[QUOTE="willfrye027, post: 2074479, member: 114992"] I’ve got a few down pieces from Kuiu. One of the ultralight jackets, one of the heavier pro jackets, and the ultralight pants. They’ve seen a lot of use backpacking over the last few seasons as well as casual wear. I can tell you the down waterproofing is truly excellent and prevents the loss of loft when things get moist. If you’ve ever had an untreated down jacket wet out, you know how much warmth is lost and how long it takes to dry it out! september 2019 I did a rifle mule deer backpacking trip solo and had pretty nasty weather..cold into the teens at night, extreme winds at times, and some precipitation. I was deep from the trailhead and pretty ultralight in order to be able to bring a deer out of that country in one trip. My Kuiu down was the only insulation and despite getting wet multiple times it never lost its loft or warmth. If you are a backpacker, this is top notch gear that is worth the coin IMO. Otherwise it’s a little pricey for hunting from the truck. It’s expensive because of the weight savings more than anything else..which is substantial. [/QUOTE]
