Reviews

Well made. Good design. Great.

"Its great. Very well designed. Hood great. Pockets great. Just long enough at the back. Side vents work well. I wanted a lightweight suit that is tough enough for crawling around on The Hill in Scotland and it stood up to that last week easily. Size: Wearing the XL I am 6’2” and 89kgs. I wore it with a Kuiu 1/4 zip base layer and simple 1/4 zip fleece midlayer and the fit was perfect. The fit down the forearm is snug. For colder weather if I wanted to wear a thicker base layer or an additional layer (which I often do) then an XXL would give more room."

Great Canadian fishing jacket

"Haven’t worn it yet in conditions for which I bought it, but already I can tell it will fit better than the high end competitors equivalent. Storm Shell is longer in the back and should eliminate rain getting in between the jacket and pants. Storm Shell construction seems fist rate and I am sure it will work well."

— Ray B. (5/5)

Same old greatness

"Very well made piece of gear, as per usual from Kuiu. I am 5/9 and 160 with 40 inch chest. This can layer over a puffy comfortably and seems like I can make it work for all but the hottest weather - for most of my climates, I prefer the durability over the lightest weight. I have never regretted any purchase from this company."

— J M. (5/5)

Great fit and quality!

"Love all my Kuiu products, this jacket included. The fit is great. I wanted a jacket for spring and fall rains that I could wear around the city. The fit is modern with the size I went. I ordered a large because I wanted it to be more trim fitting. If you’re my size 195, 6”2 and want to layer as a piece of gear for mountaineering I would order a size up. If you want a jacket as a standalone for cooler temperatures and rain, a large is perfect at my size."

— Andrew C. (5/5)

Packable Rain Jacket for Montana SAR Ops

"The jacket fits and feels great. The jacket is lightweight and the fabric is comfortable and not what I expected out of a rain shell. I have already had the opportunity to use it in some heavy rain, and it kept me dry and comfortable. The zippered vents helped manage body heat very well. I purchased the jacket for SAR operations in southcentral Montana, and so far this is exactly what I needed."

— Jake H. (5/5)

Kutana waterproof jacket

"I find the arms of jacket a little tight especially at wrists. I wore it over the Alpine soft shell on a wet cold day and it turned out to be much more comfortable than I expected. So all good really."

— Seamus M. (4/5)

Kutana Shell

"Picked it up in Denver, we had rain on the opening day of Colorad Elkd season. The jacket preformed exceptionally well. It was worth every penny it cost."

— owen H. (5/5)

Superb Product

"The coat is a extremely strong and comfortable coat, it also keeps me dry. Thank you KUIU for making excellent quality products."

— Mike S. (5/5)

Good mid weight rain jacket.

"Good mid weight rain jacket. Heavy enough to keep out the weather but light enough to carry around in the pack all day."

— Patrick F. (5/5)

Not sure yet…

"I have only worn it once in a moderate rain. It’s basically brand new and I went for a walk with a lightweight brown puffy jacket underneath and after a 3 mile walk I removed the raincoat and had some pretty wet spots so I’m not sure yet as I’m not sure that water was getting through or maybe I sweated a little but the spots were at seams so I’m skeptical but hopeful. I will try it again next rainy day and see what happens if I just stay out in the rain and don’t walk… I’m 5’6 and about 178 #, short and stout and the XL is still fairly tight w a lite puffy underneath. It is super lightweight which is great but only if it is actually fully waterproof. After next attempt I will modify my rating up if it keeps water out or down if it lets water in…"

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.
