Confession of a alaska master guide

KUIU is the new Nickleback. It’s now cool to hate them.

Someone hates nickleback?!?! Only drake fans....

Gotcha. So I need to sell my Kuiu stuff and Nickleback CD's

 

[BRWNBR]

Sell your Kuiu and send me your CD’s!!

So the gaiters fit pretty good, I got large, apparently kuiu boys are a little slender in the calves. I think there’s just enough stretch in them to fit mine. The gray is pretty, and the little ram skull logo is just amazingly artistic. I just love the feel of the suede textured material against my skin, I only wore them to bed for the first two nights I had them. Wife said no more. So they are back out in the garage, but whenever I’m out there they are with me, we cut wood together the other day, took a long evening walk and pulled weeds in the garden, it was just one of those bonding days a guy never forgets, Katy Perry was blasting on my iPhone and I’m not gonna lie....we danced a little. I put my Kuiu sticker in the back window of my truck, wish they had sent more so I could put one on the wife’s rig, my gunnsafe, side by side, forehead, the boat window, local grocery store, and given them as gifts. I’m sure everyone would love them! Gotta run, days of our lives is on soon!!

It takes a big man to stand up in front of a group like this and admit to ......Kuiu.

Slow down now. You should start out like, a day in your pack . Then the next trip take them out and use them to set on , get used to having that dry back side first . But once you wear them were you need them it is over your an addict. You might be able to stop now but i doubt it. Good luck, I am looking at mine now and they are calling me .

Here’s the trick... 1 part Kuiu gators with .5 first lite puffy and .5 seek...no hangover..BOOM

 

[BRWNBR]

I have Sitka ascent pants, first lite Chama hoody, red ram merino base top, ibex Marino base lowers, cabelas liner socks,Kuiu gaiters, cabelas puffy, will I be ok?

 

[NDGuy]

I saw so much KUIU and Sitka clothing it was amazing. People were wearing it to dinner, grocery shopping....everywhere.

What you don't have a different layering system for shopping, working out, or taking your wife to dinner?

There is no coming back from the dark side

it was just one of those bonding days a guy never forgets, Katy Perry was blasting on my iPhone and I’m not gonna lie....we danced a little.

Everyone loves that song it's okay.

Ok. The gaiters are awesome. Man that’s painful to say. But really comfy, a bit warm but that may be good later in the season.

 

[eamyrick]

This thread is awesome. I bought a KUIU guide jacket 2 years ago and when wearing it I could feel the mountain air in the Whole Foods dairy isle. Alas, I had to sell it because it was so damn tight at the armpits.

My new gaiters have missed the first Sheep hunt of the season. I have a sick kid and was forced to cancel my first hunt. So they sit in my pack waiting....
Sometimes late in the night I hear crying in my garage. I rush out and snap the door open. I figured it was those Kuiu gaiters whining about not going hunting like a great bird dog sitting by the door of the gun safe, like a loyal compadre at your porch at dawn waiting to hit the woods!! No. No it wasn’t the gaiters. Turned out to be all my ice axes, sleeping pad, quilt, teddy bear, phone charger, inReach and hunting clothes crying because they have to sit in that pack and listen to those gaiters talk about how awesome they are!! Non-stop!! Apparently they won’t shut up and keep going on and on about how no one can touch them how there’s no middle man mark up how they made their living selling ugly camo etc etc. my other gear was getting pissed, so I was forced to separate them. I stuck those gaiters in the freezer to teach them a lesson. We all gotta get along to make it work. Can’t have mutiny on the mountian!

 

[RCL]

That should work. Show those gaiters some tough love.

Wishing a fast recovery for the young one.

 

[mproberts]

Be sure to let us know how your new pack does Jake.

Son of a mustard tiger!! what is this sorcery?! and why do I not already own it?

To think I have been lugging around a pack like a pilgrim this whole time!!

 

[BRWNBR]

I think so. Those gaiters were all like like “we can take it who cares we’re tough blah blah” I set them next to some frozen yogurt that my girls like that have that annoying little Elsa and Anna from the movie Frozen on the package!! Haha boy those gaiters aren’t gonna get a word in edgewise now!! Those sisters will drive anything insane!!

Well a humorous thread about a product I didn't care for. The fabric used on the gaiter is okay if you keep them dry and the temperature stays above zero. However, when I was using them it seems like the fabric holds water and with sub zero nights they would freeze up so solid I couldn't get them to flex enough to get them back on the next morning. I guess it's not a problem if you have a heated outfitter tent or if you sleep with them on. I also had the buckle bars bend in on both sides. I think the buckles are so low that rocks next to the boot would pry up on the whole buckle and that would bend the bar. I just haven't had that problem with other gaiters. The boot instep strap outer layer also doesn't hold up for long. Sorry for the sacrilegious comments on a hunting apparel cult thread, but that is my experience with them in one season of nothing but cold camps and 50-90 days in the field and only wearing them a small percentage of the days out YMMV.

 

[BRWNBR]

I appreciate that review! I’ll be watching for those things with mine as well. I will have below freezing nights and I’m sure they will be wet.
