I think dufferin ordered back when the wait was longer, now it's about 8 weeks or less. But yeah you're not going to get the glove this month if that's what you're looking for.

Yeah but its not necessarily fair for someone who has already been waiting 10 weeks for pads and a glove to be pushed back by you who suddenly is just placing an order for a glove. You gotta wait in line just like everybody else regardless of whether it's just a glove or not.

I mean the glove closes a bit like the 590 (RBK) but you got the balance and the lightness (even lighter) the Vaughn gloves have.

Imagine the Koho 590, lighter and no bulkiness at all.

Well, I ordered back in Nov. 13, and they're finally ready (ahead of the 14 week wait time, mind you). The 4000 with the following colours: black weave, silver weave and white jenpro. Looks better than I imagined! Mods are: extra 1" on the pocket, larger sized blocker palm, and leather on the back of the catcher, instead of the usual nylon. One more mod, but I'll let the eagle-eyed out there try to find what I had changed (it's a cosmetic mod). Chakal will probably see it a mile away Can't wait to try these puppies out!!! Next order will be for a set of matching pads!

If you are referring to Helcruzer's gloves, that is the 4000 graphic.

i mean the blocker

Do you have pics of the backsides of your gloves? I want to see the non-nylon look on the snag and the bigger palm and side wall on the blocker too!

You asked for a mirror 4000 graphic! The curve is usually on the other side on the 4000.

A round of applause for Chakal! I asked Pete to mirror the graphic, as I thought it would look better flaring out, rather than in. This way, it would resemble the 580 graphic, of which I'm a fan of. Refer to the .jpg that I sent to Pete below:

The pic of my gloves that I posted is the only one I have so far, as it's the one Pete himself sent to me. If you have to see the "leather on the back" mod, check out Mitdan's post on pg.17 of this thread. That's who I got the idea from. Looks good, and is probably more resistant to abuse/dirt too.

Has anyone posted a trapper comparison pic(48" - 45") as in the Vortek thread?
