pack off a mountain. I just hooked it to the Vector and went. The combined weight was 117 lbs but I had no problems."
