New KUIU

[MattB]

My 32" Tiburons fit very similarly to my 32" Attacks - in fact I tried them on back to back to back to compare/contrast fit.

The Tiburon pants and shirt are legit. I never really liked the Attacks, which are comfortable, yes, but too much of a tweeter pant and snag-city. The Tiburon fabric breathes like no other, moves through thorns fine, and stretches plenty for my uses.

I see by my tracking number that the Yukon jacket I ordered is getting the full tour of California again.... Does anyone have one yet? If so how is the sizing? From a couple reviews on the Kuiu forum it sounds like they are cut very large...????

Pretty happy with my Tiburon pants. Got them out last weekend for a couple of hikes here in northern AZ... They seem to fit the same as my Attacks do. They held up well with brushing up against rocks, brush and climbing over downed trees. Very breathable and it was nice to feel the breeze go through them. Temps weren't above 75'ish, but very similar to what I'd encounter during archery elk season here in AZ.

I didn't order the Tiburon shirt. Figure I'll just use my Merino shirt. I've been happy with the Merino performance in warm weather.

I got my Yukon gloves yesterday. They are pretty much exactly what I've been looking for the last couple of years as a waterproof breathable shell to wear over 'liner' gloves. They fit well over my KUIU guide gloves, Sitka Jetstream gloves, and Sitka shooter gloves. A little snug in the wrist when putting on, but after they're on, they are good to go. A little big when wearing alone, but that would be expected with a shell glove, and still completely doable.

Received my new Yukon jacket today. My initial review is that kuiu nailed it again with this piece of gear. Come oct/nov in Idaho and nwest mt when it gets nasty this will be my jacket. Size large 5'7" 162 gives me enough room for my super and one other layer to be snugly when it is nasty! Can't wait for oct bring it on.

Well Canada post came through for me today. I received the Yukon jacket this morning and thankfully it is pouring rain out. I took her for a spin with the super down underneath to build up some sweat and to see how well the jack would preform.

All I can say is wow. This is by far the nicest rain jacket I have ever worn. The cut, breathability, stretch, and construction are awesome. The size large is cut perfectly to go over the size large super down with a couple merino layers underneath. (6' 175lbs) I was a little worried about the rubber cuffs being tight but they are sized right to be just a little loose when not cinched down. The material is a lot quieter then the Chugatch line. So well have to see how they hold up over this year.

I just received my Tiburon pants. Wow they are light. Look very breathable. Haven't tried yet. Holding off on the shirt based on negative feedback about the sleeves. That would drive me nuts. If they fix that I will buy the shirt also.

Just recieved my Tiburon shirt today. It's not going to work out for me, the forearms are cut way too small i swear if i really wanted to flex hard it would tear the fabric and thats saying a lot considering i am skinny as hell lol.

Seems like good stuff but just too much restriction in the forearms especially when drawing the bow. Might try the pants on my return.

I had the same issue Craig, mines getting shipped back tmmw. Really cool material, can't figure out how the forearm issue got past all the guys that tested it before its release. Would also love some tabs on the sleeves to keep the sleeves from going over my hands. I'm sure the next generation of the shirt will have the kinks worked out.

Yeah seems like a big miss. Like i said if its a problem on me being to tight its a real problem lol.

Got mine Friday, first time KUIU buyer...32 pants, Lg Shirt (normally Med). Shot with the set on in the 95 degree Florida heat. Material seems to be great and was as cool as you can be in that kind of heat and humidity. I will say even going up a size, I still had the forearm issue that has been described. For my first set of back country clothes, I was pretty impressed. The only other thing I noticed was the cargo pocket openings are tight, even for my small hands, it took some effort to get to my release....but I'm use to the clothes I use in a tree stand. All in all, I feel I made a good purchase.

 

[jquarnberg]

I agree. No way this shirt was field tested. And the early reviews kuiu put out... I am shocked it wasn't mentioned. Anyone who put one on in their normal size would have noticed it. It really is a mess a huge mistake in my opinion. Cant even pull your sleeves up if its hot! And I mean what about when you get a buck down and its time to roll up your sleeves?

I want to send it back on principle but I like it enough im debating having it altered. I hope enough people sending them back results in them fixing it on the next go around.

They have gloves on site now.

 

[Rizzy]

I like those merino 230 liners, I think I'll give them a try.

 

[Ozz08]

Got the email too. Still no guide gloves in size large!

 

[BlackBear]

Got the email too. Still no guide gloves in size large!

I'm waiting too. I called and they said real soon. Camo only, no solids.

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around a 180$ glove system if you have the merino, guide and Yukon pieces.
