Introducing Teton – Challenging the Status Quo I created the KUIU consumer-direct business model to build a line of gear using Toray fabrics, which have a massive performance advantage over any other fabrics in the world, with no expense spared. Until now, cost has never been considered in our quest to build the finest mountain hunting apparel on the planet. The results and feedback have been nothing short of amazing.
INNOVATION NEVER RESTS Pack Systems Tents Sleeping Bags
Over the last few years I have met many hunters in our showroom, at the trade shows, or in the field, who would love to experience KUIU but simply could not afford our premium products. Every hunter should be able to wear great gear that performs well. It was these interactions that inspired me to create the Teton line.
Synthetic Layers
Teton is an eight piece skin-to-shell layering system, utilizing Toray fabrics, that rivals the quality and performance of our competition at a half the price. Compare Teton head to head with any retail-based hunting product on the market today, and I am confident you will truly see the superior value and quality our consumer-direct model can produce. Amazing technical hunting apparel at a price point anyone can afford.
Storm Shell
Our commitment to innovation remains the same, focused on solving the problems we Mountain Hunters face. Eliminating weight while increasing performance, blending the finest materials with great designs, all without retail markup.

THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND OUR PACK SYSTEMS
PACK SYSTEMS
Carbon Fiber: Lose Weight, Not Strength KUIU created the world’s first molded carbon fiber pack frame to reduce weight and move with your body more comfortably than ever! Featured in aerospace, auto racing and anywhere strength-to-weight ratios are critical, carbon fiber weighs half as much as aluminum and is twice as strong as steel. KUIU’s patented carbon fiber frame weighs only 11 ounces, yet carries heavy loads easily, bringing unparalleled lightweight performance to Mountain Hunters everywhere.
Fully Adjustable Suspension KUIU’s patented T-Lock track system and Velcro ® securely hold the shoulder straps to the frame which allows for easy adjustments, perfect-fit, and maximum comfort. The sleek design moves the pack closer to your back, providing excellent support for carrying heavy loads.
CARBON FIBER Modular by Design Our pack system is a brilliantly simple modular concept that lets you change bags in minutes. Any bag from either the ICON Pro line or the ULTRA line are interchangeable on either suspension.
“Field Tested” KUIU added unconventional field-testing to laboratory analysis of its carbon fiber pack frame. In activities that include driving over it with a pickup truck, loading it with 150 lbs of gym weights, and throwing a loaded pack off a cliff, the carbon fiber frame proved its strength. Check out KUIU’s complete video library at www.youtube.com/kuiuultralight
It’s all in the Ingredients Cordura 160D and 500D rip stop fabric is the perfect balance between durability and light weight. The suspension is made with Doppio Futura Spacer Mesh found in the highest quality Italian made boots, Duraflex hardware and YKK Zippers guarantee durability and performance and the first ever patented Carbon Fiber backpack frame.

THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND OUR OUTER LAYER PRODUCTS
Primeflex. A Key Ingredient to Losing Four Pounds Primeflex: • Maximum water resistance, breathability, and stretch in one package • Follows body movements perfectly with 4-way stretch • Super comfort with a soft and smooth touch • Maintains shape through excellent dimensional stability • High durability
Toray’s innovative Primeflex yarn increases fabric durability and decreases weight and drying time. Primeflex fabrics feature a patented spiral yarn technology that allows the yarn to stretch and recover without using heavy, water-absorbing elastics such as Lycra®. The result is more comfortable, higher-performance Primeflex fabrics that weigh about 40 percent less than comparable traditional fabrics.
Kudos® XR DWR (Durable Water-Repellent) Kudos XR DWR performs better and lasts significantly longer than conventional DWR. DWR is critical for waterproof breathable face fabric. If DWR fails the face fabric “wets out” causing condensation build up on the inside of the garment.

Positively Waterproof In a real-world technology test, two jars were filled with equal amounts of water and thoroughly shaken to expose the down to water. Regular down became saturated and lost its loft. Quixdown速 repelled the water and kept its loft.
Quixdown. Waterproof Warmth Down has the highest warmth-to-weight ratio of any insulation material. The only draw back is that once wet, down stops being effective and takes very long to dry. Not anymore. Through nanotechnology, Toray Industries has created a water repellent finish for down feathers that makes each down cluster essentially waterproof. Quixdown速 stays dry to keep you warmer with less weight and bulk.
