Title: kuiu clothing?
Post by: buckmaster303 on September 07, 2016, 01:59:34 AM: was wondering if anyone has purchased this at all and how it is quality wise? thinking about ordering me some new gear before I head out for elk camp and the end of the month and would like some thoughts on it. thank you!

Post by: Gutpile on September 07, 2016, 04:48:36 AM: The attack pants are awesome. I wore them on a 4 day hike with temps from high 60's down to low 20's. We had wind, rain and wet snow. They kept me warm and dry the whole time. When it was too warm the hip nets were great. I have the teton long sleeve t's and they are really nice too. I do prefer first lite merino to the kuiu though. It's not bad, it's just not as comfortable in my opinion.

For what it's worth keep an eye on rokslide.com. there is always kuiu, sitka and first lite gear for sale in the classifieds

Post by: trophyhunt on September 07, 2016, 05:51:21 AM: I also think the kuiu outerwear is great stuff, I also love the firstlite under pieces. You can't go wrong!

Post by: Dhoey07 on September 07, 2016, 07:14:57 AM: The guide pants and gaitors are worth their weight in gold. I just bought some Chugach raingear but they haven't been tested yet. The guide jacket is really nice as well. The only piece that I haven't been 100% happy with is the Teton soft shell jacket, it doesn't breathe well and doesn't have pit zips.

Post by: Gutpile on September 07, 2016, 12:14:47 PM: I'm not super impressed with my teton softshell either. It's just okay. I'll try the teton pants this weekend
Title: Re: kuiu clothing?
Post by: Houndhunter on September 07, 2016, 01:16:13 PM: Both the Chugach and Yukon gear is really solid stuff for rain gear, can't go wrong with either of those. If you like pockets on your pants get the Yukon

Post by: buckmaster303 on September 07, 2016, 04:41:02 PM: thank you guys for the input on it how do the pants run I usually wear a 33 waist but look like there sold out of 32s and only other option is 34? suggestions?
Title: Re: kuiu clothing?
Post by: Pathfinder101 on September 07, 2016, 04:54:24 PM: I have Kuiu Gaiters. Love 'em. IMHO their gear is every bit as good as Sitka, for a lot less $$. We met one of the owners of Kuiu in the airport on our way home from our caribou hunt in Alaska last month. Those guys really hunt. It's not a fashion company.
Title: Re: kuiu clothing?
Post by: Gutpile on September 07, 2016, 05:18:07 PM: The pants are just a little on the snug side. I'm a 32 and they are just a tad tight in the waist. Nothing bad or uncomfortable though and they do loosen up a bit when your wearing them.
Title: Re: kuiu clothing?
Post by: buckmaster303 on September 07, 2016, 05:27:54 PM: so maybe I should wait for the 32s to get re stocked dang it I was hoping to purchase before my muzzle season at the end of the month
Title: Re: kuiu clothing?
Post by: Gutpile on September 07, 2016, 05:41:06 PM: Go check out Rokslide.com there are always kuiu 32's up for sale in the classifieds :tup:
Title: Re: kuiu clothing?
Post by: carpsniperg2 on September 07, 2016, 05:44:09 PM: I like there pants a lot. I run the Teton and the alpines. There shirts are alright, I prefer first lite on my tops. I still have 6-7 of there shirts the plain and merino.
Title: Re: kuiu clothing?
Post by: buckmaster303 on September 07, 2016, 06:14:01 PM: how do you like Teton pants it don't like like to much diff then the attack but the attack are suppose to be better? I might just order the 34 and see if they fit since im a 33 anyway if there chart is accurate
Title: Re: kuiu clothing?
Post by: carpsniperg2 on September 07, 2016, 06:36:10 PM: They are great kinda like a no bells and whistles modle of my alpines. Never ran the attack so i dont have those to compare it to. For the money and early to mid season pants they are great.
Title: Re: kuiu clothing?
Post by: deerhunter_98520 on September 07, 2016, 06:36:15 PM: I love my Yukon.....I tested the pants this weekend and it was great!
Title: Re: kuiu clothing?
Post by: Gutpile on September 07, 2016, 06:43:21 PM: I have the Tetons but I haven't worn them in the field yet like I have the attack pants. The Tetons don't have hip vents and seem to be a little lighter fabric. I bought some for earlier season hunting I'll be wearing them this weekend chasing bears
Title: Re: kuiu clothing?
Post by: buckmaster303 on September 07, 2016, 07:12:35 PM: well I just pulled the trigger and ordered there gear I hope its here by the 28th of this month don't know how long it takes for them to ship. I like light gear consider I like to hike a lot of the back country and everything else I have tried I seem to sweat a lot in so hopefully this works out!

