Reviews

Perfect Squirrel Hunting Jacket

"I know a lot of folks buy premium gear like KUIU for hunting out West or tackling more demanding hunts, but squirrel hunting is my passion, and I want THE perfect gear for the job. The fit is perfect without being bulky. It’s ideal for sitting, stalking, or still-hunting squirrels. It also works great for hunting from a canoe, where you need a full range of motion to blast at tree rats."

— John R. (5/5)

Excellent Quality and Craftsmanship

"Excellent quality! The stitching is precise, and the material feels durable and premium. The jacket is well-made, with great attention to detail. Very satisfied with the quality and craftsmanship. Highly recommend!"

— Yerbol A. (5/5)

I’ve been hunting in the

"I’ve been hunting in the mountains of Tajikistan, where conditions can be extremely windy, cold, and unpredictable. This jacket has performed exceptionally well. It keeps me warm, provides excellent wind protection, and remains lightweight and comfortable during long days in the mountains. The quality, durability, and fit are outstanding. Definitely one of the best pieces of hunting gear I’ve used. Highly recommended!"

Axis Hybrid Jacket.

"I have not had a chance to where it hunting. But I purchased one of your axis hybrid vests before you did away with them. And I love it. It is super warm I wore it in the snow the last 2 years and was sweating and warm. I can't wait to try out the coat. I think you need to bring back the vests it would be a really smart move on Kuiu part."

— Dustin L. (5/5)

Excellent customer service

"Fit was a little snug. Ordered large and returned for xl. Return so far has been excellent and waiting on shipment of xl. Quality seemed excellent. Will review when tested in field."

— Ken K. (5/5)

Great quality, poor variety of fitment.

"Excellent quality. My only drawback is that at 6’2” and 170lbs, a medium is barely long enough and has a lot of wiggle room. A large is plenty long but fits like a trash bag. KUIU doesn’t seem to excel at fit in items for slimmer individuals. It’s such a shame as the quality is top shelf. For such a premium price I’d really like to see more fitment options. I’ve spent well over $1,000 with them and find things that fit good, but not great. Which is unfortunate at this premium."

I bought another

"As i Love this jacked for my hunts in the camo colors - I now ordered another in Black for the everyday use. Looks absolutely great - sporty-cool. Perfect Fall jacket for the Swiss Alps"

— Gian S. (5/5)

Warm lightweight jacket

"Great fit. Most of the time when I buy a size large everything fits but the sleeves are short. Not this jacket, the sleeves are plenty long. Love this jacket."

— Adam L. (5/5)

Nice jacket

"The jacket is warm and comfortable but I expected more for the price. It certainly isnt the quietest. Ill bring it with me in case it gets super cold but probably wont wear it while actually hunting. I would put this as a good value if it was $200. Didn't feel like I got my money's worth at $350. I wear XL in most brands, including Kuiu but it seems to run a little big, which can be a good thing so you can layer under it. Probably wont be layering any orange on top of it."

— Randon S. (3/5)

Not quiet but I love the fit

"I wouldn't bow hunt with it inside of 40yd but if you're 100yd+, the sound won't be an issue. I have bigger shoulders and there's plenty of room for layering. I could probably size down to a large if my shoulders and back were just a bit more narrow. The jacket has an athletic cut to it with sinches at the waist and two on the hood (nice touch on the hood). Will likely buy in more colors"

Q&A

The layering portion notes it can fit over a light mid-layer fleece. Would you need to size up with wearing a StrongFleece 275 or 235 instead of say a Peloton 200? Thanks.
You should be just fine to stick with your normal size when wearing the StrongFleece items as well
Is it nosey
The Axis Thermal Hybrid Hooded Jacket is not too loud, but it does have some noise. If you are looking for a silent piece we would highly recommend the Proximity Hooded Jacket.
is the hood removable
The hood is not removeable.
Does does pack down like a puffy for storage in a pack?
The Axis Thermal does not pack down like the down jacket options.
Would the Valo jacket match my Ash guide pant? Thank you
Yes.
Is the insulated sections modeled after the Element jacket? If yes, then is the camo portions of the garment modeled after the Axis Hybrid Softshell Jacket? If yes to both, then is this a combination of the Axis jacket and the Element jacket?
That's correct- the face fabric and insulation on the insulated portions of the Axis Hybrid Thermal are the same as the Elements.
