What would you Kuiu?
« on: May 26, 2016, 10:46:32 PM »
So I'm looking to invest in some Kuiu. I have been using core4element however, they are no longer in buisness. I plan on purchasing some Kuiu for my Utah archery deer hunt. If you had 300 bucks what setup would you get? I find the older I get the more difficult it is to spend money...

I really like the attack pant. Some of the most comfortable pants I've worn. They're great for early season archery. Haven't tried any of the other pants. Their merino stuff is also nice.

I was looking at attack or alpine because those have knee pads.

4 garments I really like -

1) superdown jacket - weighs like 2 ounces and fits in a sandwich bag.  great insulation layer or backup.  I have the zip-t once but would like the full-zip.

2) chugach rain gear.  The Standard.

3) Teton puffy.  Like $100 on sale.  Wear it for every day.   

4) Gaiters

Have the guide jacket, pants.  Not really sure about those yet.  If its dry any pant works and if its wet you need chugach and wool unders.

Unfortunately, $300 won't go very far with Kuiu gear, but ditto on the Attack pants.  Love them.  However, they don't do real well if you are around sticker bushes.  One item I just bought is the Ultra Merino 145 Zip-Off Bottoms.  Being able to quickly take them off or put them on without taking off your boots is genius.

Entire Teton kit is $600....

If I had to choose early season hunting top and bottom... Tiburon top and attach pant with knee pads... Together will be about $230.

For $300 and versatility go with the Alpine pants, (they are awesome, I have two pairs and the knee pads are very well thought out) and look at a Peloton 200 Hooded quarter zip or the 240 full zip.  If you have Core 4 stuff, keep using those base layers.  Those two combined and you should have a few bucks left over.

I would go with the chinooks. They are more but there are more pockets and pads are under the fabric.

...and here comes the kuiu crybabies, just like they do to every thread about kuiu.

I'm sorry you weren't satisfied with your experience, but enough already.  You are in the vast minority.

The vast minority of people who ordered items that were not in stock? I don't think so. It's very common.  I've never ordered anything from them because of their lack of inventory. Every time I've tried, they didn't have have what I wanted so I gave up. About 90% of my clothing is Sitka gear.
