Reviews

I went hunting and was

"I went hunting and was more prepared than ever with the Kutana Gale Force. We dealt with a major early season storm that was a ton of cold rain and about 3 in of snow that we hiked around in all day. I was the only one that returned to camp after a 12 hour day Dry and warm. Awesome gear"

— Chris H. (5/5)

Love It So Far!

"I have the coat and it fits well (5'9", 250, 53" around chest and hips, 50 around waist). I can comfortably layer Kuiu mid-layer gear. The quality of the garment seems to be absolutely first rate. That said, I've not tested it in cold or weather yet. So, at this preliminary position, everything I can rate I rate top-notch, but haven't yet tested it against the weather I bought it for."

— Fred A. (5/5)

Great All Weather Jacket

"I’ve been using the jacket on a hunt in the Canadian arctic circle the past week with temps down in the 20s and 30s, with some strong winds. I wore it over a guide jacket, Peloton 97 hoodie, and Tiburon Zip-T and have been quite comfortable. we also have experienced some wet days and it has kept me dry."

— Richard M. (5/5)

Fantastic Jacket

"I liked the Kutana Storm Shell so much that I ordered the Gale Force version for colder conditions. Not used in anger yet, but the feel and fit are excellent and in line with what I have come to expect from Kuiu."

— Ian C. (5/5)

Q&A

What is the emblem on the Jacket sleeve?
It is the Japanese symbol for Kutana and it will be on all of our Kutana items
Would this jacket double for skiing in frigid conditions as well?
Yes it is a great choice for skiing as well if its cold enough!
Is this jacket bulky? Can you move around easily? How about the nosie?
You can move around and hunt in this, but it's intended for incredibly cold conditions. As it is a seam-taped hard shell exterior, it isn't designed specifically to be quiet.
How does this jacket run? I’m 6’ 175lbs athletic build. Not sure if I would be a L or XL. I find some KUIU products run small
It runs true to size according to the size chart, so you will want to take your measurements before ordering. If you measure between sizes or want extra room, order the larger size.
