Reviews

Im skeptical about buying anything

"Im skeptical about buying anything due to my height. But after purchasing this jacket I'm completely sold. Fits really feel, sleeves aren't short. Im impressed. Done a few trios so far and the jacket has performed very well."

— Garrett S. (5/5)

Excelent jacket

"Cace en South Africa y camine por cerros con mucha vegetación y espinas, lluvia y calor, excelente performance, ligera, impermeable y resistente al calor y a la vegetación agreste. En la sábana soportó tormentas y lluvias ayudando mucho a la caza del bufalo y otras especies africanas."

— Fernando R. (5/5)

Very versatile jacket

"Very versatile jacket. Wore it in newfound where rain comes and goes without notice. Kept me dry in the shoulders and arms, kept me cool while walking bogs and going through the tuck. The vented armpits were a life saver. Only down side is it really didn’t eliminate the wind chill (also there was 25 mph gust)."

— Nathan U. (4/5)

Great all-round Jacket for multiple seasons

"I love the material on this jacket. I just wore it in the rain and it performed beautifully. Stretching in the fabric is nice and I'm confident I can layer with tight fitting high performance under layers to stay warm for later season hunts. I normally wear a large and at first I was concerned that the arms were too form-fitting, but I've decided I like that fit for better mobility."

— Jason E. (5/5)

Exactly what I was looking for!

"I had previously been using the Axis Thermal Hybrid, which is a fantastic jacket, but it was definitely too warm for early season archery hunts here in the Pacific Northwest, but the morning dew and rains are hitting hard enough to still warrant waterproof gear. This jacket fit the bill perfectly in that it’s just enough layering in the cool mornings, but light enough to handle the hikes in 70 degree weather, and the zippered vents are awesome. Very happy with this purchase!"

— Michael J. (5/5)

Axis hybrid Jacket

"Excellent later season jacket or when that unannounced thunder bumper hits during archery. I live in Idaho high country and layered, this jacket will get you through several seasons. It never leaves my pack. I'm 5' 9" 175 and like a XL just because it's perfect with a tee and merino hoodie underneath."

— Ryan P. (5/5)

Great jacket!!

"Second one I buy. The first I got in the Dixon store while road tripping in California last January. As a Canadian, here they are very expensive, to much for me. Maybe because of Trumpstein tarrifs... This one I bought with seasonal special, it made it affordable. It is a very confortable jacket and also very compact. I love it."

— Eric A. (5/5)

Nice Fit For Me

"Jacket is a nice fit. Haven’t experienced its performance in the elements yet. However I’m satisfied with the purchase. However the inner circle membership is subpar, more like non existing. Still haven’t received the gift that comes with the membership."

— Darius P. (5/5)

KUIU Axis Hybrid Hooded Jacket

"The KUIU Axis Hybrid Hooded Jacket is lightweight, comfortable, and provides excellent protection from wind and light weather. It moves well during active use and works great as a versatile outer layer for hunting and hiking."

— Aleksandr K. (5/5)

Great jacket, slim fitting in the shoulders.

"I’m currently at elk camp in western Wyoming having just walked out in a good rain storm. This jacket kept me dry and warm. It’s fitted a little slim so definitely size up if your in between sizes and for layers. I’m 6’1 205 and got the xl. It’s great in the belly area but a little snug in the chest and shoulders."

— Chris N. (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.
