Reviews

Great cold weather pants

"Pants fit great and have good movement. Suspenders are well built and better than other high end hunting pants I own. The pants are very warm and the side zippers will help with dumping heat while hiking in. A high quality product that should keep me warm this winter when it is -20C when I’m out looking for whitetail"

Best I've ever owned

"This is the best pant and jacket set I've ever owned!!...super comfortable....very light weight...and super quiet.....can't wait to wear them out west chasing mulies in a month!!!....keep making amazing products.....I'll never wear another brand!!!!!"

— Sean H. (5/5)

Great well built hunting pants

"I love them. I’ve tried them on and they seem really quiet. I like the suspenders I’m a smaller guy and these fit just right. I used the size from the old pair I used to wear that weren’t kuiu. I bought the pants this year and will purchase the jacket next year. Little too much to spend all at once."

— John N. (5/5)

Proximity line - prefect for a Moose hunt

"The Proximity line was perfect for a Maine moose hunt. It was very quiet walking thru the woods and warm. When I got hot from walking miles they the woods, the ventilation system in the armpits and trouser pocket areas quickly helped cool me off. My only suggestion, include an option to buy a small packable brush to remove the briars from the clothing."

— Michael A. (5/5)

Two sizes too small!

"Get them big. I looked at the size chart, which steered me to a size 32. Not close. I’m waiting for the 36’s to arrive eagerly. The 32’s were a fantastic item, just didn’t fit. not even close. Kuiu, perhaps address that size chart??"

— Erik W. (5/5)

Proximity pant

"I'm a short guy 5'4" 135lbs and always looking for hunting clothes in smalls. I have a 29" waist line these pants in 30x31 fit great! Just enough room for a heavy layer underneath without a bunch of extra material. I have the proximity jacket which I love and now have a lethal combo of top and bottom. I'm a saddle Hunter in PA and NY plus I'm 70 years old so being really warm and lightweight makes a huge difference for me. Bonus is the suspenders because I like to Go in with my saddle on and with the suspenders I feel no sag or droop."

— Charles K. (5/5)

Absolutely love them fit and

"Absolutely love them fit and comfort wise. Haven’t gotten a chance to use them yet as my hunt isn’t until December. My only complaint with KUIU is that I can never go into the store and not buy something 😂"

— Elbert P. (5/5)

Proximity pant

"Great insulated pant. I’ve only gotten to use once. Wore them over the attack pant on 38 degree morning and was very comfortable. Got the shorter length and like them."

— Dennis H. (5/5)

pants are extremely comfortable and

"pants are extremely comfortable and warm would definitely recommend to anyone on the fence about it"

— Keeven R. (5/5)

Finally quiet pants

"Great pants ! Unsurprisingly because Kuiu is the best and always manages to get it right. I’m a traditional bowhunter, so quiet is an absolute necessity. Finally we have exactly what we needed !"

— Anthony O. (5/5)

Q&A

Around when the the proximity set of pants and jacket be on sale. And when will all the sizes be restocked?
We are planning to receive the next shipment in July. Unfortunately, we are not informed when items will go on sale, but recommend you sign up for our newsletter to stay informed of all sales and promotions we run
Are these pants fine to wear in the snow/rain?
Yes they can be worn in the snow/rain, but they are water resistant, not waterproof and will not replace true rain gear
Are these available with 46” waist? Or will they be?
We have not yet been informed of additional sizes coming out, but we would be happy to inform the team that there is interest!
5’10” 210lbs. Usually were a 36x 32. What size would you recommend for me with a decent base layer weight on for later season? (Proximity pant)
You'll want to order using our size chart. Order the size that corresponds with your largest measurement to ensure the best fit. https://www.kuiu.com/pages/mens-find-your-fit
What is the best way to wash these?
Machine wash cold, normal cycle. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach, iron, or use fabric softeners.
Is this line to much for spending a lot of time walking? Temps in the teens to low 30s are common. If so what might be a better option?
This can be used for walking, but a more durable and breathable option depending on your level of exertion would be the Kenai Pants.
