Just back from my local Cabelas. Went over there to try on 2013 Kryptek and here is what they had on the shelves (all in highlander) -

1. Kryptek Koldo Rain Jacket (bought this)
2. Kryptek Koldo Pants
2. Aegis Extreme Bibs
3. A single pair of Valhallas (didnt fit)

I was particularly looking for a Cerdic II hoodie, Poseidian pants, Valhalla or Gen II Alios pants that fit, and the Koldo jacket that I purchased. I was 1 for 4. Not good. So then I come home to search the interwebs and find that sportsman's warehouse is sold out of all of the above items. From what I am reading here on rokslide Cabelas isn't shipping either but they will gladly take your order and money of course. On top of this Krypteks website still lists all of these items as pre-order when they are already on shelves. (at least in theory)

So if a man wants these items delivered muy pronto what is he to do? Any ideas?

There's a flood of pre ordered gear that goes out before the shelves are filled.

My gear was 10 days from the time I ordered to the house.

The stores should be filling up around the 16th.

Thats what cabelas customer service just told me over the phone. However they dont have an item code for the Cerdic II yet. I suppose if I order directly from Kryptek that they will be shipped out just as fast as if I order from Cabelas (on or about the 16th) or am I wrong?

The cerdic should ship from the Kryptek store as soon as you order.

I called kryptek on friday, they said the alaios pants likely won't be in and shipping until Aug 26. I also inquired about koldo jacket and poseidon pants and they were both in stock.

I just stopped by the Tulalip Cabela's looking to check out the Kryptek gear and they had no Kryptek on the racks. I was told that the stuff did not sell well last season. I was bummed.

I was notified by Cabela's at 2:33 this morning that my Koldo pants and Kratos vest have shipped.:) But my Koldo and Borealis jackets are still back ordered.:(

That sucks that some of you are having issues. My Cabela's has a bunch of Koldo stuff on the racks.

The order from Kryptek I placed 3 days ago shipped except for the Alios pant which is back ordered at the moment. As Aron pointed out I would expect they will ship around the end of this month. Definitely too much demand and not enough supply though. They should pay Aron to NOT make videos until they get caught up :p

Poseidon pants and Cerdic hoodie arrived Friday. First impressions is that the Cerdic hoodie fit a little tighter than I expected but for a mid layer it'll work fine. Really like the Poseidon pants. The koldo has a sheen to it that is kind of shiny. Poseidon doesn't. Can't wait for my alios pants and my gen 2 hanging meat bag from kifaru, all that's left are trekking poles and my 2013 purchases will be finished.
