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.
