I own all three. Great video. 100% agree on your assessment. Ultra down saved me last year from a freezing night out. We shot an elk right at the end of evening legal light. 11,000 feet above sea level in 2 feet of snow. Ended up staying out all night without a tent. Busted out my down gear, pants included and stayed pretty warm. Plus I was able to share some other layers with my hunting buddy that was woefully unprepared to stay out all night.

Great video guys! Thanks for being willing to get your stuff wet and give us that great in depth review 😀

Great video. I would love to see comparisons between similar kuiu/sitka/first lite gear

This is the video I have been waiting for!!

Thank you fellas. Really want an insulating outer layer that I can pack into the whitetail woods, but I do some up close and personal bow-hunting. I want the warmth of a puffy, but the noise scares me. I appreciate the comparison!

HEY THANKS Im in the market purchasing Kuiu clothing. It really help me!

Thank you Sir 💯👍 great job

Very helpful. I wasn't planning on the Kenai until now. I'm a bow hunter too.

In my opinion the Kenai is one of the best pieces of gear KUIU makes.

@@huntinfool_official I was just going to say. "man, I kinda need all 3" as you said that LOL. Ok so...#`1. can you wear the Kenai over the Guide jacket? #2. YOu DO use the Pro in the tree stand and it's not too loud? # just a comment....man that Valo looks REALLY good in the snow. Far better than I would have thought. I was thinking about Verde for W SW Elk or East deer/turkey..but I might be able to get away with Valo for everything which is what I'd LOVE to be able to pull off.

Gotta mitigate that noise somehow. Come on, for that price tag…spray it with a fleece lining of sorts.

Great stuff. I bought the Kenai vest and love it as an active piece hiking. Now I am looking for a jacket to wear over the top when resting and camp. Honestly leaning towards the Stone Glacier Cirque since I am in the PNW and rain is a specific concern.

You guys need to do a review on the new BURNER parka and the Gale Force line. Great video

I think the person wearing the Carhart has the right idea

Great video is the keni ultra warm what temps would you be comfortable sitting in it for extended hours

Kenai ultra is the most comfortable jacket i have ever worn. Good warmth too until you drop into the 40's....

That doesn’t sounds that warm.

Dunno tho. I like using extra wool more than having additional puffys on

Would you test dukuseek heated hunting vest? Looking forward to prepare one for the coming hunting season.

Kenai for me

Any thought on the axis and guide .

compared to montbell plasma 1000 alpine down parka, SUPER DOWN ULTRA which is warmer?

Not sure if I missed it but I’m curious what the durability difference is between the super down and the kenai. Looking for a jacket that won’t get ripped to shreds immediately and would work good as a midlayer under a kutana gale force in cold weather

The Superdown Ultra is very fragile. The Kenai is a great mid-layer because it breathes but the new fabric they have been using seems to pill very quickly, and the Superdown Pro is more durable, but still not a piece you should walk through brush in.

just a reminder to everyone watching. The Kenai jacket outer fabric is uncoated to make it more breathable, however, the synthetic insulation inside is treated to be water resistant. When down gets wet it will lose all of its heat holding properties compared to the treated synthetic in the Kenai. If the Kenai synthetic insulation gets soaked, it will keep you warmer than soaked down.

How does the sizing fit? Kuiu says buy the same size as everything else you have, all the reviews say buy a size up...

How would the super down ultra performa as a mid layer for treestand bow hunting?

@huntinfool_official

2 жыл бұрын

Any time you run a down jacket as a mid layer you need to be careful that your outer layer is not too heavy. The ultra is going to compress easier than the Pro or Kenai which defeats the purpose of a down coat. I'd suggest going with the Kenai if it's for a mid layer.

I’d be curious to see in a survival situation how the super down ultra would perform. Let’s say an extreme down pour occurred or river dunk, and you were able to put on the coat on and seek shelter in a sleeping bag; would the coat help dry your body?

@huntinfool_official

Жыл бұрын

The Superdown Ultra (just like any down coat) is going to be far less effective when fully wet. Over time, the down treatment will wear off as well, so be cautious when using it as a survival piece if heavy rain or submersion is a concern.

Hi, What's your height and weight? What size did you pick for the Kenai?

Thoughts on the kutana gale force jacket?

We haven't used that one yet, but have been pretty impressed by most of their kutana line.

Great product but their sizing absolutely sucks for base and mid layers, Jackets seem to work.

Synthetics run smaller.... natural/Merino runs on size.
