Reviews

Well Designed. Cold Weather Freedom of Movement

"I am in Florida, so all of my hunting gear is very lightweight. I was heading down to Argentina for a winter dove hunt with my son and realized we needed some colder weather gear. Bought this jacket as well as some of the other layers from Cou, which we already know and love. This jacket performed flawlessly. It kept us warm. But more importantly, we were able to shoot with three layers on completely unencumbered with tremendous freedom of motion. This is extremely well designed gear. I couldn’t recommend it enough."

— Brian H. (5/5)

Looking forward to still hunting the Adirondacks this year!

"This is the final piece of my KUIU hunting clothing. This jacket will be great as my outer layer for long cold November through early December still hunting Whitetail Deer in the Adirondacks of New York State. The fit is great over my base and mid layers."

— Timothy B. (5/5)

Just Perfect!

"As a professional hunter, I mainly use the KUIU Axis Hybrid Hooded Jacket in Ash in the mid-mountain regions. It fits perfectly, offers excellent mobility, and is ideal for active days in variable mountain conditions. The hybrid design is spot-on — lightweight, breathable, and not overly insulating, which makes it perfect for layering. The strategic waterproof paneling in the hood, shoulders, and arms keeps me dry where it matters most. The Ash color looks sharp and blends well in the terrain. Top quality from KUIU — one of my favorite jackets. Highly recommended!"

— Alex B. (5/5)

2nd Hybrid

"This is my second Axis Hybrid I bought. The 1st was an XL. It fit perfectly but was pretty snug when I wore layers under it. The hybrid is an awesome outer layer. It stops the wind, and keeps you dry."

— William H. (5/5)

Great cover and look overall

"Bought the Apex set for my boyfriend and he loves it. A bit more of an athletic fit, has some stretch for under layers but if you like to layer up thick go up a size. Kuiu always has great quality."

— Nicole S. (5/5)

High quality and great customer service

"Originally ordered large coat and vest but had to return them for XL. XL seems great but hunting season is 3 months out so haven’t worn the stuff much. Quality seems excellent in comparison to others."

— Harold P. (5/5)

Great Jacket

"Looking for a Jacket to wear to the stand in cold to fridged weather, this is perfect, keep me warm, but not to hot. It is snug, but fits over base and mid layers perfect all 3 size L."

— Ian Y. (5/5)

The size is correct. At

"The size is correct. At first glance, the jacket looks good; now it just needs to be tested in the field to confirm."

— Carlos B. (5/5)

Good product

"The large was a little tight in the shoulders for me but would have worked. The XL fits better on me and allows for some layering room which is what I wanted."

— Garrett Z. (5/5)

Haven’t used yet not till

"Haven’t used yet not till September in Alaska here in Texas it’s been 105/110 degrees"

— Michael H. (5/5)

Q&A

Is this jacket suitable for hunting mountain lion in Utah in February? ie - moisture wicking, durable in brush, good water resistance?
Yes, the Axis Hybrid Hooded Jacket would be a great choice for your needs!
is this jacket good for white tail hunts? Id like to use it for bow hunting a bit also how is it on noise?
The Axis is a great soft shell jacket that many customers enjoy on whitetail hunts. It is a quiet piece, but we do offer our Proximity and Encounter Jackets that would be quieter
Is the Axis Hybrid a true rain jacket? Says it is waterproof and the reviews are good. Does it hold up to a soaking rain?
It's a water resistant soft shell, but it is not a true waterproof hard shell. For soaking rains, you'll want to wear a waterproof hard shell, like the Yukon, over the top.
How loud is this jacket? Is it quiet enough to stalk mule deer in southern az?
It's as quiet as any other soft shell, but a quieter option would be the Kenai Jacket. Although insulated, it's active insulation which makes it incredibly breathable.
