Reviews

Great jacket. However, I hunt

"Great jacket. However, I hunt is a very dusty area and the zippers from any Kuiu product don’t handle dust and dirt well. Kuiu has replaced the products with bad zippers which speaks well of them."

Kenai Jacket

"Its down and still quiet! Havent had much of a chance to use it yet, but it was comfortable in 5° temps with a merino 145 and strongfleece 200 under it. It was only for a short time shooting my bow though."

— Ryan B. (5/5)

I would probably give it

"I would probably give it 5 stars if I did not have to buy the camo to get it without a hood."

— Tom W. (4/5)

Great Mid Layer

"Kenai jacket works great as layer under a windproof uninsulated outer layer (different brand). It's not very wind resistant on its own, but quieter than I anticipated and has some stretch. Quiet enough for bowhunting. Smooth surface makes it easy to slide over base layers and under outer layer. It's lightweight and packs well. It made a big difference in 20 degree late season bowhunting weather. It made my 30 degree suit w/ base layers into a 18-20 degree suit. Runs on the slightly on the small side (very athletic fit so trim waist/belly), but that minimizes bunching and helps with layering."

— Robert S. (5/5)

"It’s my favorite jacket to wear anytime"

Q&A

I'm 5'9",190 lbs. Purchased a large size and this jacket barely fit me. Tried to send it back for exchange and the process was so bad I still have this jacket in my closet. I've read the reviews and all lead me to believe that the size was true to fit. Now im not sure if I need XL or XXL? Been 8-9 mos can I still return it? Tags still attached. I'll need UPS lable. I have no access to printer . $259 hanging in the closet
We offer a 45 day return/exchange window, but if it is outside of that window we will unfortunately not be able to accept it back
