"Slim design, good quality of material. Comfortable if not overloaded.

I am a bit unhappy for the compression system which is not very effective, as the compression straps are a bit out of ratio."

Excellent pack for winter mountaineering. Has what you need, and nothing you don't. I appreciate the way the "head cup", too.

A few nits (don't be discouraged): 1) I like daisy chains on the outside of every pack, and this one doesn't have them; 2) a little expensive; 3) wouldn't mind the top pocket being slightly roomier; 4) side straps are arranged in a way that does not allow for generic (eg, EMS) side pockets to be attached; 5) attachment mechanism for Osprey accessory pockets (eg crampon pouch) could be a lot smoother and more obvious.

"I love my Ceres 50. It moulds to my back and there are no superfluous gadgets: the approach is minimalist. Of course, you must not be bothered by sweat accumulating between your super efficient fast wicking clothing and the pack, but then again, climbing is not having a drink with the boys at the club."
