The KUIU Waterfowl System
When we set out to build a waterfowl line-up, our design initiative wasn’t to build something to rival what was already on the market. So what were our design goals? Launch the industry’s best damn waterfowl system on our first try—with gear that performs like there is no competition. We wanted to build something better and set a new industry standard—like what we did with mountain hunting and whitetail.
It started with a clean slate and input from the most hardcore waterfowl hunters in North America. With their demands top of mind, we took our own experienced know-how and combined forces with Toray’s textile experts and the best wader manufacturer under the sun, Simms Fishing.
We engineered new materials and leveraged some of our already proven textiles and combined them with everything the waterfowler needs. The result is indeed the most well thought out skin-to-shell system on the market.
Whether you’re waist deep in a flooded river bottom, eyes up over a frozen cornfield, or braving whitecaps on a coastal shoreline—we’ve got the gear for it. We’ve been quietly testing and proving it, and it’s ready for you.
PARAGON STORM SHELL
Designed as waterproof, windproof, and insulated parka and bib system for the most miserable conditions you’ll ever encounter—all-out downpours, blizzards, howling winds, and freezing temperatures. Paragon is built with a waterfowl specific feature set making it perfect for field hunting.
- Durable 4-layer waterproof & windproof outer shell
- Reinforced durability paneling
- Sektor™ stitch-free woven baffles
- Fiberball® high-loft synthetic insulation
“Some of the best waterfowl hunting days we have in Northern Montana are when the weather is nasty—the kind of conditions that most hunters stay home from because it’s too cold. I’ve never been more comfortable in the worst conditions than I have wearing the Paragon Parka and Bib.” - Robbie Dockter
HD FLEX STORM SHELL
Designed as an ultra-durable waterproof rain jacket for the waterfowl hunter, the HD Flex Storm Shell Jacket is equipped with premium 4-layer waterproof material, purpose-driven features, and an articulated design to keep you dry and comfortable in the toughest conditions.
- 4-layer waterproof, puncture resistant, & highly durable stretch fabric
- 2-way adjustable drop-away style hood
- Upper hand pockets with Sherpa fleece lining
- Cargo pockets with magnetic snap closure & drainage holes, suitable for shells
- Watertight neoprene cuffs with hook & loop closure
“I really love the pocket layout. The lower shell pockets hold full boxes of shells, and the hand warmer pockets are super warm—I like how they’re raised and accessible while wearing waders. The shorter length is also a great match for use with waders. For how durable the fabric is, it’s exceptionally flexible. I used this jacket in sideways rain and I stayed bone dry.” - John English
FLYWAY INSULATED HOODED JACKET & VEST
Designed as an ultra-warm insulated jacket for the waterfowl hunter, the Flyway Jacket is equipped with stitch-free Sektor® insulation baffles, high-loft Fiberball® synthetic insulation, purpose-driven features, and an articulated design so that you keep warm and comfortable in cold, wet, and windy conditions.
- Back-cinch adjustable hood with elastic bound front
- Upper hand pockets for use with waders - magnetic closure, Sherpa fleece lining
- Lower hand pockets - magnetic closure, Sherpa fleece lining
- Watertight cuffs
- Pit zip ventilation
“The Flyway Insulated Jacket stood up to cold sea duck hunts and countless long sits next to the frozen ground in layout blinds. Dexterity is important while operating a camera, loading a shotgun, and running a call, so I would have to say the Sherpa fleece-lined chest pockets were my most favored feature in this jacket. All in all, the system was a key factor in taking ‘bad weather’ out of the equation.” - Conor Olstad
STRONGFLEECE 290 WF FULL ZIP
This heavyweight full-zip is versatile as a standalone outer layer or as a mid-layer for cold conditions. It provides hard-faced durability and water resistance—attributes not typically found in synthetic fleece tops—along with warmth, breathability, and quick drying performance.
- Full zip with chin guard for added coverage
- Articulated raglan sleeve for added comfort
- Continuous underarm panel for reduced chafing & lift
- Drop back hem with cinch adjustment
- High stretch cuffs
“The StrongFleece 290 was my go-to last hunting season. The fleece was warm no matter what the conditions were, it’s form fitting to provide easy maneuvering in the field, and the full-zip allowed me to dump heat when necessary. In the heart of the season, I wore it every day for a 45-day streak, only taking an afternoon every once and a while to wash. It held up against the conditions, dirt, blood, and everything between. I highly recommend it no matter your pursuit.” - Conor Olstad
PARAGON STORM SHELL HAND MUFF
Built from a waterproof outer shell, 3DeFX+ insulation, and a Sherpa fleece lined interior, the Paragon Hand Muff keeps your hands protected, warm, and ready in extreme cold conditions. After a brutal day of wet weather, with its full-length zipper you can easily turn it inside out for quicker drying from the water collected from your hands.
