Any one used this jacket? How does it fit next to the other Kuiu rain jackets? Is it durable? Waterproof? All the usual questions. Just looking for a little feedback to see if it's worth the $100 on the Kuiu outlet.

The Teton stays in my pack all the time for the occasional shower I may run into.Fit is just like the other Kuiu rain jackets,it works fine and durability is average.My go to rain gear for when I know weather will be bad is the more durable Chugach.

Good way to describe it.

I only have the pants. Material surprises me on durability but it’s still light weight stuff. Water proofness is pretty good. Build quality is better than most stuff I see at rei at a comparable price. At the outlet prices it’s a solid buy, just keep in mind it’s intended use.

Anyone with a comparison between the Teton and an OR Helium ii? I THINK I'm probably gonna go Helium, because it's a proven and well received piece, but would love someone's thoughts if you've handled both.

The sizing is wonky with the helium ii. It’s sized like a shirt so if you’re a large shirt then you might need a 2x for layering. Shell material felt pretty equal against abuse. I’m a bit long in my torso and felt like the helium was short.
