Kuiu - gotta vent

[j33]

First Lite, here I come. I've talked to their customer service a few times about sizing, product explanations, etc., and they've always been straight shooters. Profesional but in a "you sound like someone I'd hang out" kind of way.

First Lite definitely has better customer service than Kuiu, I wouldn't buy anything more than baselayers from them though... And quality isn't any better there than Kuiu if anything a slight bit below. This would not have been covered at First Lite either as it doesn't effect performance.

If you want the best balance of customer service and warranty I would go Sitka stuff when they're on sale. Lots of other hunting brands are good too, but you can guarantee Sitka will still be around in 10 years while some of the others might not.

Ship me your sweater if you’re that worried about it saying KUIU on it. My wife has an embroidering machine and can fix it permanently for you for $20. PM for address.

Yeaaaa... the lack of women's clothing speaks for itself. They don't truly support women hunting. The majority of hunters are men so from a business standpoint that's where you're going to make your money, but that doesn't mean you cut out the other demographic entirely. Kuiu has their niche figured out and made it quite clear.

First Lite and Sitka both have just about as much women's clothing as men's.

For me its just simple math.
I hunt and fish a lot.
I'd like to hunt and fish a lot more.

Girlfriend who hunts and fish + me = more time I'm hunting and fishing
