Avenger Hurricane
I came to know that the Avenger Hurricane is discontinued , any idea why? Is the decision due to issues with Breightlight?

I’m not aware of any issues with the Breitlight material and my Colt Skyracer has held up just fine. I’m pretty sure most ADs still have them in stock so it shouldn’t be hard to find.

I'm not sure if Kern is a fan of the Breitlight material. I've heard rumors he thought the watches looked cheap but I can't confirm that.

I think the Hurricane was a great design, but the Colt Skyracer was like a G Shock. I can see why he wanted to get away from that type of material, it cheapened the brand. I think it would have been wiser if they marketed it in the Professional / Military line, especially with the canvas. I think it would have done far better
