Chugach or Yukon? Which kuiu jacket to buy?

[Rb1]

I have the chugagh jacket, and my partner has the full yukon set. He often wears them all day. He wears them instead of his attacks, not over them. After a season, we both kinda think that the best route might be yukon pants and chugach jacket, with the cheap teton pants for the backpacking trips.  I'll just be sticking with the chugach jacket and I'll throw the tetons over my pants when needed. Ofcourse I still gotta buy the tetons. They're like 8oz. So no bushwacking in them!

I might also add. After some friends got into a little trouble last year on the high hunt. Storm came in, they got a little lost. Didn't make it back to camp til the middle of the night. Got a little frostbitten. I decided I wanted a kit I would always carry in my pack.  I already owned a superdown, then I sold my heavy helly hansen for the chugach. And the teton pants are next. Gonna always carry them, even if I think i don't need to. With the yukons, I might leave them at camp when not needed. Maybe I'm just figuring out what most of you already know. The weather man don't always know!

Have both. Pack chugach for packable rain gear.   Use yukon for brush pants in rain otherwise chugach.

Generally firstlite base layer, chugach outer layer - whatever in between layer - kuiu superdown backup insulating layer.

I have been using Yukon set up for two seasons. worth every penny.

I have both. The chugach gets more use just because it's always in the pack. I like them both.

If you want to get hands on them to see which you like better I can meet up with you and you can check them out.

I spent a good month in the chugach jacket, if there was things I didn't like about it I can't remember them atm....very nice jacket

No doubt I would go with the Yukons for the bottoms tho

thanks for the offer Joe, tried some on already and decided on the Yukon.  Love all the reports on it.

The number is the weight of the material. Weight per area. g/m^2 is grams per meter squared I believe. which is why one jacket is heavier than the other.
