First Lite delayed?

[optimusprime]

I've heard rumor of the 2018 line of First Lite stuff being delayed until LATE summer. Any truth to this?

I talked with a rep the other day and he said mid June.

The new merino stuff will be delayed until August.

So pretty much all the good stuff won’t be available until just before early season...

Better than just after season...

True true

I just chatted with Paul at First Lite and he said that "90% of the inventory will be restocked in the next few weeks." He also said "Only Aerowool fabric printed in Fusion and Cipher is delayed so Wick, Fuse, Aerowool liner gloves, Aerowool neck gaiters. We'll have solids on hand here shortly!"

Kinda sucks, I wanted to try some of the wick merino wool on my elk hunt. I will most likely be packing in 08/31, would like to have my kit finalized well before then. Hopefully they will get everything in before August if not I guess I will be sticking with Kuiu.

Wonder if that means the preorders will be shipping soon.

The website now says everything will be available in July

We're halfway through 2018 with no inventory still. Might have to change the name of the new stuff to the 2019 line? I've been needing Fusion merino for months and there is nothing anywhere that's my size.

Haha me too. Maybe hey will do a run of post- orders

The company that used to take care of distribution to their dealer network was, well....horrible. If it's the same company doing the customer fulfillment going forward...I would expect this to not be the only bump in the road. Hopefully they are working with someone new.

Either way, I hope the stuff comes out soon, I'd like to get my hands on that new soft shell!!!

It sounds like preorders are going to ship on Monday.
