KUIU 260 vs Sitka Traverse cold weather hoodie

[WeiserBucks]

Looking at something to replace my KUIU strong fleece 260. I like a lot about it but I hate that it's not a full zip. Is the Sitka Traverse a good full zip comparison?

The Traverse is a litter warmer but it is also much heavier. The SF 260 is only 14oz where as the Traverse is 27oz. If sitting in a stand, Sitka would be my choice. If doing any sort of activity - I'd go KUIU.

We do a Raffle + Review on Hoodies and the KUIU Strongfleece 280 is the top choice amongst the winners. Mainly because its a bit warmer and unlike the 260, it comes in a full zip.

280 Strongfleece is full zip.

The Traverse is much bulkier, heavier and warmer. The 260/280 layer much better. Give and take

I have both pieces and the Traverse is quite a bit heavier and a little warmer. Like Shadedown said above the 280 is full zip. I use the Traverse as an outer layer as it is pretty bulky.

My problem with the 260 was it was tight in the arms.
