[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 2911245, member: 113623"] Most of the Kuiu stuff is for active as opposed to stationary hunting. If you are hiking up a mountain its great, if you are sitting in a stand then you will freeze. That being said they have tried to broaden their horizons, but a bit too far and have gotten away from their core stuff which made them good in the first place. Their prices have gone up and their deals have gone down. Needless to say, there are plenty of other fantastic brands out there that don't charge as much. For the OP, REI outlet, Beyond Clothing's outlet section, Kryptek, Born Primitive etc are all competitive options. If you want to stay warmer while stationary and there is no/light precipitation, putting your hard or soft shell under your down/insulator layer actually helps. I thought it was counter intuitive at first, but the guides on Shasta recommended it for hikers during break while attempting to summit. [/QUOTE]
