Sitka or Kuiu??
Bean Counter:
Their advertisements in the Huntin' Fool usually show them on a dall sheep hunt in Alaska. I suppose I'll look them up in a few decades( retirement) if I'm still fit enough for such an excursion.

Shouldn't you be out hunting Coues whitetails? :)

I'm glad you started this thread, Sagewalker. I am trying to decide on a parka that is waterproof, windproof, breathable and won't entirely break the bank. Another brand I have been looking at is First Lite. Their jacket will run you $300 in the camo patterns but I don't know anyone who owns their stuff. Kryptek, Sitka, Kuiu...
Any other thoughts or additional manufacturers that I should be checking out?

I had pretty good luck with Sitka stuff until I bought there gore Tex shell rain gear which by the way wasn't cheap, it keeps water out about as well as a pair of sweats :rolleyes: multiple buddies had the same result. I also had bad luck with the 90% stuff being pulled apart in the sticker bushes. I have ordered a few things from kuiu now and so far it has been great, haven't used there whole line tho-

Both Sitka and KUIU make things that are better than one another. There's not a "which is better" in my opinion. :twocents:
