Infused with voodoo magic and VERY warm!
I've loved Kuiu ever since I bought a Yukon rain set for a hunting trip to Alaska. I own a lot of their gear (their Glomits are awesome!) but I've never owned a puffy jacket before - theirs or any other company. I've heard great things about them, but I was skeptical. Well, when this jacket went on sale for Black Friday I figured, why not give it a shot. Package arrived quickly and I actually laughed out loud when I took this jacket out of the box. There was NO WAY this jacket, which is as light as a t-shirt, could be warm. I couldn't have been more wrong! I've worn this jacket nearly every day since. It's replaced my daily jacket (which starts with a "C" and rhymes bar heart). I have two complaints. One, would love an interior chest pocket. Two, how do I keep my girlfriend from stealing this!? I seriously can't tell you how amazed I am that such a light jacket could be so warm, there has got to be some sort of voodoo magic in this thing. I promise you this, I'll be taking this on every hunt/trip from here on out because I can wear this around camp but also layer this under my traditional outerwear. It also packs down small and weighs next to nothing so will be a great emergency layer on those trips where you can't simply walk back to the house when you get cold. I was torn on which size to get, but at 5'9" and 175 pounds, this jacket is perfect for wearing over a hooded sweatshirt and under 2 of my other jackets if I really need to keep warm. I'm now a firm believer of puffy jackets and can't wait for the next sale so I can get one for my girlfriend, can ya'll make this in pink or purple!?
