What is more versatile as a do it all piece? The kiln 250, or the Klamath? Looking for that mid layer for cold days as well as an outer layer that I can use on elk hunts as well as deer and spring turkey.

Let me know what you think

I wouldn’t buy a Kiln again, for mid later synthetic all the way. I have a Kuiu Peloton 97 and that thing dries way quicker than the Kiln, assuming the Klamath dries as quick but I don’t own one. Kiln is my at home around town hoody, 97 comes hunting.

I have both and feel like I get way more use or out the Klamath as a mid/outer layer. Sometimes I’ll only wear the Kiln with a wick 150 tshirt underneath, but I’ve found that I do much better with adding synthetic layers on top of base layers for sake of breathability and quicker drying. I use the kiln more as a heavier base layer layer on in the season when a 150 weight isn’t quite enough. Even then, still running the Klamath over he top.

How does the Klamath do when it gets wet?

I too would pick the Klamath if forced to choose between it and the Kiln. I wear a Wick more often than the Fuse or Kiln and the Klamath is my preferred layer over the Wick.

I love my Klamath. A crewneck merino baselayer and the Klamath hoody on top are the foundations of my layering system.

Ended up getting the Klamath during the opener sale. Thanks for the input guys! Now I just have to get rid of this Kiln. I have too many hooded layers now

Good choice. I'm not a fan of merino as a mid layer. I like the Klamath over the kiln or fuse baselayer. Klamath isn't the warmest mid layer or something that'll block the wind but it's a nice comfortable midlayer that isn't too thick to throw something over the top of.

Kiln is more of a baselayer, and would only be used as an outer layer on pretty warm days. The Klamath is far better as a midlayer or active outer layer than the Kiln. If I could only have one of the two, I would choose the Kiln, but for what you described, the Klamath is the way to go.