- Adjustable strap with quick detach buckles
- Fitted waterproof wrist closure to prevent heat loss
- Interior hand warmer pouch pockets
- Zip-open for quick & easy drying
“It’s perfect for those cold, wet, and windy mornings when you need to get your hands out of the elements. My favorite feature is the zipper on the bottom that allows the muff to be flipped inside out. I hung it up overnight and it was completely dry the next morning. Nothing worse than putting your hands in a wet hand warmer the next morning.” - Nick Martin
STRONGFLEECE 290 LAYERING PANT
This heavyweight fleece layering pant excels as a comfortable jogger, or worn under an insulated pant/bib, rain pant, or wader in cold conditions. It provides hard-faced durability and water resistance, along with a fusion of warmth, breathability, and quick drying performance.
- Elastic stretch waistband with drawcord
- Open hand pockets with durable edge
- Articulated knees & gusseted crotch for unrestricted mobility
- Zippered hip vents
- High stretch layered stirrup cuffs
“They’re comfortable for the ride to wherever you’re hunting, and they layer perfectly under the HD Flex Waders or the Super Down PRO pants. You don’t even notice the stirrups while wearing them around town, but they’re a nice touch with waders on.” - Robbie Dockter
VITAL PRO INSULATED BASE LAYER
Built for the coldest conditions when a typical base layer just won’t cut it, Vital PRO answers with body-mapped 80-gram high-stretch insulation for targeted warmth and strategically paired single-layer paneling where added breathability is needed.
- Body-mapped insulation
- Peached soft-touch finish
- Odor resistant
- Moisture wicking
“These are the best cold-weather base layers I’ve ever worn. The fit is perfect and even though I was a bit unsure about placement of the insulated vs uninsulated, I now believe the placement of both are ideal as my range of motion wasn’t hindered and of course the warmth where needed was spot on.” - Kyle Wieter
PRO HD FLEX ZIP WADER
Built from an all-new Toray® 4-layer stretch fabric, it stands as the first-ever breathable waterfowl hunting wader designed with functional stretch from chest to boot. This fully equipped wader is designed with a front zipper for easy access, bonded knee pads for unmatched protection, and insulated boots with our patented mud release tread.
- Functional stretch chest to boot
- TIZIP® premium waterproof zipper
- 7mm EVA foam articulated knee pads
- Fleece-lined neoprene insulated boot
- Patent pending self-cleaning EVA soles
“Developing a new fully equipped wader was more than just adding a zipper and knee protection. We engineered an all-new stretch fabric that adds a level of comfort we’ve never experienced with other waders. The new PRO HD Flex is truly top of the line.” – Shaun Ayers
HD FLEX WADER
Designed as an ultra-durable waterproof boot-foot wader for the waterfowl hunter, the HD Flex Wader is equipped with premium 4-layer waterproof material, purpose-driven features, and an enhanced boot design to keep you warm, dry, and comfortable in the toughest conditions.
- 4-layer waterproof, puncture resistant, & highly durable stretch fabric
- Reinforced paneling for durability - front of lower leg, knee, & seat
- Drop-in shell holder pocket & fleece-lined hand pockets
- 7mm neoprene boot construction, vulcanized rubber overlay, & grid fleece lining
- Patent pending self-cleaning EVA soles
“I’ve worn through a lot of waders and I was surprised by how warm, comfortable, and durable the KUIU waders are. My favorite part is the boot design—the fit is perfect, the traction is amazing, and the mud doesn’t stick to them. I wore them with the Layering Pant, Super Down PRO pant, and only one pair of socks, and in -28F temps with a -56F wind chill, I never got cold.” - Robbie Dockter
HD MUD BOOT
Providing calf-high protection from water, mud, and cold, the waterproof HD Mud Boot is a neoprene insulated slip-on designed for marshy conditions. Designed for heavy use in muddy conditions, the patent-pending boot tread features optimally shaped and spaced lugs that disengage mud, so you don’t get weighed down.
- Patent pending self-cleaning EVA soles
- 18 in / 46 cm height
- Grid-fleece liner for comfort and improved airflow
- Kick-off heel tab for easy boot removal
- Simple to put or fold down on with reinforced pull-on loops
”The HD Mud Boot is superior to others in so many ways. These boots will keep your feet warm and dry in all conditions. I’ve tried a lot of rubber boots, and these are by far the best I’ve ever worn. The fit is great, you don’t get slippage in these like other rubber boots, and you have great traction without the mud build up.” - Matthew Snyder

Let it float beside you, because nothing in it can get wet. This pack is purpose built with TPU coated waterproof fabric, welded construction, and air-and-watertight zippers for unmatched waterproof protection.
