Thread: A little gear review - Kuiu Strong Fleece Hybrid 260 Zip

Two of my mates have put them to work over the last year and endorsed them so I have just acquired a pair myself. Lots of good reviews

Got the 280 coming in the new valo pattern as well as a pair of katuna pants. Love the attack pants, wasn’t a pants wearing person hunting until getting a pair!

I like the attack pants but the material does pull when scrub bashing and I managed to tear a hole in them somehow.

From what I see on their (Kuiu) website the items look very similar but the peleton top is certainly cheaper!

They are awesome pants and certainly the ticket for outside of the summer months and as JoshC says they are super comfy and light to wear.

Thanks guys - I'll have to get a set for next year.

@Tikka7mm08 Why the change to First Lite? Supporting NZ Merino?

No I find the 37.5 fill they use is really good and the puffy - Cirrus and Uncompaghre - have a bit tougher outer. The cut is more.... forgiving. Local agent really good to deal with too.

@Tahr Kuiu use NZ Merino, I imagine First Lite is the same? My only reason I don’t use First Lite is I don’t like the colouring. As a hunter who spends a lot of time in the bush their camo colours are pretty much all shades of brown. Instant no no for me and my conscience.

I Must admit I haven’t gone down this rabbit hole but is this stuff just got the Gucci label or it is The shit , also sucks you can’t actually try it on or feel it before buying

It is quality shit. Follow the online instructions for fitment and you'll be away

yeah ive got the pro pants which are the attackpants with knee pads, little too hot for me to wear year round, ive just got some of the triburon, havent worn them in the feild yet but they are about half the weight so im hoping will be awesome for summer tops hunting

For those that might be interested... the new Valo pattern in wallaby country
