    Kuiu clothing sizing

    Have been looking at the Kuiu site today and theres a few items I think I might get from them. Im interested in how their sizings are? Taking Sitka as an example I am a 34 in their pants, and a Medium in their jackets, but go to large for mid layer tops as I hate mid layers being too clingy. Are their sizings reasonably the same? I see the Kuiu Jackets are only offered from medium up, I don't want to order a medium and then find its what would be considered small. Any advice appreciated, cheers.

    I have a 2xl Merino top from them and its definitely not loose on me I prefer to believe the sizing is on the small side as opposed to the more likely alternative!!

    Having said that I should have brought more its good

    If you are located in the North Island I suggest waiting a couple of months until the Sika Show. Highly likely the NZ Kuiu rep (Shaun) will have a large display of items which you can try for size. You wont be able to actually purchase on the day, but will be able to order. Kuiu offered a sale for the weekend last year, so they may do similar this year. I will be checking out a few more items to add to my collection...

    @Ryan_Songhurst I can help you with any KUIU related questions. Thanks to the people above for sharing their knowledge too. @Nesika is correct we will be at Sika show again this year with selection of KUIU gear and for people to get their sizing correct. @199p is right with the sizing chart online been detailed and makes it easier for ordering online when unsure of sizes. Sizes would be very close to Sitka sizes, as both brands are designed for an "athletic" fit. I hope that helps. If you have any questions feel free to send me a private message as always happy to help. Cheers, Shaun

    Im 5' 11" and 80 KG and I went Medium for base and large for jacket. I would fit a medium jacket to but wanted extra space to throw a puffy underneath. The large gives me that without being overly baggy.

    The gear is all quality stuff too. I feckin love the pelton base layer. Best base/thermal I have ever used
