INTRODUCING
A
We Took The Mountain in 2011 when KUIU introduced Vias Camouflage, alongside our most technically advanced ultralight layering system. In 2014, we launched Verde Camouflage to give hunters the advantage in green environments. Now, after three years of research and development, countless iterations, and input from the best hunters and guides, KUIU is proud to announce Valo. Now We’re Taking The Rest. The addition of Valo, a lighter, low-contrast pattern, adds a new dimension to KUIU Camouflage. Now hunters are completely covered in every environment with the three most effective camo patterns in the industry, available in our premier skin-to-shell layering system.
L
Valo Is Versatile. It’s effective across a wide variety of terrain and vegetation, after seasonal changes or frost burn. Taking on the colors of its surroundings, the complex color palette includes desert tan, prairie-grass yellow, stone grey, coyote brown, olive drab, and black.
Valo Is Subtle. It’s composed of lighter, low-contrast earth tones with a minimal amount of black. Its subtle tones conceal a hunter’s movements, blending in and adapting while hunting in dormant, uniformed, and muted environments.
O
It’s KUIU. Valo’s large macro pattern with micro details share the same human outline disruption qualities as Vias and Verde. Hunters now have three camouflage options optimized for any distance, environment or season. Only available at KUIU.com or 800-648-9717

Valo
Valo features a low-contrast, large macro pattern with micro details to retain breakup from close range to 200+ yards. It features light complex colors, including desert tan, prairie-grass yellow, stone grey, coyote brown, olive drab, and minimal black that take on the appearance of their surroundings. Visually, it works best for uniform, dormant vegetation, including deciduous hardwoods, tundra, sage, underbrush and grass.
Verde
Verde is a high-contrast, large macro pattern with micro details. It’s designed to retain breakup from close range to 200+ yards. Colors include tan, olive, grey, green, and black. Verde is the best year-round pattern for evergreen forest environments. Visually, it works best for green vegetation, tundra, grasslands, and deciduous forest environments before frost burning.
KUIU CAMO
KUIU CAMO – WHY WE MADE IT. Our camo philosophy is to break up your outline at any distance, so you look like nothing at all, and game looks through you, not at you. With three camo options effective in various vegetations and terrains you encounter, KUIU’s patterns offer the optimal mix of blending, concealment and break up. Traditional camouflage patterns blend into one blob of color at mid-range distances and don’t break up the human outline, making it easier for game to spot you. At KUIU, we innovate the most effective and unique camo available to mitigate that challenge.
Vias
Our patterns feature high or low-contrast tones, similar to what’s seen in the most successful apex predators, like tigers, leopards, jaguars, and African wild dogs. As a result, our patterns mask and break up the human outline at both close and long ranges, across a variety of terrains and vegetation types. Vias is a high-contrast, large macro pattern designed to retain breakup at 200+ yards. Colors include tan, light grey, dark grey, brown, and black. It’s the best pattern for year-round use in high-contrast scree, talus, and boulder environments. Visually, it works best for fall or late-season hunting after the frost burn in grey tree environments and areas above timberline. ONLY AVAILABLE AT KUIU.COM OR 800-648-9717

BUILD YOUR VALO KIT Valo offers the optimal mix of breakup and blending concealment, while our technical layering system offers protection, insulation, and comfort. Whether your hunting plans take you to coastal Alaska for brown bear, the West in open broken country for elk, the desert for sheep, the Midwest farm country for whitetail or the northern hardwoods for moose — Valo offers a new dimension to the most ultralight, performance hunting gear available.
Valo Products Next-to-Skin Base Layers 7
“Valo bridges the gap between Vias and Verde. And in my opinion, Valo will become the industry standard in camo pattern versatility. I have hunts planned in a variety of terrain — from Kodiak Island Alaska, to the deserts of Southern Utah and Texas. 2020 will be the year of Valo for me.” Will Waldrip

NEXT-TO-SKIN The next-to-skin base layer is the foundation of your layering system, with two core material options to choose from. Synthetic base layers are quick drying, ultralight, durable, and perform well in humid climates. Merino wool base layers are naturally odor-resistant, provide insulation while wet, and are ideal in arid climates.