As long as it was IN stock it will be delivered 3-5 days. Every in stock piece I ordered, I got very fast.

I really like all my Kuiu gear. The tiburon stuff has been great for early season hot weather. The bino harness has been another favorite of mine.
Title: Re: kuiu clothing?
Post by: buckmaster303 on September 07, 2016, 08:21:37 PM: okay sweet it was all in stock that I ordered! getting way to excited for this season and ill probably have to order the bino holder as well
Title: Re: kuiu clothing?
Post by: carpsniperg2 on September 07, 2016, 08:25:27 PM: Like said they are pretty fast shipping stuff. I get most my stuff in 5-7 days.
Title: Re: kuiu clothing?
Post by: Pathfinder101 on September 08, 2016, 10:24:35 AM: I am noticing that most of the comments about stuff being so-so is in relation to their Teton series. Keep in mind this stuff is their cheapest "entry level" gear.

Title: Re: kuiu clothing?
Post by: baker5150 on September 08, 2016, 12:19:30 PM: Can someone give me input on the length of their pants?

I'm short, a 30" inseam, 32 will work. I wear a 32 to 33 waist so im looking at the 34" pants

They don't have the inseam lengths listed on their size chart.

im about like you. I usually wear a 32x32 size jeans. I ordered the attack pants in size 34 and they fit me almost perfect in the waist with a little help from a belt. They are also a touch long on me but not enough to worry about. They are awesome pants!

Post by: Dhoey07 on September 08, 2016, 12:59:54 PM: They seem to run a bit long for me.

I agree 100%. I try and steer everyone that asks to the guide line
Title: Re: kuiu clothing?
Post by: Gutpile on September 08, 2016, 01:42:06 PM: I'm 32×30 and they aren't long enough to be bothersome but they bunch a tad on my boots. I may have them taken up an inch or so
Title: Re: kuiu clothing?
Post by: buckmaster303 on September 08, 2016, 11:14:29 PM: I ordered the attacks so we will see herd a lot of great things

My pant size is 33x30. I buy the size 34 in Kuiu and then hem them, taking off a couple of inches.

Post by: buckmaster303 on September 13, 2016, 09:41:15 AM: Got my order today and let me tell you couldn't be happier don't ever see myself buying Sitka for that price this stuff is great and light weaight!

Post by: baker5150 on September 13, 2016, 12:14:14 PM: Fair warning, they are out of a lot of pant sizes in Verde.
Emailed them earlier this week, they aren't looking to get more in anytime soon.
Title: Re: kuiu clothing?
Post by: Gutpile on September 13, 2016, 12:25:53 PM: That's the main frustration with them. When it's in stock you need to order it right away. LOL

Post by: Mossy on September 13, 2016, 01:32:03 PM: I ordered some "in stock" attacks on Thursday and I still have nothing saying it has shipped

Last week I added a few items to my cart, got distracted, and went to check out later (couple hours) too late, out of stock. :bash:
Title: Re: kuiu clothing?
Post by: jtw on September 13, 2016, 03:11:09 PM: I have several pieces. I like their outerwear like the chugach, dont care for their base layers though. I much prefer first lite.

Light to moderate rain you'll be fine, downpour you'll be soaked. They're water resistant softshells not rain shells.
