Seek Outside- No DCF?

[MTN BUM]

Anyone else notice that SO (at least right now) does not have DCF tents up for sale anymore? Not sure if this is a site glitch, or if they are not selling them right now? Was wanting to look at the Silex in DCF, but none of their DCF stuff is on the site. Huh.

Dyneema prices are going up a fair amount, they have had some internal issues, and lead times for fabric are closer to 6 months, plus they doubled what the minimum order should be. Frankly, it is almost like they don't want to really be in that business.

Right now, we are taking stock of how much fabric we have vs orders and seeing what we can build out of it .. to be the most efficient usage. The Dyneema Redcliff is on hold, as it is a fabric hog.

Thanks Kevin- BTW always nice to have a business who will just tell customers when something is going on.

Glad I got my DCF Redcliff order in earlier this spring. Hoping you guys ship it this week for my bear hunt. Fingers crossed

Thanks Kevin. Dyneema is way past patent expiration. Looking forward to new competing fabrics to reduce costs for all of us.

Thankfully I bought my DCF tent and tarp before the shortage. I feel for folks who have to deal with this shortage, both manufacturers and the consumer.

Thanks, I was wondering the same thing.

I find this interesting as I ordered a DCF Silex two weeks ago and justified making the purchase on the grounds that I expect inflation and figured I might as well pull some purchases forward. I'm still hoping I'm wrong over all, regardless I'm glad I bought while I could. Hopefully they have enough in stock to fill all current orders.

Glad I got my Dyneema Redcliff last year!
Love it!

I feel bad for supply chain managers right now. Things are exceptionally bad. Our team is getting hammered and as so much of the US is “opening back up” customers have become less understanding. It’s quite the challenge.

My Dyneema Redcliff is in the mail, can't wait!!!!

I just went through this with our staff. We certainly have enough for current orders and a couple people we promised one to but have not ordered yet. Past that, we will likely do it sort of like a 2nds sale and a hard inventory count for each item. Likely , just whatever gets us the most tents out of it.
Thanks

that's good news! i was hoping that was the case.

Super glad I got my Cimarron in that case. It is exceptional quality and a fantastic shelter.

Kevin,
Any updates on the current DCF availability? Just wondering if you guys intend to bring these lines back anytime soon. Specifically I would be interested in a Cimarron DCF.

They had some this summer (Cimarron ans Silex). Does not help you now, but worth checking every few weeks.

 

[Kevin_t]

Not yet. Possibly know more in a couple weeks.

Waiting on the same thing, actually wanting 2 cimmarons now. Wanted a redcliff too but looks like until material comes back that won’t happen.

I messaged them this week. They said prices are coming down on DCF and they are going to run a few batches of the Cimarron this year, but no plans for redcliff due to the sheer amount of material needed.
