My wife bought me the Kuiu Super Down
Burner Parka for my birthday earlier this month. At a price of $799.99, it was not something I was considering purchasing for myself (no discounts or pro deals available on it). I didn't even give it much of a look because of the sticker shock.
Well, my wife knows I already have a closet full of assorted gear to cover most situations and she wanted to find something I didn't have and would actually use. She knew I have multiple other down and synthetic puffy jackets but figured this one would work well for the extreme cold situations.
After using it for a week of mostly night hunting in North Dakota, I am very impressed. The temps were as low as -8 with winds over 10 mph most of the time. I never even got the slightest chill. Since I only used it for a week so far and never in the rain, I won't comment on durability or rain resistance but I have high hopes. I do still think the price is high but am very satisfied with it overall. The Burner Parka will be with me on all of my late-season outings from now on.
