Kuiu Yukon vs FL Seak Rain Jacket

[Benjblt]

If you had to choose a heavy rain shell (jacket) which would you go with, Kuiu Yukon or the First Lite Seak jacket? Thanks!

100% Yukon

I would agree with MtnMuley regarding the Kuiu Yukon

I’d vote for First Lite. Kuiu’s clothes always fit too tight for my liking and I’m not a huge fan of their camp patterns either.

Yeah but the SEAK is huge on me. I guess from a fit standpoint its whichever a guy prefers.

Why do you guys prefer the Yukon?

Yukon is bombproof

@Ryan Avery I know that you've used the SEAK and like it. Have you ever used the Kuiu Yukon? Any thoughts on how they compare?

 

[Ryan Avery]

I have used both.

The jackets are both very tough and highly water-resistant. No breathable jacket is waterproof no matter what the company tells you. The FL has a boxy/roomy cut. The Kuiu has an athletic fit. I woud buy the one I could get the best deal on personaly.

Thanks for the feedback.

@Ryan Avery how would you compare them now? Sound, stretch and durability.

Haven't used them in a few years. I pretty much use the Kryptek Takur for most trips and a PVS-type rain jacket for the total shit weather brush trips.
