I've got the Frost Line. Nice comfy jacket and plenty of pocket space but I wouldn't want to be in too much continual rain with it, as its a soft shell type. That aside I rate it highly for it's intended purpose, cold frosty mornings on the valley floor or on the quad.

Thanks I'm just after one for over base layer and under raincoat but that can handle pushing through wet bush without soaking up liters of water

They both seem pretty bulky. My SC gear that ive owned has all been better made than the HE gear.

What about somthing like this https://shop.pointssouth.co.nz/colle...e-guide-jacket

Ive got a kuiu softshell and its bloody awesome as a winter hunting outer.

Thanks for that I'm after a year round jacket that you put on in the morning then Chuck in your pack as you warm up
Kuiu would be great but out of my price bracket.

Yeah they are spendy. Mine was when they did the cheaper line. Same material as the guide but no hood.

I do like the soft shells but only use it on fly ins or road hunts

Not to heavy but fairly bulky. Nice to have in the winter as they cut the wind like a rain coat but are quieter and breathe better. However kind of double up in my layering system so gets the chop if I'm carrying camp on my back

Nice! You'll be really happy. Very tough, durable and light weight.

The firstlite gear looks pretty good but I don't like the colour. Too brown for me so I lean towards Kuiu when not buying NZ products.

Ive been running the guide jacket for abit, Its real good for protecting the merinos. I love the guide pants man solid as. Only gripe I have with the jacket is the hood looks weird. Performs really well

I’ve got a kuiu guide jacket in a solid colour, but it’s to nice to mess up hunting with so I use it for everyday wear lol

Just looked at their web site ( first lite ) same issue I have with most US coats, too short need to have seperate leggings.
Big range of gear to go crazy on with a card though :pacman:

I have a bit of Kuiu gear now, and some I have had for a few years now and no complaints. I have only one pair of hunting pants, and they are the cheapest pair Kuiu do. So I have worn them on nearly every hunt over the past few years and they are still going strong! A tip is to shop in their outlet section and things are a lot cheaper.
