Rain gear: Kuiu Kutana vs Sitka Dew Point

[Jackets307]

Anyone have experience with either or both? Likes and dislikes?

I’ve tried both. Still have both. For me, the kutana is for when I expect tougher weather and need more durability. The Dewpoint is for everything else. Really light and versatile.

Curious as well. The dewpoint seems ridiculously light for the jacket which makes me concerned in heavier rain.

Disclaimer: I don't have either, however, I am interested in both. I was on a similar journey and researched quite a few older threads. It seemed the general consensus was that the Dew Point is good for backpacking but not bushwhacking, while the Kutana is is thicker and more durable for truck or day hunting. I'm going to roll the dice and pick up the Dew Point.

I've put my Dewpoint jacket/pants through some pretty tough conditions- both weather and terrain. If I went to work on a fishing boat I'd probably buy something different, but for hunting it's what goes in my pack.

If you don't care about colors i just got a navy blue dew point for $90 from eurooptic.

Which is why I wish Sitka still made the Cloudburst! Definitely more robust thean the Dewpoint… something you’re not afraid to go off trail through the brush in!

You’ll be happy with the dew point set, lightweight and easy to pack.
