New KUIU pieces

[Nick Muche]

I think I am going to snag up one of these SUPER DOWN Hooded Jackets from KUIU. What do you all think? I also have a spindrift, do you think it is worth it or no? Other than the hood, will it keep me warmer than the SD will?

they look nice, I have never needed a down coat here in wyoming or MT, but I use my down vest a ton, hope they come out with one soon

I like the look of the pullover! It should be much warmer than the SD.

At 10oz and much more packable than my current puffy I may think about it, I'm sure it's warm enough. My only issue with most puffy's is they aren't windproof. I like them standalone without a shell on most of the time. I probably won't dish out $250 for one, but would snag a used one for $150 or so in a couple years.

What I really want is a sleeping bag made of that new quik down stuff...that would be worth the money IMO.

That hooded insulation piece really makes me want to sell my spindrift

I just pre-ordered the hooded version. Looks like the perfect piece of gear for me. I just hope the large fits me. I was hoping they added an 1" or 2 of sleeve length over the Spindrift. The word is that it's a slightly tighter fit (probably in the midsection, which is good for me).

I am trying to decide if I want to order one now in gun metal or wait for vias. All my other clothing is vias and I am having a hard time getting into verde.

Decisions decisions.

Me too but gunmetal seemed useless for hunting. I figured I would just not match for once. Maybe someday soon I will pick up a few more Verde pieces for my WA hunts. Vias is a little out of place in the NW anyways.

a hood! nice, thats what i wanted to see. I was going to get an arcteryx puffy with a hood but now maybe this one

 

[Lawnboi]

Wow after reading the specs more I will be getting the hooded.

Pretty sweet looking. Like the down jacket although Not sure if anything could replace my Kifaru paclock jacket thou.

Also not sure if I like the new camo pattern. Has the digi camo look to it.

That hooded super down jacket really packs down small, almost pocket size. I could see the hooded jacket and pant coupled with a bivy replacing my sleeping bag during summer scouting and maybe even early fall.

Not match while hunting!! I agree the gunmetal would be pretty useless for hunting but I figure I'd only be wearing it while glassing. Plus I've always wanted to wear my spin-drift around town but not much into rocking camo everywhere.

What I should really do is just not buy it at all since I really don't need it. All this new KUIU gear sure puts a hole in the bank account.

KUIU is just another monthly bill! My card is CONSTANTLY getting hit by KUIU. Today I ordered all three down pieces. Last week it was the new 230 undershirt.

 

[Nick Muche]

Yep, I just ordered the hooded jacket, can't wait to see how she works in an Idaho late season hunt or THREE!

 

[garrenj]

Least I don't feel so bad thanks Guys. I am sure interested in the review of the new 230 shirt.

 

[Nick Muche]

Anyone have any idea how noisy the new jackets will be?

 

[akrdkill]

No idea. But if its as stretchy as they say it must be flexible It's not a hard shell so I'd think it'll be pretty quite
