Reviews

Really like this hoodie so

"Really like this hoodie so far. It’s been great for early and mid season hunting, and I haven’t had a chance to test it in late-season conditions yet. It’s comfortable and seems very durable based on the amount of use I’ve gotten out of it so far. I’m built pretty solid, and the 2XL fits me really well. It gives me a good balance between a loose and athletic fit."

— Ryder M. (5/5)

Great Warm Weather Hunting Cover

"Fits good, breathes well, great sun protection, durable. Wore on warm hunt (85 F), did a lot of belly crawling, no holes, no sunburn. Worth it."

— Kyle W. (5/5)

This was a great layer

"This was a great layer for the West Coast archery elk opener. The camo pattern disappears in the thick coastal rainforest. It worked for keeping warm in the mornings and protected from the sun in the afternoons. The XL also fits perfect, great length for a 6'-3", 200lb person."

— Samuel S. (5/5)

Great for Texas summer heat

"I'm 6'2" w pretty athletic build at 200 lbs and the XL is perfect. Just roomy enough and nice feeling, breathable fabric."

— Lee H. (5/5)

Perfect

"I’m a fly fishing guide through the summer and it can be in the 100 degree range and this layer keeps the sun off and me cooler. Holds up to all the rowing the raft and drys super quick. It’s a great layer and one I wear every day on the river. I’m 6’1” and 195 pounds and it’s fits great"

— Max J. (5/5)

Nice shirt

"Big fan of the shirt! Comfortable in the heat. I didn’t want it to look painted on so I got a size up and it’s a little big so that’s my bad. Though the forearms are a little tight. My only issue is after 2 hikes and 2 washes some of the stitches are coming out in one of the arms. Which is a bummer. Still a big fan just must have popped a stitch somewhere or it came like that who knows."

— Clinton M. (4/5)

Don't sweat it - you need this hoodie!

"Great, lightweight hoodie. I'll be using it in the field on an antelope hunt in a couple of weeks. I have no doubts that it'll get the job done."

— Alex Z. (5/5)

Great Fishing Shirts

"Great quality hoodie. Fit is spot on, and material wears extremely well even through repeated creekside bushwhackings. I use these for fly fishing in the eastern US, so it would be great to see them in the new Veros pattern for sure."

— Glenn G. (5/5)

Great sun hoody

"Typical Kuiu quality. Light. Seams are flat and feel great. Looks designed to last for a long time. Will report back after use but expect the same great quality from other Kuiu gear I have such as the Merino 120 hoodie and the Peleton 240 full zip."

— Jeff K. (5/5)
