I've heard these are being discontinued? Any one have any information about this?

Thanks!

Not sure. I know the Seattle O-Store had released some at the store (wasn't in the store previously) during this past month.

Thanks for the info. oogie. I'd like to get a pair of them for Spring but I'm having a hard time finding them now.

Does anyone know if they are being replaced?

Anyone have a Factory Pilot Glove (Mint) in Large they'd like to trade for a Mint XL ? I got these and they're a little big on me. I like my gloves tight. PM me if you have a pair you can trade. Any color besides tan is fine.

They were renamed, I am pretty sure, they are now the Assault glove. I know you can purchase them from the US Standard Issue website if you are in the military or a police force, but I think that they are not available for sale to the general public.

They are great gloves, I am a police officer and I wear them when I am on duty. They protect your hands and knuckels great and they look damn good when I am sporting my Matte Black Crosshairs.

From what I have heard they are still called the Factory Pilot Glove and will be available in Spring 08. They are listed in an Oakley Spring 08/Outdoor Catalog along with 4 other MTB gloves that range from $20-$70.

I hope they do come back out, when they were officially discontinued this past year there were lots of people upset by it as well as the lame replacement. I used them for MTB racing and track bike racing and they are second to none for either of those events in my eyes.
Heres to the 08 return of the best glove ever!!
