kuiu Verde or vias

[ROCKWHEELER]

Kuiu Verde or Vias which camo do you prefer. I would like to hear your thoughts on how either works for you, and what kind of area you use it in (sagebrush, alpine meadows or dark timber).  I will be getting all new gear after  late rifle and don't know which camo I want or if it really matters what I choose. I hunt every kind of area/terrain we have in WA. Also I have sitka timberline pants, the new cabelas glassing pants and matching coats for both.. I just want to try kuiu's gear.

I really like the verde pattern and am slowly switching my gear over to it

You should post the two patterns, so others can see the difference.

Verde over vias.  That vias "cookie dough" look just looks so dated camo to me.  Like verde for forest - mixed foliage, Sitka Optifade open country for sage.

Verde is my preference for Kuiu, although I've switched over to First Lite Realtree Max-1 for most of my gear this season.  Max-1 is below;

All my Kuiu gear is in verde pattern.... This pattern works well for me in all my hunting areas... From the eastside shrub steppe to the Westside OP jungles.

I really like both patterns but I've mostly bought the Vias, you can't go wrong with either.  It's all about your silhouette being broken up. Even the simple army BDU's work well in the woods, just get out there and hunt!!!

Verde for me but with that being said I am picking up a few pieces in Vias for my late season hunting.

I have the vias and i love it. Seems very versatile thus far.

All of you guys running the vias camo is the the tan on your camo look the same as the picture I posted? I have seen pics where it almost looks snow white.

It's lighter in person than it is in that picture. The only Kuiu stuff I have is in Vias. I don't think you could go wrong with either one in 90% of scenarios, as long as your silhouette is broken up. There's lots of guys killing critters in all sorts of camo patterns, including Levi's and flannel, especially if you're a rifle hunter with that blaze orange vest on.

Kuiu makes some nice solid colrs as well......

After watching sheep turn themselves inside out at long distance when seeing the Vias I have absolutely no use for the stuff at all.  That is the country that stuff was suppose to be made for.  So if it doesn't do much for you in that situation I wouldn't be too excited about using it in terrain it is not designed for.

On the other hand I think Kuiu did a very good job with the Verde.  Seems very versatile, has high contrast without looking like you are in the spot light dancing on a dark stage.  I actually think it is better than either of the Optifade patterns.

None are as good as Mothwing and other good large high contrast mimicry patterns IMO.  But of the pattern choices of Kuiu and Sitka...Verde is far and away the pattern to beat IMO.
