Q&A

Can I buy the hood for this jacket? I was given this as a gift but the hood was not with it.

We unfortunately do not stock extra hoods at this time, but would be happy to pass this along the team so that they are aware there is interest!

I purchased a size xl proximity jacket and feel like it's a bit too big for me. I'm 5'11" 200 and it's just a bit baggy in the belly area and a bit long. I feel like it will get in the way unless I have 2 sweatshirts underneath. if I wash with hot water and dry with heat will it shrink at all or do I need to exchange for a large?

I would recommend purchasing the Large to compare the two side by side and return whichever does not fit best within our 60 day return window. If the Large is too small then you could try shrinking the XL, but I would not recommend that as the first option.

What would be a good mid layer to wear under this, that could also be used as an outer layer in early to mid season northeast tree stand hunting?

We recommend either the Peloton 240 Full Zip or the StrongFleece Hybrid 260 Full Zip Hoodie

I am 1.72 cm tall and weigh 60 kg. The circumference of my chest is around 90 cm with the T-shirt. I want to wear the Kuiu Proximity Jacket as an outer layer. What size do I need?

You'll want to order size S based on your measurements

Any special washing instructions? What do you recommend for the Proximity Pants and Jacket? Thanks.

This can be machine washed in cold water on a normal cycle, and tumble dried on low heat.

How high does the collar come up on the face? Is it like the element jacket because I have you to reference. If a collar is to high it effects my anchor with my release aid. I learned the hard way with a different coat.

The collar height is 2.5"
