Who pre-ordered their KUIU this week?

[highpoint forge]

Curious as to who is buying what. I ordered a pair of Attack pants and the Guide Jacket. Already have high quality merino base layers.

Wish they had some sort of lighter top for warmer weather to go with the Attack pant.

Should be fun! Can't wait for the KUIU to arrive.....

I ordered the same plus the 185 base.  I would like to see a lightweight top.  Maybe I should have ordered a vest too...  

[Jack Guard]

I am gonna push the button in a few minutes.  Am having trouble deciding on items, camo ?   Brown ?  Grey ?   vest ?  rain gear ?  

Goodness, i already have everything i need but it looks so good.  

Well, i guess i will just have to stop buying bows.  Oh man, now i have to go check the classifieds.   I'm a mess.

Yeah,
Just ordered my gear then, Vest and merino top/beanie. Can't wait to get them.

Yep, I am on the band wagon. I ordered guide jacket, pants and the spindrift insulating layer, and a cool cigar ball cap! I can't wait till season starts!!

[limbow]

Ordered the complete system. Chose to go with the rain gear over the Guide jacket and attack pants. What's everyone's opinion about this camo pattern for treestand hunting whitetails? Merely looking for your thoughts here, not throwing stones by any means  

[hayslope]

Have to wait until tomorrow........."my day".  Still torn as to what else to drop the hammer on beside the vest and beanie.

I think that camo will be great in a treestand!

 

[Dirtybird]

Yeah just ordered the attack pant and two merino tops.

It works great, the light/dark contrast is great for treestand hunting as well as on the ground...

I think you'll find it works great...

It would probably work great in the skyline treestand, but down in a low light hollow hard to say.

I am very interested in their line of Outerwear Hunting clothes but am holding off to hear what people think of it once they get it. I bought the complete line of Sitka Gear when it first came out but only after a guarantee from them that I could return it if I did not like it. Has anyone actually felt the fabric? When reading the info on it, it sure sounds really good but I am wondering how it feels against the skin. I would really like to see and touch it before I buy it.

Ordered the full set yesterday, minus the raingear and pack.  Hoping to put it to the test this Sept. chasing elk.  As far as the camo pattern it was a huge plus for me when I saw the Vias camo because I'm primarily a treestand hunter and that's where the open/contrast patterns really shine.

[highpoint forge]

I'm with Curt on this one concerning the open Vias pattern. He obviously used it with good results out at Lambshead in West TX. All over TX the pattern should be deadly. Jason's blog has some great photos from the human perspective. I mix my Sitka patterns with good results, but at multiple ranges the Vias might be a great all around, plus DWR and super light. I am on the ground more anyway.

I'll likely sell off my redundant Sitka, except for the Incinerators for serious cold and wet.

What sold me finally are the technical details of the clothing, and effort put into quality of manufacture. I notice price versus construction job and fabric choices Jason made, and let's not forget the pricing structure/online store. Bottom line JH @ KUIU is running a startup business and I will support him. I know how hard it is when you are wearing all the hats and trying to be successful.

Say no to Corporate Camo!

i bought my new undies! one set of 185 and one set of 285. going to test them moose hunting this fall in Alberta!

My day to pre-order is tomorrow 3/25 and after reading more on the website and this post I am going to bite the bullet and order the outerwear and maybe the pack frame then wait for the camo packs to come out. Wish they would come out with a cargo attachment for the pack!!

[NBK]

Joebuck, The attack pants look like they would be great for warm weather.  As for a top, the merino 185 zip top by itself is what I'm planning on for warmer weather.  During the preshop period you won't have access to the online store until your assigned day.  To view the items and a review you'll have to go back through the blog where there is a review of each item.  And like Ryan said if you have specific questions call that customer service number, you'll speak with Eric who helped me out yesterday.

You can access the online store by clicking on the link in the original preshop email.  It will show the items as out of stock but you can still review them and plan your purchase.
