LOL, just had to vent a little as I’m taking a break on my way down the mountain. This year I’ve been replacing a bunch of my warn out gear, and one of the purchases I made was the Kuiu 145 hoody. It’s been on a week long spring bear hunt and about 8-10 days of Colorado elk hunting. I have washed it 3 times on delicate cycle and air dryer just like the label says.
The thing has holes in it, has ripped at the sleeve, the yarn on the side panels where it’s perforated has pulls, the stitching is coming out around the sleeves.
What gives?? I thought their “NuYarn” tech was supposed to be stronger and better than just merino?? Seems like just marketing hype I guess… oh well, I realize lightweight merino isn’t the most durable of fabrics, but I would hope a 120$ shirt would make it through a handful of hunting seasons….
