Is Kryptek going under?

I started buying Kryptek stuff several years ago, mainly because I'm a vet, and I liked the idea of a vet owned company. There were several pieces that have been pretty good to me; merino base layers, Koldo rain gear, Valhalla pants, Vellus Fleece.. I noticed a couple years ago, the local stores Sportsmans Warehouse and Jax began carrying it. However, I noticed this year that its been pulled from both stores. Anyone have the inside scoop? Is Kryptek hurting from a retail standpoint? Seems like they are doubling down on the Altitude line, and selling the rights to their patterns alot more, but I dont seem to hear much chatter about them like I did a few years ago?

I've seen Kryptek at SW here recently. They did pull out of Cabela's a few years ago though. To me, it seems they are more about selling their camo pattern to other brands and letting them produce the clothing. There is a fishing company that makes clothing in several Kryptek patterns (can't remember their name off hand) and I've seen a few companies making hunting clothing in Kryptek patterns.

Kryptek has always been about collecting royalties from others but I have a feeling online sales are better then retail, especially when they have a sale.

Academy Sports here in TX just started selling it last year. The wall cleared out pretty quick. I loved actually being able to try stuff on and check it out in person.

Scheels is about the only place in Colorado I know that has it.

They were on Eastman's Elevated Podcast in Aug: episode 53
Sounded like they were doing fine and coming out with some more stuff for next year.
