Thread: Kuiu gear

I have a bit of their gear too...
Superdown hooded jacket - really rate this, light, warm, and packs down really small.
Chugach NX jacket - haven't used it much yet but it's light and waterproof and fits well. Longer cut than other US stuff like Sitka.
Accent pants, bino harness, guide gloves, boonie hat etc... All good gear. Got yukon gloves and guide vest coming from coa5ter.

Still want some of the new merino tops, a superdown vest, more pants....

Yet to really try the gear out but I agree on the cut. The Guide DCS has a longer length and first impressions are really good.
The merino 210 is a bit of a fib. The material appears to be a laminate with a fleece type inner under a merino outer. Really good combo though.
Might have to look at the Superdown jacket for next winter.

I have the 210 as well. In the description on the site it says it has the brushed polyester fleece inner.
Im currently looking at the Yukon jacket and the chinook. Though the Chugach is something i would look at as well. Anyone got both the yukon and chugach which do you rate better?

I should have looked a bit harder. Still bloody nice

I would recommend the Yukon gear over the Chugach. The Yukon is harder wearing and will survive longer in NZ conditions. The Chugach is strictly rain gear and will get torn up pretty quick in the bush and mountains.
