Kuiu Northridge or First Lite Vapor/Boundary rain gear?

[farleymatters]

So Kuiu is running their sale right now, and I'm in the market for some rain gear. The sale ends tomorrow, and I'm considering picking up a set of the Northridge, but I'm wondering how they compare to the First Lite Vapor jacket / Boundary pants? No idea if First Lite will put them on sale for Black Friday. Is it worth waiting to find out and missing the Kuiu sale? Or would you just pull the trigger on the Kuiu Northridge?

I have the northridge top and boundary stormtight pants. Both are good. Each one I got on sale. My only gripe about kuiu is the sizing... I have better luck with FL stuff on the fit. Both have excellent return policies so I’d say order the kuiu and if you don’t like it send it back and wait out a FL sale.

I went north ridge jacket because of the pit zips, chest pocket and higher hand pockets for carrying a pack

I like FL but their sales aren’t usually 40% on rain gear.
