Killik gear
« on: January 06, 2017, 02:33:09 AM »
Ok, anyone bought the Killik line of hunting clothing from the only retailer that sells it....Sportsmans Warehouse?

Recently bought the following for my Montana deer hunt in nov:

Vital jacket
Pivotal pants
Half zip long sleeve
Warm weather moisture wicking long sleeve shirt
All in K1 cammo.

I absolutely love the gear. The pants are rugged, windoroof and highly water resistant. Did me well in late Nov in MT where weather was 35 and windy. Completly blocked the wind and when layered I stayed warm.

I would recommend this line.

Most expensive pieces they have are the DWR or water proof line and the pants/jacket are $160 each. Have worked well so far.

My hunting partner went with their ran gear this year. He likes it. His only complaint is that the pants are a bit long for someone short and stout. And they had to be tied up around the ankle when riding a bike while we hunted. But not much you can so when your 5'6" and not athletic build

Cool.
Do you feel like you've pretty rigorously field tested them?

Trial #2. Went on a back bear hunt in Manitoba, Canada at the end of Sep. Killik gear worked well had mornings and evenings in the high 30's low 40's with some wind. Gear kept me warm and blocked the wind.

So I bought my gear last fall. Stitching came loose im crotch of my DWR Vital pants. Got back feom my Montana trip, took pants into Sportsmans Warehouse (where I bought them) and they allowed me to exchange them for a new oair right there. I had options. Exchange, or refund....if I had reciept. Good customer service my SW.

New pair held up during my 8dy bear hunt in Canada. Montana again in two weeks.

Wow. That's pretty cool. I guess them being the place to buy them at makes it pretty obvious that the gear didn't come from any place else.
Went to SW last week and was looking at all this gear. Seems like quality gear. May have to pick some up.

Best $60.00 I have ever spent.  This is a piece of gear I started using two seasons and I will never not have them on or in my pack.

I'm happy to see all these positive reviews.
I just picked up a set and am looking forward to trying them out.

I have 2 pairs of there pants the vest and jacket. Between deer and Elk I wore mine every day for 20 days this year and I was very impressed. They kept me warm and dry with a good micro fleece base under the pants and micro fleece and a good fleece pull over under the jacket. My wife also has a set. They do run a little small so be sure to try them on.

The Killik web site directs you to Sportsmans Warehouse online site to purchase their gear.

Well went to Montana this last November and oh boy was I glad I had my Killik gear. Most days were in low to mid 30's. Most mornings were in tne 20's and one morning itvwas 12°. Long johns under the vital pants, merino wool base layer long sleeve shirt, best and jacket kept me warm. I wore there vital gloves too. The gear worked like a charm. Live Killik!

I was looking at Killik the other day, but it was an unknown so I held off.. I think this thread may have sold me on giving them a shot though.

That and my eyes are starting to blur from readings reviews, opinions and warranties.  :chuckle:

By the way, nice buck Mulie87!

Thanks BW. The only issue I have had were with the vital pants. The  stitching in the inner thigh and crotch came loose but no holes. I take them back to Sportsmens warehouse and exchange them no questions asked. I have a lot of their gear and that was the only issue I have had.

The way I see it, anything CAN fail. At least they stood behind their product. Thanks for the feedback. If I do end up picking up a set, I’ll post my own results after a few hunts.

I got a set of the soft shell pants and jacket in the big sky pattern, seems like the same material finish as my old Sitka 90% gear that was awesome but half the price! I’m impressed so far!

Also have shirt and the light weight pants.   I think the vital.  Also has stitching coming undone in the crotch.  Fixable though.   These are almost copies of my Sitka ascent pants.   I will buy more.   I probably have 40 days in the pants
