Reviews

New favorite

"Very warm and quiet the pockets and zippers are just right great design and quality probably my favorite coat now. My personal experience with figuring out sizing I wear xxl in all the t-shirts and base layer stuff but I also wear them stand alone and like a little loose fit I ordered coat in xxl way to big exchanged for xl fits perfect if I was not layering a large might even be ok with just a t-shirt I'm not a big reviewer guy but this coat is worth my time"

Excellent jacket – very comfortable and versatile

"I finally had the chance to try the Proximity Hooded Insulated Jacket in the field, and I’m really impressed. It is extremely comfortable, offers plenty of room for layering, and keeps me warm without restricting movement. One thing to note: the jacket runs quite large. I ordered a 4XL, but I would go one size down next time. Very happy with this purchase. I would definitely consider ordering another one in a different camo pattern, this time in a 3XL!"

— Tamás S. (5/5)

Really like the coat, quiet

"Really like the coat, quiet and warm. Normally wear a large but went with a XL for extra layering in cold to frigid weather. Glad I did. Only slight knock is the sleeve cuffs are pretty tight around wrists. This seems to be a common trait as my other KUIU coat is the same. Not a problem if your mid-layers have thumb holes. Definitely a a good purchase."

— MICHAEL S. (5/5)

Size Matters

"Super light, warm, and breathable, but will take up some room in your pack, so have it available. This is a "put on just before you climb into your stand" item. You can't wear it to walk in, or you'll be sorry you did!!! I originally got a 2XL, but I exchanged it for a roomier in the shoulders 3XL so I could draw my bow easier and hold at full draw longer. The tradeoff with that is that the 3XL allows small pockets of cold air that the 2XL wouldn't have allowed. I use the Kenai Vest as a sub-layer, so the larger size was the right choice for me. Please weigh all that before you buy, but like all great KUIU gear, it can be exchanged at no extra charge within 30 days."

— Scott M. (5/5)

Great mid-season jacket

"Impressed, as usual. This is a great quality jacket that has the versatility with layering to blend through multiple temp ranges. Fit is perfect for me. I’m 6’2” and 215 lbs. I can’t wait to get this in the field next week."

— James H. (5/5)

Love this new camo, fits

"Love this new camo, fits incredible, comfortable, quiet and warm! My only complaint, not even really a complaint. I was kind of sad I didn’t get at least one Kuiu sticker to put on the meat freezer with my order. I spent a fair amount on the new camo and thought maybe they’d toss one or two in. But, just a petty wish! Incredible gear! Super happy with it."

— Matthew D. (5/5)

Great for Archery

"I picked up this jacket for late season archery. I use a thumb button and really like this jacket for how quiet it is. It's still bulky enough that I have to unzip the jacket to shoot properly, but it fits nice. It will require additional layers on those really cold hunts for someone up north, but I'm happy with how comfortable and quiet it is."

— Darrell B. (5/5)

Great item

"Very well made and great quality jacket with great camo in veros for hardwoods. Warm, very quiet soft fleece, true size but has room for base and mid layer. Easy remove hood. Great zippers that are quiet. Very happy with it."

— sam n. (5/5)

Great jacket and pants

"Ordered proximity jacket and pants. I’m 6’1” 225lb and went off what the Kuiu sizing charts on the website said. Both fit great with enough room to layer but are not bulky and I can shoot my bow easily. They are very quiet when moving around and are very warm. I am happy with this purchase and should have them for a long time."

— Ben f. (5/5)

Great Peice

"I absolutely love Kuiu gear, have a lot of peices of geer. This coat seems great. I wore it with the 290 fleece under it for a morning bow hunt where the low was prob. 28 or so. My core stayed warm. Sitting dead still for 3+ hrs and staying warm isn't an easy task in temps in the 20's. Very quiet and easy to move. If you plan on layering a Kuiu jacket, i would always size up. What i hate about kuiu and there great gear, they wont let someone review there gear after using it for any amount of time. Outside of this email they send you, you cant review it. So they ask you to review stuff usually with very little or no use at all. That is a majorly biased system! Let a guy go back after a yr or two and review stuff. it would make the reviews carry a lot more weight. Thats my rant"

Q&A

Would you consider this a durable jacket?I find myself going through some thick brush, I would hate to tear it up.
It is a great jacket, but it is not designed for going through thick brush
How about returns for another size? Who pays?
We offer free exchanges within our 30 day return/ exchange window for domestic orders
Are the inside of the sleeves “slick” or fleece like?
The sleeves will have a slick feel on the inside
Why does it state that the jacket, if picked as a size small and color Ash, Product Not Available in California and New York? It shows out of stock or ok to ship in any other size or color so, not sure if that’s a mistake or another one of those California “Huh?!”s I don’t really get shocked by anymore.
Unfortunately, legislation in your state prohibits the shipping/purchasing of certain products. If you have any additional questions or would like assistance finding a comparable/similar product, please feel free to contact us at 1-800-648-9717
How water resistant is this jacket?
It is water resistant, but if you are in a decent storm you would need to put a true rain jacket over the top
Is this coat burrs resistant?
The Proximity is an extremely warm and quiet jacket, but it is not ideal for going through thicker terrain and can pick up some burrs
