The demands of hunting clothes aren’t all that different from the demands of hiking clothes. When you’re spending every moment you can on the trail or in the brush, your gear needs to meet a reliable standard of durability, weather protection, and comfort, whether you’re seeking big views or big bucks. After all, an unsuccessful hunt is still a good hike.
Kuiu has been quietly innovating and redefining the world of high-performance hunting apparel for over a decade, and the wider outdoor world has taken notice. The brand checks many of the same boxes as the outdoor industry’s most trusted names—Kuiu gear is versatile, function-first, and built to last, offering everything from insulated waterproof jackets to lightweight layers that emphasize movement, comfort, and breathability. It’s the kind of gear you should get used to seeing on the trail and at the crag.
Take the Attack Pant. You might not be attacking anything but the rock wall in front of you, but climbers will be very familiar with the gusseted crotch, articulated knees, and abrasion-resistant four-way-stretch fabric. Meanwhile, hikers will appreciate the lightweight feel, zippered hip vents, array of pockets, and brushed inner fabric that prevents chafing over long miles.
The Guide Pro Hooded Jacket is another versatile piece that’s happy to roam in cold weather, whether you’re following marked trails or game trails. Built for colder conditions where mobility and versatility are more important than heavy layering or weather protection, this soft shell is ready to step in as your go-to for winter hikes and ski tours.
The quiet innovation of Kuiu really comes into play with this jacket. The Guide Pro’s K-DWR technology resists the kind of wind, light rain, and snowfall you might encounter on those blizzard-free winter days. Meanwhile, the jacket’s soft microfleece lining gives you enough comfort and warmth to leave a layer at home, and the extra freedom of movement you’ll have is enhanced by the stretchy, durable fabric. Plus, since no one knows gear storage like hunters, this jacket has plenty of smartly placed pockets.
And if there’s anything that all outdoor enthusiasts can get behind, from hard-charging skiers to hard-chilling anglers, it’s a good base layer. The Ultra Merino 120 Hoodie has all the breathable, versatile benefits of merino wool with durability built for the brush. This lightweight layer is quick to dry, naturally odor-resistant, and built with UPF sun protection, making it ideal for everything from river trips to extended ski vacations. If you’ve been hunting for a brand that focuses on function and durability over all else, you’ve found it in Kuiu.
Kuiu creates ultralight, performance-driven apparel engineered for peak endurance in any environment. Designed with advanced technical fabrics and obsessive attention to detail, Kuiu delivers elite gear for those who demand more from their equipment, from backcountry hunts to alpine hikes.
