Kuiu Spindrift Jacket

[IAHNTR]

FYI- If you call in to place an order with Kuiu they are offering $40 off the Spindrift. If you just call and ask I bet they would hook you up with one. My commission is $5...send it to my PayPal..lol.

Just ordered my first Kuiu piece.

I got suckered into the deal as well this morning when I called and pre-ordered the Yukon Gaitors... This has got to stop lol

So tempting! I just got the Guide Jacket yesterday and love it so far. KUIU has my business.

I already have two. I got both at that price. They have put them on sale at least twice.

Last time my size was gone.

I must be the guy stuck in the middle. On the L spindrift the chest is too tight. On the XL the sleeves are a little long. I went with the XL as when I layer the other items, the L was just too restrictive. Can't wait to field test the items!

I really like my guide jacket. Is been an expensive week.

Sleeves are a little short for me on the Large but fits pretty well.

Spindrift showed up today! So far I'm impressed... Really think its the perfect versatile insulating layer for my "system" I got going on. Just picked up off another forum the first lite Llano crew shirt as well for $60. I think with the merino base, Russel APXG2 L2 1/4 zip T, Kuiu SpinDrift, and C4E Element jacket I'll be good to 20* or so! I don't see the spin drift being as warm as a down vest or jacket but it fits really nicely under my Element jacket! Like the stuff pocket thing its got going on as well.

So how warm are the spindrifts compared to say a heavy fleece pull over?

 

[HellsCanyon]

I'd say they are right there with a heavy fleece. Not a really heavy piece. I honestly think it could be a touch warmer/thicker but haven't had a chance to wear it in the field yet!

Where it beats a fleece is that it does provide a substantial block from wind. So I would actually say as an outer piece - when not that cold to warrant a jacket over the spindrift - it's warmer than a fleece. Great and versatile piece.

It is warm enough and unbelievably warm for the weight!

Thanks for the info... Looks like I just dropped another 15 oz from my pack
