The -1601 is a nylon mesh (like panty hose) for winter use. Doesn't keep the crud out as well as the fleece so unless you're cutting in fine dry snow, It's not recommended.

A lot of guys with 200T's use a similar filter because its really easy to clean. Every time I take one off I see fine grit beneath the filter.
