    Yea I like it, fits well. Feels heavier then what I thought it would but won't be used for hunting.
    On a side note the only issue I have with the shirt is that the cuffs are too snug so I can't push/roll the sleeves up more then a 1/3 up my forearm.

    Received my pieces too, Yukon Jacket which fits perfect in Medium, much lighter than I expected. Should be very good. Also got the superdown jacket which is light as a feather, great fit. And the mountain pants which seem very good aswell. Looking forward to testing them out on the hill!

    nice and stretchy. not too hot and they dry reasonably quickly. fit over your boots pretty well without being a pair of 70's bell bottoms.
    prefer the fit and fabric weight to my stoney creek micro tough trousers, but wish they came in a plain green colour
    doubt they will be as durable as the stoney creek trio. much lighter material though so not exactly apples for apples.

    I'm really interested in upgrading my rain jacket and have been considering the tahr anorak or something from kuiu. Does anyone have any advice re their own kuiu rain gear?

    I want something that'll be semi quiet, weather proof and provide a small amount of warmth. Similar to the tahr. I've currently just got a arcteryx shell which isn't performing as advertised so looking at flicking it off and getting something different.

    think they are just called Microtough

    biggest complaint about that Stoneycreek pant is that the belt loops are so high that there is no fabric from the pant to stop the belt digging in to your skin. does anyone else find this?

    Got mostly Kuiu gear, latest is superdown pants. Very lightweight, very warm. Rather than have a bag for the coldest conditions, going to use the StoS MCIII and add clothes if cold (also ordered a Loco Libre quilt for the boys which should be lighter and warmer than the MCIII).
