    Kuiu and First lite rain gear question: Kuiu Kenai for insulation?

    I was looking to pick up new rain gear for this upcoming season. I was looking at Kuiu Chugach. I was told that is the better way to go because the Yukon is too "heavy" by some people who have both. This is for Montana and Idaho, Wyoming archery and of course would then be used for later gun...
