Encounter 290 Fleece - the warmest

"The Encounter 290 Fleece is one of the warmest layers I have ever owned. Fits great, soft and very comfortable."

Ian Y. (5/5)

Artic Circle No Match For and the other KUIU articles

"A week in Greenland during its winter will quickly determine whether clothes advertised "for frigid conditions" measure up, and these under my gale force bib and jacket definitely proved their value. I don't pretend to understand the technology, but I do understand that I was subjected to temps and wind chills that put these articles to the extreme test and did they ever succeed in keeping me warm and dry. Driving an ATV across a frozen lake, at top speed, I never felt cold. In summary, I would highly recommend these, as well as the other articles referenced in this review"

"Excellent quality."

Todd B. (5/5)

Encounter 290 Fleece Bottom

"Warm! These fleece bottoms are my favorite 2nd base layer, they are warm. As someone who is cold natured I really appreciate the quality in these fleece bottoms. The fit is right on and the great KUIU quality is the reason that I have several pairs of these."

Mark B. (5/5)

Love these fleece bottoms

"So glad I ordered this. go up one size unless you like a tight fit. I usually wear a large but sent it back and tried XL. They still lay against the skin but are not restricting. VERY WARM"
