Well, I can't hardly take it anymore. There is no way sitka is better than kuiu! What are you guys smoking?
Like I said before, I have both and use both. I've had Sitka pants tear out and develop holes in a month of use. Warranty? What warranty? I don't call having to pay for a repair in a one month old pair of pants a warranty... do you?
I abuse the crap out of my 2 yr old attack pants and have not had one issue. They are warmer when its cold and are cooler when its hot. They dry twice as fast as sitka's stuff. The Chugach raingear breaths way better than any goretex jacket on the face of this earth.
Now to be fair, I love my sitka kelvin jacket and vest and wouldn't give em up for nothing! I also like the optifade pattern, the stuff flat disappears in the sage.
I don't like kuiu merino shirts, the stuff is under sized and the sleeves are to short. But the sitka itches a little tiny bit. Core4 merino is the cats meow and is soft as a baby's butt! Damn near like wearing fleece.
To top it off Kuiu and Core4 is half the price of Sitka.
Good Gawd Almighty's .02 lol
