The Vector helmet is hard to get excited about when the Meteor III already weighs less. I'm excited about the Scarpa boots though. Mountaineering boots seem to be shedding weight constantly, which is nice.

Damn, that gel seems interesting, maybe for an emergency.
Most psyched for the ice screw sharpener though! Keep 'em crispy!

I'm excited there are finally some climbing helmets that look good. The BD vector and vapor along with the Mammut EL Capitan.
