Jetboil for 2011

July 21st, 2010 · 1 Comment

Jetboil is listening to it’s critics, and is expanding its line to offer several new stoves that will fill out niches left open in its current lineup.

The first new stove line is the SOL-AL and the SOL-TI which are going after those lightweight backpackers who have refused to carry the 14 oz of Flash, and 15 oz of the PCS (personal cooking system) despite the compact functionality of these units.

As indicated by their monikers, the SOL units come in Aluminum and Titanium, and weigh in at a diminutive 10.5oz and 9oz respectively. Jetboil is marketing these as true 4-season canister stoves, and tout their new “Thermo-Regulate™ Burner Technology” as being effective down to 15F. Sounds like they have a real winner with this unit.

MSRP for systems:

Sōl Ti – $149.95

Sol-Al – $119.95

The next line of units are called the ZIP-AL which brings to the market an simple inexpensive canister stove to those who do not need the bells and whistles of the Flash,  and want reduced weight from the PCS.  This essentials only Jetboil will be retailing at a reasonable $69.95, and will weigh in at 11.75oz

In addition to the stoves, Jetboil has a whole lineup of accessories, including a group cooking companion cup and a  canister recycling tool that further expand the functionality of their line. I am looking forward to getting my hands on these fantastic new offerings from Jetboil,  and am really excited to see the innovation that brought us the revolutionary PCS continue to evolve.

    I really hope the sol TI is everything it says it is. I am looking foward to having a compact, ultral light stove.It does’nt look like it is a wlole lot smaller than the original stove but I won’t know for sure until I see one in real life. So far So good though. Hurry up april!!!
