Took advantage of the Kuiu sale and purchased a Kuiu Yukon Jacket size L (i normally am between a M and L in most items so went with L for layering).
1. Seems solidly built, strong seams and high quality material and seam work (in college many moons ago, I worked in a garment plant so seam quality, alignment and pattern are things I take notice of)
2. Outer material seems durable and not as ‘loud’ as I thought it would be. I don’t archery hunt much, with the exception of whitetail deer, but see no issue with noise;, however, string interference may occur (will take some practice time to better understand)
3. Layering ability is there for at least 2 layers, a base and puffy style jacket, with no issues.
Also ordered a pair of the Expedition gloves
1. Very high quality material and seam work
2. They are ‘big’. The medium glove is HUGE, I should be able to get a merino liner or silk liner glove under this with no issue.
Initial impressions are all positive for both purchases. I plan to put them through the ‘shower test’ over this holiday weekend and see how they truly perform with the waterproof and breathable concepts.
Thanks!
