Thread: Kuiu ‘Biggest sale of the year’ on now.

Just an FYI

Kuiu have a sale on and there are decent savings on most things.

Right you Kuiu decorated brand bashers with too much money, what do you recommend in their range? Is it superior gear to our local designed in nz made in China brands?

I've got a bit of their gear and like it for light weight and warmth. After looking at skre gear from rugged ram outdoors at the sika show I'm going to try that. NZ company but make in USA quality looks good and jackets are longer in the body. Kuiu is a bit short in the body as they wear matching pants. Price is better than kuiu and nz freight. On special atm up to 30%off.

Looks to be an American company to me?

I go for branded stuff too.

American company. Made in China. I wouldn't get hung up on the made in China thing these days though they can make shit as good as anywhere just depends what the company doing the ordering want and how they police the quality. The worst stuff is the companies that offer warranties but just throw away any warranty claims and give you a whole new item.. cough couch vortex..

For the most part I believe it’s definitely better. Every item is subjective though to the individual. I have a fair bit and really like it but some items I either didnt or go with something else. I wouldn’t buy the merino base layer stuff again, fragile as hell and not that good imo. Use macpac instead for cheaper. I don’t use the rainwear, mainly because it’s expensive as hell and I don’t like short jackets (kiwi thing). I have two packs, they are damn expensive but bloody good. I have a few mid layers, all good. Friggin love the attack pants. Best pants i’ve ever had. Also have the kutana pants, very nice too. Yukon gaiters have been very good but the kutana gaiters are too light and get damaged too easily. Love the bino harness. I had an axis jacket, it was very nice but I personally didn’t like the athletic fit and how I couldn’t comfortably wear a puffer an all my layers under it. For an active outer shell it was very good though. I like the expedition gloves.

Kuiu clothes are made in Vietnam. The mid layers, attack pants and soft shell jackets are good.

Merino base layers, rain wear and puffers are too pricey compared to quality alternatives

I brought abit of there stuff and most is pretty dam good but I brought a Wear on Earth puffer instead of a Kuiu in fact I brought 2 one full on winter one and another lighter weight with smaller baffles bloody good and cheap.
Also just got a Earth Sea Sky rain coat another kiwi made dam good product.
Kuiu peleton mid layers are great and I just got a Rubicon jacket also very good.
There pack are top notch as well and everything has a great warranty

I got the super down puffer too, expensive but it’s great. Oh and the mountain star tent which is bloody awesome.

I do like the look of that mountain star!

Tent is good, pack is good but can be frustrating if you aren’t used to straps, I love the merinos so differ from the above, kennai jacket I like, attack pants are good, had a chugach rain jacket, currently have a Sitka, might get another Kuiu one

Yeh good discounts on the tents.

Are these Kuiu knock offs or the real deal?
