I currently have traverse t and mountain pants from sitka. Which pants and top are simliar in the kuiu line
 
I have the mountain pants, my friends and family have the KUIU attack and i have tried them on (not hunted in them)... I like the fit of my MTN pants better but the quality of the two is similar. The mountain pants seem to stretch more. I am sticking with Mountain pants. I have no experience with the other KUIU offerings.
 
Nothing similar from KUIU to the Traverse. The 210 is most similar only it is 52% Wool vs. being all synthetic like the Traverse. IMO the pants most similar to Sitka Mountain Pants in the KUIU line are the Chinook pants. Really the Sitka Mountain Pants fall somewhere between the KUIU Attacks and Chinooks.
 
The shirts are really different between the two companies. I prefer the Kuiu merino over the sitka. The mountain pants are the only piece of sitka gear I have left. They're lighter feeling than the attacks and heavier than the tiburons to me. I love how the mountain pants fit me but prefer the durability and feel of the attack. I ordered a pair of the chinooks but haven't received them yet. I believe either those ore the alpine (not available yet) are going to be more comparable to the mountain pant. I'm 6'2" 190 and wish the attacks had a longer inseam. The current ones seem a bit shorter than I prefer. I love the adaptability of the attack pants over any I've tried from other technical clothing makers. I run a bit cooler than most it seems and really like the guide pant the best. Wish they had thigh zips like the attacks and guide jacket.