MID LAYERS & INSULATION During a hunt, maintaining a consistent core temperature throughout the day is challenging. The outside temperature and weather are always changing, as well as your activity level. Mid layers offer the flexibility to scale your comfort based on the hunt conditions and your personal preference.

LAYERING IN THE FIELD Outdoor environments and exertion levels change throughout every hunt. KUIU designs its gear as part of a technical layering system, helping hunters regulate their temperature by adding or removing layers as the activity level and weather conditions change. The perfect layering system is unique to each individual. The diagram represents a day in the field on an early-season backpack hunt and shows how adding and removing layers throughout the day will help regulate comfort. MORNING AND EVENING – Prep for the day’s hunt and ending your day with dinner and preparing for bed. Conditions: Expect the temperature to be cold. Exertion: Low. Layering: Layering up will be required to maintain comfort. WALKING AND CLIMBING – Hiking with pack and gear with elevation gains and losses. Conditions: Temperatures start cool and warm up in the afternoon. Exertion: Medium to high when carrying pack and gaining elevation. Layering: Removal of layers to maintain comfort. LUNCH, RESTING AND GLASSING – Sitting and recovering. Conditions: Temperatures are uncertain. Exertion: Low. Layering: Certain degrees of layering to maintain comfort. Weather conditions and temperatures vary throughout the day. Being prepared and adaptable to unpredictable changes in conditions is vital to maintaining comfort in the field, and protecting against sun, cold, rain, and wind. 16

He’s a former collegiate wrestler, Landscape Contractor by trade, and one of the thousands of successful KUIU customers who lives to hunt.

This Is How We Took The Mountain. KUIU’s Commitment To Innovation And Technology
“I wanted to make the lightest and highest performing mountain hunting clothing possible. I wanted to create a brand that stood for uncompromised quality, and uncompromised performance…” Jason Hairston, KUIU Founder
Science-based research and development influenced the innovation of Valo, Verde, and Vias camo patterns. We use the same scientific approach to develop all KUIU’s products, so hunters thrive in extreme conditions. Prominent technologies KUIU has introduced to hunters: • S tretch fabrics without heavy, water-absorbing elastics
• D WR treated down that’s far superior to competitors in the industry
• M erino wool with more stretch and better performance than believed possible
• T he first bino harness to eliminate bounce and sag
• Waterproof fabrics that stretch and breathe
• T he first ever carbon fiber pack frame
KUIU works with the most advanced supply chain partners in the world. Our partnerships with true craftsmen and innovators allow us to relentlessly push the boundaries at reducing weight in our layering system and packs, while at the same time increasing performance and adding durability.
COMFORT
PROTECTION
Nuyarn® (by The Merino Company)
Primeflex® (Stretch without elastic)
Nuyarn® is not a new fabric, it’s a new way of making fabric. Nuyarn® lays wool fibers along the same orientation, making fabrics more comfortable and 35% stretchier, 38% loftier, 25% warmer, 16% stronger and dry 5 times faster than traditional ring spun wool yarn.
Features a patented spiral yarn technology that allows the yarn to stretch and recover without using heavy, water-absorbing elastics. The result is a higher-performance fabric that weighs about 40 percent less than comparable traditional fabrics.
When you’re working hard, our next-to-skin base layers work even harder to move moisture away from your skin. Our innovative Nuyarn® Merino and Peloton synthetic base layers wick and evaporate moisture, keeping you dry and comfortable in any condition.

Don’t let the elements put hurdles between you and your pursuit. Our outer-layers built from Primeflex® polyester and nylon are extremely hard wearing without sacrificing mobility and a perfect fit.

