WTB Kuiu guide vest in blaze orange

[Trees91]

They made them for a while and I never bought one. Anyone have a large or X-large they would part with?

I spoke with Kuiu last fall regarding these vests. They will be for sale again this year, late spring or early summer

That’s good to hear. I just sent them an email last night. Hopefully they tell me the same

Would be nice to have in the states that require orange

Yeah for sure. I always hate wearing some cheap baggy vest I found last minute at a Walmart or something. Here in Sd were only required to have one piece of orange so I just go with a hat. Headed to Montana for bear and need 400sq inches

Standing by to see if they tell you the same

If I hear back from them I’ll let you guys know.

Still no news from kuiu....

Wow! That’s not good.

Could try a Sitka blaze vest. I have seen them on sale for 70 or 80, but they have a foam shoulder pad on the right side and I really don’t want extra material between my shoulder and the gun..already have a base layer, puffy vest and a jacket.

That foam pad is removable.

That’s good to know. I was thinking they would be smart enough to make it removable but I couldn’t find that info on the specs or details. Thanks for letting me know.

I love Sitka products and just started buying Kuiu items but neither of their vests have the features I want in an orange vest. The old Primos bow vest works perfect for me. Lots of pockets, cinches close to your body and has hand warmer pockets big enough to put my phone in.

i figure with the kuiu guide vest if I get it large enough to go over my guide jacket I won’t loose any pockets, also wasn’t gain any like the primos vest...I usually just wear a super thin light cheap one so I don’t notice it’s on. I do have a guide vest in Vias and I enjoy wearing that so I figured I would like a blaze. That is if they ever make them again.

I switched to orange aglow this year and really like it. Super minimalist vest and packs away easily.

I like the looks of those. The pack panel would be nice too.

I run the same vest along with the pack panel. I like them both, though I don't love the little velcro closure on the vest.

For any of you considering these vests, just a word of advice on the sizing. I own the teton jacket, peloton jacket, chinook jacket, Superdown jacket, and guide jacket, merino tops, and chugach rain jacket, all in size large. I like how all of them fit. I'm 5'10" & 192lbs. Approx 43inch chest. I read a few reviews about sizing up with this vest so I did. Ordered an XL and just got it today. This vest fits almost perfect over a tshirt, merino layer, and my guide jacket. I would absolutely not want it any smaller. It would certainly have been too small in a large size. My case might be different than some, but it seems as if this vest is a size upper for sure. Hope this helps someone. Good luck
