ASAT question
 

What's up with most everything they have being out of stock? Not a cut on the company at all. Don't mean it that way. I'm just in the market for some everyday camo.....and I need BDU style pants and a good cotton shirt.

Anything else available from another comapny that's comparable? I just want some good, rugged, everyday camo in an open pattern. No wolfskin needed. Temps here don't dictate I need that until much later in the year.

I ordered Predator early season lightweight gear. they've sent me the wrong size pants TWICE, now. I don't have a lot of faith in them, either, right now....lol. I have ordered from Predator, direct. So....if someone knows a distributor that can check tags before they send them out.....and has a suggestion....I'm all ears.

Thanks, guys.

RE: ASAT question
 

From what I understand from Scott, the sewers that ASAT was using weren't meeting the quality standards, so they dumped 'em.....They found a new sewer and are currently playing catch up....He could tell you better than I however....

RE: ASAT question
 

I read over on AT that they are waiting for a shipment to come from China.

Dont know how true that is tho, we all know what message boards are like:D

RE: ASAT question
 

That's what I understand, too, Mobo. I just don't see too many options available to me for the short term. Pretty crazy, huh? I tried to do this right......and ordered some stuff from Predator and ASAT, early (or so I thought). To date.....I haven't worn, either.

No cut on ASAT, at all. Things happen. Just need some stuff for everyday use RIGHT NOW.

RE: ASAT question
 

No doubt some of that is true. The owner himself admitted to me they use sewers or fabric or something overseas.

I'm not nocking the camo, love the camo. ASAT made in the good ole USA is hard to come by. If they ever change owners, I'll be making a major order.

RE: ASAT question
 

RealTree AP might be your best quickest option.

RE: ASAT question
 

Oddly enough Germ, that's what we discussed via Pm.;)

RE: ASAT question
 

You could get some of the mil-spec digital camo. It's cheap, effective and a lot of places carry it. Just a thought.

RE: ASAT question
 

I ordered some Predator from Cabelas a few weeks ago, it was even on sale. I got in in a few days. I believe it was their Silent Weave stuff. Don't remember the exact price, but it was a good deal.

And it was the right size too.:)

RE: ASAT question
 

Unfortunately most companies have to manufacture overseas in order to be competetively priced nowdays if they want to survive. Most people I know seemed to try and buy stuff made in the US years ago, now people just want bargains and dont really care about where the label was made anymore. Sad isnt it.

RE: ASAT question
 

Jeff,

Even though you received the wrong size, what did you think of that garment? Did it have any sheen to it? Did it look breathable? Anything else?

Oh. I'm still waiting on a Lone Wolf strap from you, too! [8D]

RE: ASAT question
 

Lone wolf strap??? Heck....if it's free it'll get there when I get around to it!....lol (Honestly....it's with my hang on stuff....and I haven't set the other 2. I WILL send it to you, though);)

The garments are OK, I guess. The pants and shirt actually DO look like they shine a little....but they haven't been washed (and won't be.....I'm sending them back....AGAIN). The pants SAY XL on the tag.....but there's a tag as plain as day that reads MEDIUM on the inside of the pants. I explained this to them.....but they keep sending the same pair of pants back to me. Brilliance, huh?[&:]

RE: ASAT question
 

Actually the company they were using at the time was foreclosed upon.

If they (ASAT) wants your guys buisness they have some catching up to do. It is what it is...... Two weeks from nearly everyones season opener (with many states already hunting) and no gear.... I can only sell what they have........ fortunately my livelyhood isn't effected at all when they run out of stock on gear,I bettheirs is. [/align]

RE: ASAT question
 

PS when I ordered it, the garment looked great in the pictures!! When they told me it's on back order til January 12th I coulda cared less!!!!

Order Cancelled!!!

RE: ASAT question
 

Yeah, yeah, yeah... I've been hearing that for... what? A year now? [8D]

:D

RE: ASAT question
 

Same as John,

I ordered the Cabela's silent weave in fall grey. Like you, I don't need something really
heavy for most of the season. They seem well made, the fit is good, and they were on sale
at the time. I would check if they have any left.

RE: ASAT question
 

Dang, Greg. I'll get right on sending you your FREE strap as soon as I get back to NC. I'm in Richmond, VA for a couple of days.

RE: ASAT question
 

ASAT seems to be ran like a mom and pop company. Seems they are always backordered on everything. I know a dealer who ordered8 t-shirts and after 4 months waiting cancelled the order. The colors dont match-up in the garments especially the tan colors. And the sewing company that does the 3D suits is all done here in the USA. First company went bankrupt that was sewing them, then they got a company in Tennessee to do them and apparently something went wrong there. Now the Sitka stuff took about a month more than they said to get here and now most all of it is backordered and they said they didnt get as much shipped in as they were supposed to. They certainly have some issues and at this pace they probably wont be in business very long. Their best solutin would be to just sell there patterns to other garment companies and stop trying to make their own stuff bc their quality control and in-stock merchandise sucks! That is jmo! The stuff looks good but if ya cant get it it doesnt matter. I am sure Realtree has everything in stock in AP design! Oh well!

RE: ASAT question
 

Has there been any others here that have had issues with ASAT?

RE: ASAT question
 

Is every dealer of ASAT having this backlog issue?

I went through Gary at DayOne a few months back for my ASAT and besides the pants having to be custom made, my parka arrived within a week or so. Both are in fleece. Not sure if he may have more stuff in stock or what but thought it might be another option.

RE: ASAT question
 

I looked for days for a 3D leafy ASAT suit and finally found one set of XL at RockyMountainArchery...you might want to check them. They got it to me fast and when I received my headnet, the strap was broken, they contacted ASAT and I received a new headnet within a few days.
