Puffy jacket comparison

The arms on the Kenai are not baggy at all. I haven't shot with it, but my cold weather treestand coat is twice as thick as the kenai and I haven't had any issues. The kenai has grid insulation, meaning more in the core area and less in the arms.
 
I have the Uncompaghre, that jacket is the absolute best all around puffy when you take weight, warmth, fit, wind/water resistance, and durability into account. Most reviewers can confirm that...

That being said, I just picked up a Kenai from KUIU as well. Completely different jacket, but still a puffy. SUPER quiet, but a stiff wind will cut right through. Also a much tighter fit than the First Lite. Both have their place in any Western hunters arsenal IMHO.
 
It wasn't in the test, but the Kryptek Aquillo is a nice option.

I would say warmer than Kuiu Kenai and Super Down.

A little more noisy than the Kenai. More durable than the Super Down.

Weighs a little bit more than both Kuius, little bit less than FL and Kifaru.

Less noisy than the FL. About the same warmth than the FL, but no wind blocker lining.

Less noisy and not as warm as Kifaru.
