Reviews

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)

Yes — just used it

"Yes — just used it along with the bibs on an Arctic island caribou / Greenland Muskox hunt in Nunavut. Performed as expected in cold / windy conditions. Didn’t have any rain / dioxin to deal with but would expect it to perform well ."

— Trevor A. (5/5)

Awesome Coat

"This coat cut is perfect, a little longer than average but not too much, space in the shoulder and not bulky around the waste. I have longer arms and the sleeves aren’t too short. It has well placed pockets and nice zippers. Couldn’t be happier."

— Klayton P. (5/5)

Q&A

Scale of 1-10 how quiet is the coat Compared to the Proximity (9) and Mt Pro (7)
The Kutana Gale Force Hooded Jacket will be similar in noise to the Mountain Pro. The Mountain Pro might be slightly quieter, but they are pretty close
How loud is the out material? Could this be used for bow hunting whitetails?
We wouldn't recommend the Gale Force for bow hunting. We would recommend the Encounter & Proximity instead: https://www.kuiu.com/blogs/layering-system/whitetail-deer-hunting-layering-system
Kutana Gale Force Hooded Jacket. I've read the reviews and size information. According to your size charts, I am a Large at 6' 195 lbs. I purchased your 125 and 200 shirts in size large and they fit perfect. With that in mind, do I need to order a XL to have room for base and mid layer clothing under the Kutana Gale Force Jacket or does it come cut to allow for that already? I do not want it baggy but certainly do not want to be bound up in a fit that is too tight either. Thanks for your advice.
You'll want to take your measurements and order based off of the size chart on the product page to ensure the best fit. This is cut to accommodate a base and mid layer underneath.
Does this jacket allow u to zip off or zip in the hood ?
The hood is fully attached. It cannot be removed.
