Well who else stocked up on the sale? I pulled the trigger on the yukon jacket and pant. We will see how much the duty bill is and still have to figure out how to siphon the finances out of the "us" account and into the "me" account so "she" doesn't get too upset... Other than that, I am excited to try em on!
I've got a pair of chugach shell pants. They perform really well - light breathable and pretty quiet but are in no way durable. If I was loaded, I'd just grab another pair each year but I ain't so I won't. Too bad.... That I'm not loaded!
Picked up some alpine pants.I usually wear fleece longjohns in cold weather so no need to have the pants insulated for me.

You will be lovin those Pants. Excellent gear. Have beat the heck out of mine on the knees, but they still work excellent. Seem to be getting a lot quicker with their shipping department. Placed an order in the 30% sale first thing Wed the 18th and was notified on Thurs morning that items had shipped already.
picked up a Kenai jacket,chinook pants, a Chinook jacket,the super cool otc socks, gaiters, Yukon gloves and a pair of Tiburon gloves all of there stuff I give full marks for,and quite frankly I like the dude's Moxy,kinda ballsy in this day and age to actually make a quality specialty item and only sell it thru his own means and not whore it out to ass-pro or whoresale or Cabeaners!
PIGS IS PIGS;BUT HOG'S IS HOGS!
Yukon Jacket and Yukon Pants, Icon hat = $670 USD. Subtract 30% = $469 USD = $641 CND.
Ordered on the first hour of the sale, arrived Wednesday afternoon with a $208 CBSA bill. HOLY SHEEP SHIT! I knew it would be bad from the last time I ordered but sweet baby jesus that is 30%! What the hell I thought Justin Trudeau was supposed make all my dreams come true!?!?!
So total invoice for rain jacket and paints and a ball cap is $850 CDN. Considering WSS had Sitka on for 30% (Cloudburst system is about $800 before discount) I would have been better off with Sitka the way the dollar is these days. Oh well I do LOVE the gear. It fits great and looks bullet proof. Much tougher than I thought it would be. WAY thicker than the Cloudburst too.
Most importantly of course is that it matches my attack pants, guide beanie and marino zip-t. If the animals ever saw me in mis-matched camo I would be so embarrassed. Not to mention they would see me coming 10 miles away! So for that, I am very happy!
Love me some Kuiu!
I had the same experience. Sticker shock at customs of $250. But when I looked closer it was about $100 for Gst and pst and $140 for customs. The customs itself was just under 20 percent. I would have paid Gst and pst on gear here, so it was not such a big deal. The yukon pants and jacket fit and feel awesome. Better than the Sitka I tried.
