Voile T Wood Shovel
January 18, 2011
The difference is in the aluminum. The orange uses T6 aluminum which is the strongest aluminum and the yellow uses standard tempered aluminum.
From Voile's site:
T6 is the level of hardness reached in the aluminum heat-treating process for the Voile T6 model avalanche shovel scoop. Avalanche professionals, guides, patrollers, and rescue teams require this level durablity in their avalanche rescue shovel. All Voile T6 avalanche shovel scoops have deadman holes in the scoop to be used for snow anchors or for making a rescue sled.

Therm-a-Rest Prolite Plus Sleeping Pad
January 22, 2010
I prefer to have more comfort at night when sleeping than a little more (if that) comfort when carrying it. It is only 9oz different so for the minimalist that is a lot. I think you will want the larger one. I assume you have a large bag as well which means it will probably hang off a fair amount.

Jetboil Helios Guide Cooking System
January 22, 2010
seems like you would be ok using it over a small fire if you took off the neoprene sleeve but they are thin and I wouldn't recommend it. temps would be uneven and hard to control since they are so thin. I personally have used it on very small fires specific for cooking and it worked ok. Definitely worked better on the stove :)

Jetboil Classic Personal Cooking System

still not sure when BC will get them but I looked into it and the changes to the flash are pretty good ones.
*new neoprene sleeve tells you when its hot. depending on the color you will have an idea of the temperature
*lids are transparent so you can see what's inside
*tripod base now comes standard
*the control knob has been extended so you don't have to reach under the cup
*the burner is all new shape which according to the rep, burns more efficient and heats more evenly.
*The new shape also protects the ignitor much better
*ignitor is also much smaller - no more breaking it

DAKINE Mission Backpack - 1600cu in
September 17, 2009
It's a good size. I also have the Dakine Terminal 2100 cause I thought I wanted a bigger pack but then realized it was too big. I could fit a ton of stuff in the 2100 Cu In but never needed that much. So I bought this one as well. I like it a lot better as far as size goes. Much more practical. I put my 15" laptop in it, and that leaves me with 4-6 inches of depth to put books and stuff in.

Prolite Plus is killer. I have used it a bunch on top of snow and in 0 degree temps. I am pretty sure the Neo will not be a good option in snowy cold temps based on the R-Value (I think is 2.5).
Using it in conjunction with a z-lite is an option as stated previously but why add the extra bulk-unless space is not an issue. I have both and use the prolite in the winter/snow and Neo the rest of the year