WARMTH
STAY DRY
Quixdown® (Waterproof Warmth)
K-DWR® (Durable Water-Repellent)
ENTRANT® (Waterproof. Windproof. Breathable.)
Down has the highest warmth-to-weight ratio of any insulation material. The drawback is that once wet, down stops being effective. Not anymore. Through nanotechnology, TORAY Industries has created a water repellent finish for down that makes each down cluster essentially waterproof.
The first line of defense for keeping you dry. It beads the water keeping it from penetrating the outer-layer fabric, which promotes breathability and performance.
A hydrophobic waterproof breathable microporous polyurethane membrane that blocks moisture while allowing humidity to escape. Breathes well during all levels of activity and absorbs minimal moisture for faster dry times.
Some say you can’t have warmth without heavy insulation. We say they’re wrong. Our Quixdown® and 3DeFX+ insulations are manufactured with revolutionary refining processes, and are crafted into the lightest and warmest gear ever produced.
When it’s coming down, the hunt doesn’t stop. Not only is our rain gear waterproof, windproof and extremely breathable, all our outer layers are K-DWR treated to bead water and keep you dry, so you can keep hunting instead of waiting it out.
K-DWR
Featured in our Super Down products 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® repelled the water and kept its loft.

TORAY’s 3DeFX+ (Active Insulation) Combines insulation made from coil-shaped fibers and stretch fabrics to provide warmth and freedom of movement. Its continuous fiber technology is loftier and warmer than other synthetic insulation options, and perfect when the need for extreme warmth and mobility are required.

Introducing KUIU Conservation Direct™ The first-of-its-kind conservation initiative. Entirely company and customer funded, every dollar invested goes toward a tangible conservation project that contributors and volunteers can see. No one involved with Conservation Direct gets paid — all dollars and volunteer hours go toward the current project we’re pursuing. That’s why we do conservation projects one-at-a-time, ensuring transparency from start to finish. Backed by a science-based approach to game and habitat management, KUIU Conservation Direct seeks to create hunting opportunities now, as well as for future generations to come. Corporate conservation has been in need of a serious shakeup. In late January 2020, KUIU along with sixteen generous customers and thirty-four volunteers executed the first ever entirely company and customer funded bighorn sheep transplants in history. This project, more than two years in planning, culminated with the simultaneous reintroduction of THREE new Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep herds in the west. The first saw two groups of bighorns released in the North Dakota badlands which had been missing wild sheep for more than one hundred and fifty years. The second was a translocation of a disease-free herd to Utah as a kick start to the new Rocky Mountain Bighorn nursery program on Antelope Island. All entirely paid for by KUIU and KUIU Customers, this is a gift to the hunters of North America. Although rare today, bighorn sheep transplants are not a new concept. What is new is how this one was done: Biologically sound and financially transparent from concept to execution driven by KUIU. This incredible project is not only the first of its kind, it is also what we hope will be a paradigm shift in how conservation is done at the company level. Lately, corporate conservation has been far too heavy on branding and far to light on action and results. Projects impacting future hunting opportunities for sportsmen don’t seem as important as presentation and credit. Films about conservation outnumber conservation projects. 40
“Hunting and hands-on conservation are inseparable. We have focused our conservation goals as a company on tangible projects that have a direct impact on creating future hunting opportunities.” “Awareness” has overtaken action. It should not be a surprise we have decided to take a different and direct path with our conservation goals as a company. Ten years ago Jason Hairston founded KUIU as an industry disruptor: A defiant troublemaker and the original consumer direct hunting brand. KUIU proved there is a better way of doing business: direct, with total transparency and a closer connection to our customer. Those principles ring true today in conservation. This project proves it. It is a call to action as a company and a challenge to both the industry and the conservation model to do more: more hands on, more direct impact, and get more results. With the help of the greatest customers on the planet and a fresh take on an age old concept, direct is still the best way. BRENDAN BURNS, KUIU DIRECTOR OF CONSERVATION

KUIU CONSERVATION DIRECT KCD1 and KCD2 From January 27–29, 2020, KUIU, along with a group of 16 great customer donors and 34 volunteers completed the first company and customer funded bighorn sheep transplant. All told, 55 excess Bighorns from the Rocky Boys Indian Reservation in northern Montana were translocated resulting in three new sheep herds. The first 30 sheep (KCD1) were given to the Three Affiliate Tribes in North Dakota for reintroduction in two separate locations. The second 25 sheep (KCD2) were given to the State of Utah for release and reintroduction on Antelope Island as the seed stock for the new Rocky Mountain Bighorn nursery program. Thank you to all the incredible people who selflessly gave and volunteered to make this happen.
