knew this idea wasn’t viable or “ Irealistic within the existing retail model — everything I wanted to make would just cost too much. So I thought, why not bypass the retailer? By selling direct online, we could make the best products, keep the prices down and manage, to our standards, every aspect of the customer experience.

So I started KUIU.”

ATTACK PANT Tested and proven for 10 years — With over 200,000 pairs sold, more than 7,000 reviews with a 4.9-star ranking, the Attack Pant brought industry firsts like; spandex-free Primeflex® stretch fabric, hip vents, and a perfected fit that led many to vow to never wear ordinary pants again.

DERMIZAX AND K-DWR®

BY TORAY® ®

What is it?

A waterproof, breathable membrane sandwiched between a face fabric and a durable backer lining.

The face fabric is treated with K-DWR® on the outside to promote water beading and breathability.

K-DWR® Treatment causes water to bead and roll off.

Face Fabric Durable stretch Primeflex.

Waterproof Breathable Membrane

Totally Waterproof Water droplets are too big to penetrate the membrane.

Lining

Breathability Allows perspiration vapor to pass through the micro-openings, keeping you dry.

Why use it in our gear?

Dermizax® and K-DWR® are the leaders in waterproof breathable technologies, and testing proves that it’s built to last. The hydrophobic properties keep water out (waterproof), allow water vapor created by sweat to be released rapidly (breathability), which results in a fabric that performs better than other comparable products.

QUIXDOWN INSULATION

BY TORAY®

®

What is it?

Quixdown® is a very high quality goose down that goes through a proprietary process that applies a durable water repellent treatment to each plume of down, making it virtually impervious to water.

Why use it in our gear?

It is the highest quality down available, resistant to water and will maintain loft if wet. While down has the highest warmth-to-weight ratio of any insulation, it was never previously a viable option for mountain hunting because it loses insulating properties when subjected to moisture. Quixdown eliminates this drawback, making it the best-performing insulation on the market.

Challenging The Status Quo

created the KUIU consumer-direct “ Ibusiness 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. 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.”

KENAI ULTRA Hunters that cover a lot of country in cold conditions needed an ultralight insulation that could provide warmth, breathability, and evaporate moisture. We launched a synthetic 3DeFX+® insulation to surpass these demands. Featuring continuous insulating fibers that won’t poke through the inner liner or outer fabric, 3DeFX+® does not require coated fabrics that add weight and unwanted noise. Ultimately, this produces high-performance gear that’s dead quiet, low sheen, and ultralight.

CAMOUFLAGE Our Camo Philosophy is to break up your outline at any distance or terrain, and in all weather conditions.

We offer the three most effective camouflage patterns available in the hunting industry, combined with the most technically advanced ultralight layering system and equipment. This combination ensures hunters are completely protected and hidden in every environment — no matter the species being hunted.

Traditional camouflage patterns blend into one blob of color at mid-range distances without breaking up the human outline, making it easier for game to spot you.

Our camouflage features high- or low-contrast tones, similar to what’s seen in the most successful apex predators — 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.

Valo

2020 Blends with its surroundings — Valo features a lowcontrast, large macro pattern with micro details to retain breakup from close range to 200+ yards. Ideal in hardwoods after the leaves fall and in open terrain lacking cover. Colors include desert tan, prairie-grass yellow, stone grey, coyote brown, olive drab, and black.

Verde

2012 Creates visual deception — Verde is a highcontrast, large macro pattern with micro details, designed to retain breakup from close range to 200+ yards. Ideal in green timber and vegetation, or deciduous forests before frost burn. Colors include tan, olive, grey, green, and black.

Vias

2011 Mimics most apex predators — Vias is a highcontrast, large macro pattern designed to retain breakup at 200+ yards. Ideal for fall or late-season in rocky slopes, grey boulders, tree environments, and above timberline after the frost burn. Colors include tan, light grey, dark grey, brown, and black.
