No problemo.

Damn, I really want to try these, but I need them before nov 20th. That seems more like mid fall instead of "late fall". Does anybody have any inside information with more exact dates?

I can't believe I miss this one. Great review.

We should have the gloves back in towards the end of October/ Early November.

That's the intel we have for now.

Gents- Thanks for your interest in the gloves. We are anticipating their arrival sometime mid-December, just before Christmas. Once we confirm the production run as having started, we will open up this item to pre-order at the original price of $34.95 (likely mid-Nov), but this next batch will likely run a little bit more in price (but still under $40) once they are available for regular orders. We have engaged a new company with a new factory to get these made, and this next run will have some improvements that will address the fraying that the OP experienced with his pair. At the end of the day, we ask everyone to understand that a glove designed for max dexterity by dramatically increasing the number of pieces in the design for a second-skin fit, and reducing the thickness of the material for max sensitivity, will by definition NOT outlast your average work gloves. These are 100% a consumable item and should be treated as such and replaced as needed. What you will gain is what feels like a ten-fold increase in dexterity- basically the ability to mimic your bare-hand shooting dexterity- while maintaining gloved protection. For those of you who know what the FAST pistol drill is, coin #08 was claimed while wearing these gloves. These gloves were designed from the ground up by a Rogers "Advanced" shooter, for shooters, and we hope you find them as useful as we do. Thanks again!!!

Excellent. Given the tremendous CS of SKD I am on pair #3 or 4 given some issues and I am still wearing the crap out of them despite the fraying. Can't wait to get a new pair.

The other comments are normal, I usually buy Mechanix gloves 3 pair at a time, use them abuse them, and dispose as needed.
