Kuiu Upland Field Vest Review ***Updated 11/24/24***

[Rjk300]

Has anyone tried Kuiu's brush pants? Not super interested in the vest, but the pants look really nice.

The ones I ordered for my daughter and I just came in last Friday so I don’t have any field experience with them yet. They are comfortable but I think the material they are using in the high contact areas is designed not to fray like the attack or guide do when something snags on to them pretty good. I was expecting something a little more heavy but since we haven’t really harmed the attack or guide pants with Ohio deer drives or PA pheasant hunts these should be the better option for longevity.

I got a pair for Christmas. I’ve worn them once on a hunt so far and like them. I went through some pretty thick stuff wearing them without any issues.

What are you hunting that your carrying several boxes of 3" shells?

You’ve never seen him shoot…

Hey now, 100% last year on all birds.

0 birds isn’t 100%

Shot or retrieved by the dogs?

I'm accountable for the first with 1 bang making 1 feather puff, but the latter is a not my dogs sort of thing.

That first rooster must have told all the others I'm a crack shotgunner because every other one got up outside of my safe zone.

When you knock a tail feather out of a rooster and it flies 3 miles, that’s considered a miss.

He dropped between the dogs! Then their shocked them be cause he couldn't see them and thought they were fighting over the bird.

I’m very intrigued. I hate the Velcro, but like most of the other features.

Looks well-made, though more vest than I want for my minimalist approach…

 

[TheTone]

I might pick up a camo one and try it for turkey hunting. I usually just carry a backpack but it’s more than I need. Looks nice

 

[SodakJay]

I’m pleasantly surprised at the price. It’s cheaper than final rise or Pyke. It’s still expensive enough that I’ll wait until there are some reviews but I’m intrigued.

It looks like a good vest at a great price.

I bought my dad a Final Rise 2 seasons ago and have been eyeing it since. I have had the old Orvis Strap Vest for the past 5 years, been a good bag but need to upgrade.

I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this and see how it compares to the Final Rise Summit.

I run a Dogtra Pathfinder so I have my phone in my hand A LOT when I hunt. The traditional big pocket vests are best for that because I can drop the phone into a big pocket with ease. This vest has a solution for the phone which really interests me.

Please post comments/reviews as you guys use this vest.

@KickinNDishin had their new quiver since it came out and wrote about it.

I wasted a good two weekends trying to find a water bottle that would fit in the water bottle pocket. The video guy said regular nalgenes won't fit in those pockets. I see that two bottles come with it, but stuff gets lost. I wish they would list the diameter of bottle that fits.

I was skeptical when I saw they were coming out with a bird vest, but have to admit it looks really well thought out with some innovative features and not just a knock off of other vests on the market. It’s a little more vest than I need storage wise but if I was a chukar hunter or did other big full day away from the truck hunts regularly it would be very appealing.

 

[Public Land Drew]

Bought it yesterday. Will provide an update when I get hands on it.

I’m away from the truck from 6 hours to all day, chasing chukar, quail, pheasant or huns. Looks to fit the bill pretty well.

Really wanted to support Matt at final rise, but at $100 cheaper and fits everything I need.

 

[Dos XX]

Has anyone seen where it is made? I'm pretty sure it isn't USA, but maybe at least it isn't China?

 

[voltage]

I still can’t get over the Velcro pockets.
