Barry et al,

The difficulty with the Backpacker Magazine Gear Guide submission process is that the list of products is due--the list is locked--on September 15th. Every company has a different product development cycle and calendar but in our case that's really, really early to be able to lock down plans for the following year. We do the best we can to provide accurate information and projections but some things are just too fluid to pin down new products along with production schedules for existing products. Yes, you'll see a new solo shelter from us this year but it's not on the site yet and wont be for several months.
