Title: KUIU Guide Pants/jacket..How waterproof are they?
Post by: krapmit on November 29, 2017, 01:32:28 PM: Do these products hold up against the rain like their ultra, chugach and yukon rain gear does? Is this product made for rain or more for snow?

I agree with this, my yukon pants are waterproof to a point.

My Yukon gear has been the most waterproof stuff I have ever used. The guide pants are in no way waterproof.

Totally agree, I like them too. I have also found some nice options for me at https://under-the-open-sky.com/best-hunting-pants-2017-reviews-and-top-picks/ Maybe you will like the pants from there as well. Hope you will find it helpful to you too

Post by: adamR on December 19, 2017, 09:31:22 AM: I only have the jacket but I absolutely love it! I do not like wearing rain gear because I get too hot. On opening day of late muzzie, it rained the entire freaking day and all I had on was my guide jacket. I was completely dry until about the last hour of the day and I had been walking through river bottom country all day, I should have been soaked. I wasn't upset when I did finally start to get a little damp because I had been in the rain for about 8 hours by then and what jacket wouldn't get a little damp by then... All in all, it's hands down the best purchase I've made!

I have been in rain with my guide jacket, but only short periods of time (hour or two, not heavy rain) and remained dry. I wouldn't spend all day in the rain.
