Reviews

I have just about bought

"I have just about bought every product I think. I was talking to my buddy Matt Wilson who knows you guys well was going over some of the new products coming in this year. 1 I wish you made the 1800 where the pro frame would hook to it so the bag could be rolled up and used as a day pack at camp where I would be able to stick it in my 6800 Pro. 2 the bio harness is not compatible for a chest rig holster. And now you guys are changing out the packs I bought my pack. It took me a little while cause it’s expensive lol Now y’all changed out the frame right when I get it. I like all your gear, very comfortable breathable for multiple climates but if you ever come out with a new pattern of camouflage, I would mix the Verde with the Velo. It would be perfect for deer hunting out of tree stands."

"Fits well"

— Edward S. (5/5)

Best head covering out there!

"I love this thing. Fits well for my medium sized noggin and great for breathing and unobscured views. I like this more than the neck gator; as it stays put and keeps my whole head, neck and face warm."

— Justin H. (5/5)

Best little head, face, neck warmer in northern Wyoming!

"I gave this as a Christmas gift to a lineman who works at times in blowing wind and temp that reach -20° weather. He says it’s the best winter cover for his head, face and neck that he’s owned. And he’s owned several. He’s thanked me several times for the gift."

— Geri L. (5/5)

Unsatisfied

"This mask isn't as portrayed in the description. Very thin and light weight. Would work great for mild weather but not cold."

— Carson D. (1/5)

Balaclava

"It is what it is. . super thin, early season."

— Thomas A. (3/5)

Good, but loose fitting.

"I love all the Kuiu products I have. This is super comfortable to wear and provides some good cold protection but the fit around the mouth/ nose is a little too loose fitting for my liking. Great otherwise"

— Mike D. (4/5)

My Kuiu gear

"Top Quality and super rugged. I have short legs and the availibility of different inseams makes pants fit perfect. Kuiu validates the saying "buy once, cry once". Keep up the good work Kuiu."

— Leonard T. (5/5)

Balaclava

"This Balaclava is ok. I only used it one. The only issue is if you wear glasses and have the Balaclava over your nose. Your glasses will fog. I pulled it it down under my nose and it seemed to work ok."

— Robert I. (3/5)

Great value

"At first I was worried this balacava would be too thin as I compared it to my old wool NATO one. Instead this was very warm and very comfortable, not itchy like traditional wool. I really like the breathing holes. This was a great value."

— Westley W. (5/5)
