Kuiu Super Down Haven

Looks like Kuiu released something new for the whitetail hunters when it’s cold. Says its using Synthacell Windproof technology, never heard of it

Super Down Haven

The warmth of down insulation is unmatchable, but it’s never been a viable option for whitetail hunting because the fabrics that have always contained it have never been dead quiet—until now. The first of its kind, the Super Down Haven series of hooded jacket and bib combine KUIU’s legendary...

Saw this last night I’m 100% gonna try it out. It shows that this new down jacket weighs more then the proximity jacket by about 7 ounces. The new jacked is 2 pounds 7.9 ounces the proximity is 2 pounds I would think the down jacked would be lighter. I have the proximity and really like it but it’s not enough when it gets what I call cold it’s good for 35-50 if it’s colder then that I use the fanatic as I get cold easy up in the tree…

I wish they would tell you the amount of down in each piece.

Like the Sitka Fanatic? I can't tell if they are comparable??

I agree, the proximity line is not fit for temperatures below 35…especially if there is any wind. My bibs tore in the crotch within a few weeks of receiving. Kuiu replaced them, but still disappointed in the marketing of the item. Sitkas whitetail line is far superior for colder temps. This new jacket could be interesting though.

Now this finally looks like an actual innovative change. This looks like a winner for the whitetail woods.

Durability is going to be key. Puffy stuff isn't extremely popular in the deer woods for more than just the sound of the fabric.
