Considering KUIU is literally the better more innovative version of what sitka TRIED to be, I would recommend KUIU. Why buy crappy gear that cant hold up or preform in the field?

Because I'm retired....
 

I'lll have to vote no on the Alaska sounding gear.

Spent the winter hikes testing out the different old gear. I'm interested in saving money first, and continuing not freezing myself.
Didn't freeze in 7 degree weather, so I'm still on the save money kick. Of course I'm right up there with the Russian Siberian trappers in saving money. Watched a video on what they wear .
