Reviews

Get it!

"You hardly notice you’re wearing such a warm jacket because it’s incredibly comfortable. The drawcords at the waist and hem allow you to adjust the fit, keeping the cold out when needed or giving you more freedom of movement while on the go. The fleece lining around the collar feels great, and the extended hood provides extra protection from raindrops and the elements. The outer material also seems very resistant to abrasion. I’m genuinely impressed. This is exactly the jacket I’ve been looking for for a long time!"

Great jscjet

"Bought this just before going on elk hunt in Oregon. Kept the wind out and enjoyed the warmth. Of course the right layering is a must. No rain or snow, so didn’t get to test the waterproof factor"

— Steven B. (5/5)

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)

Good equipment. Works well in

"Good equipment. Works well in harsh conditions, without restricting movement. Normally I wear an XL but a 2x was required with this one"

Kutsna Gail force hooded jacket

"Fits perfect . Can’t wait to try it out on my Arizona Elk hunt this December."

— Steven P. (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)

Kutana Gale Force

"Outstanding jacket. Performed well on recent cold weather mule deer hunt. Needed to size up to do the laying that I wanted."

— Jeffrey N. (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.
