Sitka kelvin down vs kuiu super down pro vest

Looking for a real world comparison for these two down vest. Anybody have them that can provide some feedback? Thanks

I have the Kuiu super down ultra vest in gunmetal. I wear it nearly daily over a hoodie when outdoors. It can be stuffed into a pocket in my cargo pants if I don’t want to wear it. It is super warm, but lightweight. I really like it. Don’t have the Sitka vest.

I don't have either vest but did have both puffys. The Sitka exterior was way too loud and crinkly for my liking. It went back and I got the Kuiu which is much more quiet. However, the Kuiu outer fabric feels very fragile and I would not wear it in brush as an outer garment. I hope this info is of some help.

Thanks for the feedback. I don’t see it being an outer layer much. More like an insulating layer in colder weather.
