Title: New Camo-KUIU
Post by: AlpineMuley on March 02, 2011, 03:57:20 PM: New Camo on the market named KUIU. It is equal to Sitka or better. There is no middle man and you can only buy it on line. www.kuiu.com (http://www.kuiu.com)

Post by: MtnMuley on March 03, 2011, 02:22:54 PM: Designed by the founder of Sitka, Jason is building the "ultimate" hunting clothes. With their prices comparable to Sitka and even cheaper on some lines, KUIU will be very busy for a very lime time, IMO.

Post by: matt345 on July 25, 2011, 09:15:40 PM: Has anyone ever tried this gear (Kuiu) on the Westside. I am wondering about the Camo pattern on the Westside of the state. Looks like it might be better for the East side???

I have a pair of Attack pants and love them. I will be replacing with Kuiu when stuff wears out.

Post by: Drifterat on July 25, 2011, 09:46:47 PM: At least it's made in North America, not China like Sitka is...
Title: Re: New Camo-KUIU
Post by: 3dvapor on July 25, 2011, 09:48:04 PM: I have some of the attack pants, coat, vest and shirts I'm happy with everything but the shirts are kind of itchy I like the feel of the sitka shirts a little better. The pants and coat is great ill probably by another pair of pants dries super quick feels better than cotton.

Post by: dreamingbig on August 02, 2011, 08:29:25 AM: I have both merino base layers, the beanie, the vest and the primaloft coat. A very nice layering system and I wore the base layer merino in the high country on my last scouting trip. The performance was great (hiking in temps in lower 70s). I haven't splurged on the outerwear. I have some riverswest rain gear (their lightest version) for the wet days. Works for now.

Post by: 280ackley on August 02, 2011, 07:42:59 PM: The base layers are going to my next purchase. Been reading a lot of good reviews about it.

Did you get the 185s or the 250s? Probably the 185s given the heat you were in but just curious. I'm thinking about those this year, too.
Title: Re: New Camo-KUIU
Post by: dreamingbig on August 06, 2011, 06:48:47 AM: I got one of each. I was wearing the 185 during the day and put the 250 on over the top that evening while sitting around the fire. The temps were in the high 30s and I was very toasty with just those two layers on.

Post by: halflife65 on August 07, 2011, 11:20:46 AM: Good idea - seems like a great way to layer and keep weight down.
