This is directly from Jason on the KUIU blog....

*************************************************

KUIU is Officially Launched

Hi Everyone,

I wanted you all to know first, Eric flipped the switch a few minutes ago; it is official, KUIU has launched! You can to to www.kuiu.com and click on SHOP and go shopping. I want to thank everyone of you for all the support of KUIU for the past 12 months and making this dream of mine become reality. I could not have made this happen without you.

Please let your family and friends who are not subscribers know they can now shop at kuiu.com. We went through a significant amount of inventory during the pre-shop event, thank you. There are some sizes and colors we are sold out of and I do not think it will take long before we sell the remaining inventory. So, if you know someone who is interested please encourage them to shop sooner than later.

I sincerely appreciate all the support for KUIU, it has been amazing.

Jason

**************************************************

Fellas, Jason is one of "us"....a hardcore tradition bowhunter, dedicated family man, and just an all around "good guy".

KUIU is a TG sponsor,so pass the word guys, this is great gear!

This is the culmination of at least a years worth of Jason's "blood, sweat, and tears" so to speak. He's put his heart and soul into everything that it has taken to produce such a fine product.

Can't wait till you guys that ordered get your gear out in the field. I have no doubt you'll be impressed!

Congrats again buddy, well deserved

KUIU? Never heard of it. Is that an energy drink?

Gotta go check it out. Thanks!

Hey Alex,
I heard that if you drink that stuff you'll disappear in the woods! :D

I posted this on another KUIU thread. I felt it was worth repeating

I am really excited to get this product. I have been waiting for a company to produce such a line of clothing. The camo pattern looks very versatile and extremely effective.
I often thought that if technical outdoor/climbing gear could be converged with a camo pattern and quiet exterior shell it would be a winner. That is what I believe KUIU will be.

Sign me up

I wonder if you still smell

ha ha

Honestly though I got to see the prototype products last weekend and like all who have seen them I was impressed. I will be wearing it this fall.

I really want to pull the trigger on the chugach pants and jacket. I've messed around with every lightweight raingear out there and have yet to find anything that performs well enough to call it lightweight and raingear.

Anyone tried it on? How much noise does it make, is the exterior finish soft or rigid? I'd really love to find some breathable raingear that I can wear in a deer stand here in Indiana, as well as out west or in AK, without it making noise.

Two other questions - will KUIU be displaying at any events this summer? I'd really like to try the gear on.

Q2 - is there a sizing chart on the website anywhere?

LimBender · « **Reply #10 on:** March 31, 2011, 05:55:00 PM »

Just got the 185 Merino top, bottom, beanie, and gaitor! I was about to pull the trigger on some Core/Traverse layering when this stuff came out. I really like merino wool and don't much like tight, spandex/poly layering. This is cheaper and looks like it will be a lot more comfortable than the Core/Traverse stuff.

Does anybody else think KUIU is almost too good at marketing? :D

Butchie · « **Reply #11 on:** March 31, 2011, 05:58:00 PM »

Awesome looking gear. I would definately be interested in the rain gear but need TALL size!!! (6'4" with long arms & legs). For the $$ I want to make sure it fits. Any idea if they will offer TALLS down the road? Funny, but I don't even feel all that tall anymore with some of the "kids" I see around today. Just can't find quality gear like this in TALL sizes!

I'm impressed with the prices, might have to try some of it out.

JJB2, The size chart is right above the Technical Features of any poduct you click on....

Example....
http://shop.kuiu.com/chugach-pant-p13.aspx

Just scroll down and click on "Size Chart" bud...

Ryan Sanpei · « **Reply #14 on:** March 31, 2011, 07:03:00 PM »

JJB2,
I'll be at Comptons this June with some of the KUIU products.

Butchie,
If I'm not mistaken, Jason is about 6'3". Write or call KUIU's customer service for additional info on sizes. Please call 1-855-FOR-KUIU between 9am to 5:30pm PST, or shoot them an email at [email protected] anytime.

Randy,
It just depends on the flavor you buy. I'm getting the "mighty mesquite" flavor for Hawaii!

Aloha!
Ryan

JJB2 · « **Reply #15 on:** March 31, 2011, 07:49:00 PM »

Ryan, that's great. I'll be at comptons as well. Do you have either of the chugach pieces?

Guru, thanks for pointing that out, if it were a snake it would have bitten me. The link kind of blends in with the rest of the text in the description.

Ryan Sanpei · « **Reply #16 on:** March 31, 2011, 08:03:00 PM »

Jarrett,
I'll be getting it in a week or so. After I give it a go, I'll let you know how it performs. In the mean time, did you get a chance to read what Jason wrote about the Chugach series in his blog?
From what you're asking for in a rain jacket/pant, the Chugach should meet your needs, but I don't want to give you my personal opinion until I try the set for myself.
Thank you!
Ryan

Guru · « **Reply #17 on:** March 31, 2011, 08:03:00 PM »

Don't feel bad, couldn't find it myself...And I knew it was there somewhere!

JJB2 · « **Reply #18 on:** March 31, 2011, 08:36:00 PM »

Ryan, I went back and read through the blog yesterday but you know how it is...gotta feel it, touch it, use it...and get it really freakin' wet for 3-4 days in the field to see if it performs as expected for the $$.

Jason, I love the concept behind the brand. Your feel for good product design and brand marketing are impeccable. The whole business model - from choosing and developing a differentiated product concept to brand build/momentum creation, thru to final execution/launch - would make a great MBA case study on how to start a small business.

He's definitely applied his learnings from Sitka well and if the gear performs I'll be a big advocate. I turned dozens of people on to Sitka in their early days. I respect the risk and work he's invested.
