Kuiu Rubicon

[4IDARCHER]

So does anyone know or have a solid idea on where the new Kuiu jacket will fit into their line up? It looks very similar to the 240 peloton, but maybe it is more of a soft-shell type?

I was trying to figure out its place too. Seems like a lighter version of the Guide and the Teton. Not sure if I would use it in a camo form, maybe in solid color. I would use the Peloton 240 more for hunting than the Rubicon.

I’ll probably grab one if it’s not overly warm and it’s quiet. I see it as a highly improved guide jacket, lighter and appears it is more wind and water resistant.

I can see wearing it over a base layer when it’s 50-60 but windy or pushing through wet brush, or paired with a puffy like the Kenai when glassing or it’s cold and you’re on a stalk. The Peloton tops would be a good mid layer with it when moving in colder temps and not busting brush.

Anybody tried one of these yet? Thinking about grabbing one but would like to see some feedback.

i wore mine this past weekend got around 2 inches in 4 hours and didn't have any water leak. temps were around 28-30 have a puffy on under and was never cold. helps against the wind fairly well too

How soft and quiet is it compared to Guide?

I really hope kuiu gets back into doing vids that Jason did all the time explaining all their gear. I use all brands but liked those little info clips with his experience using them and what the difference between all the new gear is.
