    Kuiu jacket for North Island

    Was looking at the new Axis hybrid jacket but am now thinking I might be better off with one of the actual rain jackets like the Chugach instead.
    It is the north island after all.
    Anyone had experience with either of these jackets? And what is your opinion soft shell hybrid or hard shell rain jacket.

    I live on the North island and own the Kuiu Yukon. It is a unbelievable rain jacket. I use the jacket with sitka
    pants. They both are waterproof and breathable. Wat s this website and facebook
    sheep hunting gear and there is some good deals.

    Get the Yukon jacket and pants. I use mine timber hunting in island monsoons and it has yet to let me down. Also breathes well. Layer with merino wool base top and long johns indrrneath and you are good for hiking up steep areas. I throw a chinook or fleece mid layer once if going slow or walking logging roads where I won’t work up as much of a sweat.

    Im 5' 11" 230 lbs
    Any thoughts as to XL or XXL jacket?
    I wear a 36 in pants so Im thinking L for the pants but some of the other models I looked at I figured I was a 38 in Kuiu sizes.
    I have no experience with Kuiu sizing anyone have any insight?

    I am 6'2'' and 240 lbs , wear usually XL and 38. Faced the same issue like you, read about Kuiu but no chance to try it. Until recent Abbotsford show where I found Kuiu stand with Chugach and Yukon pants and jackets.
    Tried them all in XL size . Perfect fit for me.

    Be careful with pants. I bought 32 3 years ago. Solid 2 inches small.
    Too expensive to return so my bro has them.wears them everywhere...lil punk

    I'm 6'0, 200 pounds and the large is perfect for me. Like most Kuiu products they do seem to be designed to fit people with more of a long and lean build.
