KUIUReviews of kuiu.com

I've been running KUIU gear for a while now. Their fabrics are lightweight but dont hold up well but it is warm. The fit is not dialed in and nothing I have tried has been the same measurement as described.

I was recommended for Whitetail, hunting by one of their experts to buy proximity. I will give it that it was light weight, but it does not hold up to any briars. Needless to say the front of the pants tore up the bottom under my butt, probably from coming in and out of a ladder stand wore out showing nothing but the insulation probably a 2 inch hole. I wasn’t sure how they would handle it so I contacted customer service in hopes that they would help me get a more appropriate pair of kuiu pants. They denied my claim with no offer of any compensation of any kind, I probably would’ve bought a different pair of pants that would’ve held up better for my conditions which is Whitetail hunting. I will no longer be a customer of KUIU THE PRODUCT IS PRETTY GOOD. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS TERRIBLE.

I really wanted to love the Axis Hybrid Jacket — the materials and construction feel excellent — but the fit is honestly a deal breaker. The shoulders and arms are cut like a pair of women’s spandex leggings: skin-tight, restrictive, and totally out of proportion to the rest of the jacket. For a brand marketed toward active hunters and mountain athletes, the fit makes no sense. What makes it worse is Kuiu’s response. They clearly know there’s a sizing issue with this piece, but they refused to exchange or refund it. No flexibility, no acknowledgment — just “that’s the fit.” For a premium-priced “performance” brand, I expected better support and a product that actually allows movement. Disappointed overall.

After 25 years I figured it was time to upgrade my gear and decided on KUIU. Purchased several items including, the Guide Pro Hooded Jacket and Peloton 200 Zip-T. The cuffs on the Guide Pro are very narrow, and very difficult to get your hands out of. It is rated for 'cold' weather, which it certainly is not. At least not on it's own. The zippers on both products are vert delicate, like something you would expect on a fine blouse, not hunting gear. Also, it is very suspicious that you are not able to review the products on their website. They have several reviews, but where did they come from? Even as a verified purchaser, I am not able to leave a review.

I have 3 issues with Kuiu.. the first problem is they do it stand behind their products… Just search the internet on this one for thousands of examples. 2nd, their sizing is wrong compared to most clothing manufacturers.. I wear a 36 pant and a 2x shirt usually. I spend a lot of time in the gym but I am not Arnold for sure. Their clothes are too tight in the joints unless you size way up. Then you are wearing a dress as a coat. Lastly.you buy 3 different items in the same pattern and guarantee one of them the colors will be different from the others. No, the elk don’t care. The point is you are paying premium price for something and the quality sucks.

Subpar products!!. $100 for a pair of hunt gloves, with zero heat resistance and the support staff was incredibly disrespectful and arrogant. He, in so many words, said I was not logical and negligent. Lack of warning tags on their products. Thank you NO thank you. Gonna stick with Sitka.

I was in Alaska last year with some friends. One of them was all about Kuiu. I am an experienced outdoorsman for 60 years. I've owned every brand and best up a lot of it. During our trip his Kuiu backpack ripped. I own Northface packs from 1975, Jansport, Kelty, Mountain Smith, Deuter etc. When I questioned him on it his reply was “ It has a life time guarantee!” “It was expensive!” When I compared it to the Military Day Pack I was using I was amazed on how poorly made his pack was. The stitching, the material and the innovation of the pack were inferior. I pressed him on what he paid and it was about 7 times what I paid for mine. He's a fool for assuming price equals quality. I did more research when I got home and he fits their marketing demographic perfectly-arrogance of the mind and overzealousness of perceived ability. I'll stick with Deuter and rational purchasing decisions based on my knowledge. He was also not aware that this brand is made in China. Caveat Emptorr!

Bought the super down ultra jacket from Kuiu even though I’ve had mixed success with their products in the past (too small for size, flimsy construction). From the moment I put the jacket on I was surprised at how noisy it was. Two years on it has not softened up. It is MUCH noisier than Patagonia and Rab puffy jackets that I wear around town and for skiing respectively. I have had an elk guide ask me to remove it on the trail because of how loud it is. Eventually I decided to return it. When I called customer service a rep told me “the jacket was only for sedentary use and that it said so on the website!” Wrong on both counts and frankly insulting that he would say something so ridiculous- KUIU gear is (supposed to be) specifically made for high exertion hunting! At any rate since returning the jacket I have heard nothing from them for 6 weeks other than “wait some more”. This company is a joke. Don’t buy their clothing- they don’t stand behind it!
