All in Verde (I think. I have both Vias and Verde in my shopping cart)
Attack Pant
Guide DCS Jacket
Ultra Merino 125 SS Crew-T
Peloton 200 Zip-T
I think this would be a good start on switching over and I can add to it later.

Add a puffy and rain gear
Post by: Wolfdog2314 on September 05, 2018, 07:28:50 PM
Of it. From the merino thru the peloton line. I wear the chugach rain gear and Love it also!
I will I say wear the alpine pant more than the attack. If I need waterproof or warmth beyond that I wear merino or chugach.
I do like the lightest weight peloton for next to skin layers. Then the peloton beyond that. The heaviest merino layer is real nice too!

Guide DCS Jacket and pants
Chugach rain gear set
Kenai hooded jacket
145 base layer tops and bottoms
200 peloton hoodie
Alpine pants
Socks
Belt, hat and gloves(liner, tiberon and guide)
Here is what I added:
210 base layer bottoms
210 hoodie
Kenai pants
Guide vest
Yukon gloves
I sold:
Guide dcs jacket and pants
Alpine pants are now the pro pants. Haven’t tried those. The alpines are awesome. The attacks are awesome, just don’t own a pair but a buddy does.
Guide jacket and pants were too warm for me for general use.
The peloton and merino are both great.
Typically I run merino base layers, the 210 top, alpine pants and if brisk the vest.
In Illinois I ran the 210 base layers, kenai set and the rain gear. I was warm and happy with 34 degrees and raining.
For early season you should be happy with what your looking at, the jacket has vents but does not breathe well otherwise.

Griz, don’t suppose you’re in public service? LEO, firefighter, local/state/federal government?I’m active with Chelan County Volunteer Search and Rescue but I don’t think KUIU has any discount setup for SAR. It would be nice especially now that they also carry solid colors. I would be buying their gear for SAR.

I have both the attack and pro pants. I like the pro pants better. If you can afford get a pair of each. I should probably sell a pair of my attack pants because I think I have 3 pair and a pair of the pro pants.I do like the pro pant. they are out of stock right now but they are on my list. Thank you

Is KUIU better than Sitka? I know Jason was involved with Sitka and then split off to do KUIU. I'm looking for a new gear set up for this upcoming MF Elk season. Does KUIU offer a military discount? Currently deployed overseas and have been doing lots of research on new gear, just never considered KUIU. Any help is appreciated.Have a chat with Wapatitalk1. He'll get you set up.

Both are top quality gear. I like KUIU better but that is a personal preference. As far as military discount you get 10%. All you have to do is scan and email your DD214 or maybe just your active duty military ID. I did it a few months ago and it was pretty quick.

Cold gear base layers I go with other more affordable stuff for late seasons.
On a side note, i usually wear an XL. And the rain jacket and pants were a lot larger than expected unlike the rest of the XL sized stuff i got. Had to downsize to large. This was with layering undernearh including guide jacket in XL. This is in verde 1.0, not sure if anything changed in later manufactured stuff.

The only Kuiu I have that doesnt get used much is the Guide Jacket. Just doesn’t seem to breathe that well and leads to cool but clammy feeling . For me those softshells are more for camp but they are popular with the Northface crowd so maybe its just me.
I like my Guide jacket when I know I'm in for a long cold glassing session, that's about it.
If it were wind proof I'd probably use it more.
