The Sitka is more expensive, louder, and less durable.

I have some chugach now and so far so good, love the stretch it has and its packability. I had a member on here tell me they don't think its light enough for true backpacking rain gear... I certainly wouldn't want it any lighter.

Post by: Smossy on September 26, 2015, 11:01:11 AM: Glad to find this thread, Im thinking of making the switch from Kings camo over to Kuiu. Just picked up two brand new Kuiu 6000-3000 packs with frames and bow holder off another member for a great price. I almost like the 3000 better then my kifaru dt3 for light weight. Gonna start picking up some more gear and with only being a western wa hunter, rain gear is a must.
