Reviews

Great jacket - balances weight and durability

"After a lot of research I decided on the Kutana jacket. I hunt lower South Island in NZ so plenty of big hills to get up. I needed something that balances durability with weight and this jacket ticks both boxes. I am also a fan of pit zips to dump excess heat when climbing. I usually run a L but after looking at other peoples comments online decided on an XL to give me enough room for a puffer underneath."

— Luke P. (5/5)

Best of the Best

"I’ve owned rain gear from several high end brands over the years…some of them pretty good, but I’ve always found something to be lacking. Not with the Kutana! This is the best I’ve owned. The fit is perfect, it’s made of very durable material, and the overall quality is beyond my expectations. I ordered an XL top and L pant as this is my usual sizing so that I can layer underneath. It has a fitted feel, and still leaves room for some layering. Extremely happy with the purchase!"

— Casey M. (5/5)

Nice jacket

"I like the jacket. The design is well-thought out. The only minor complaint I have is that the fabric is pretty stiff. I am hoping that will improve with wear and washing. The way it is now, the corners at the top of the zippers stand straight up and poke me in the chin which is a little annoying."

— Ryan W. (3/5)

Happy Storm Shell Jacket

"This jacket lives up to its promises! I deliberately bought a larger size—I usually wear a M—and I'm very happy with the fit. This way, I can easily wear a fleece underneath it."

— Nik R. (5/5)

Nice to have the jacket with me on the trail.

"Great rain gear. Lightweight and sheds water well. I’m 6’ 200# and it fits just a pinch big, which feels about right as a layer to be able to allow for full range of movements in brush and timber on game trails."

— John W. (5/5)

Amazing Piece of Gear

"The perfect rain jacket. I have a bunch of Kuiu gear and this is the best item yet."

— Daniel M. (5/5)

Excellent fit. Much lighter than

"Excellent fit. Much lighter than my yukon. Easy to wear and the stretch is nice."

— Matthew M. (5/5)

Tough and packable

"Great jacket with full features and it will keep you dry. These do run small so if you plan on layering for later seasons size up. I had one that I sold due to it being too small for any insulation layers under. They have held up well for hard wet north Idaho hunts."

— Andrew E. (5/5)

Kutana Storm Shell

"Very nice jacket, keeps me 100% dry in all wet conditions. Would highly recommend."

Kutana Storm Shell Jacket

"Jacket exceeds expectations. I was in a 100 year rain event and remained dry. !"

Q&A

Many reported a pocket leak. Was this issue fixed?
Any issues with leaking have been resolved.
Curious if this jacket is loud when moving with it on? I bow hunt in Oregon and was wondering what jacket would provide the best water resistance / waterproof while not being loud when moving? Thank you
The Kutana Storm Shell Set is our best combination of lightweight/packable, but extremely durable, but it does have more noise than our other options. The Yukon TR is quieter and more durable than the Kutana and might be the better option for your needs
How quiet is this jacket in terms of walking through brush and when the fabric moves, like raising a gun to aim?
While all rain gear will have some noise, the Kutana Storm Shell is pretty quiet for being 100% waterproof. I personally use it all the time and am strictly a bow hunter for big game.
What would be the best application or product to bring back the waterproof ability for this jacket? Seems to start soaking up water after long periods in rainy weather. Jacket still dries very quickly however.
We recommend the Grangers Wash/Repel or the Grangers Repel Plus Spray.
