Kuiu Kenai jacket vs?

[Mark at EXO]

How would you compare it to a Kelvin Active or Kuiu Kenai?

They're all different pieces. The Ventus and Kenai share the same type of insulation, but have different shells and pockets/features. (And the Ventus is half the weight of the Kenai.) Not sure what you're looking for (weight, features, active vs static insulation, etc), but my testing of the new Sitka Ambient is more of what I hoped the Ventus would have been — super light, moderate insulation/warmth (not a static cold weather puffy), but good breathability.

I just got a kenai to replace a 10 year old patagonia synthetic parka i had from using as a belay jacket. It's got a nice warmth to weight ratio, and i'm really happy with it.
