Reviews

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

Is this jacket quiet enough for the tree stand?
You could use this in a tree stand, but it wouldn't be our first recommendation. The link below highlights our Proximity and Encounter lines, which were developed for tree stand hunting: https://www.kuiu.com/collections/whitetail-deer-hunting-gear-list
Is the Kutana gale force coat to heavy for alot of walking in Montana, we usually hike 15 miles a day, just don't want something too heavy
This is an insulated hard shell jacket, but it shouldn't be too heavy for hiking long distances.
