    which Kuiu jacket to buy?

    After many years of using old hiking/mountaineering gear I've slowly started accumulating some Kuiu. I bought their down jacket a couple years ago and this Christmas my wife got me some Yukon rain gear.

    Last week I saw a deal on some Tiburon pants so now I need a jacket but I can't decide between the Rubicon, Axis, Peloton or Guide. Too many choices.

    Anybody have any strong favourites?

    Guide jacket would be my first jacket to get from your list. I have owned them all.

    I don't own any Kuiu, but the Guide DCS is also what I would get if I had to have only one of their products. Uber versatile.

    Also love my guide jacket. The peloton is more like a polar fleece type. Im looking to buy one for when there is no precip. forecast or to go under the guide jacket.

    FYI their stuff fits small so buy a size bigger or two sizes bigger if you want to throw stuff underneath. My Guide jacket is a XXL and I find it perfect to stick a down coat underneath and or my binos.

    I agree BHB about the sizing, for example I wear a XXL Coat in Sitka Gear and can zip it up with room to spare, I can't even Zip up a KUIU XXL

    On another note I bought some Talus Hybrid Pants and they are amazing for late season pants, I usually wear 38-40 in jeans so I ordered a 42" pants and couldn't do them up so I improvised.......now Im dreaming of losing some weight !!!!

    The guide is a great coat. I just bought the new axis and it one ups the guide with better wind proofing and the strategically placed waterproof panels
