I've found Kuiu gear to be well made from top quality components. It is expensive, but I think represents good value for money cos it just plain doesnt wear out. But, some of their gear, particularly shells and rain wear, aint too popular in NZ cos of the price, and they make it their rain jackets too short. We dont want to buy matching trou so as the rain can drip off a short jacket, on to your trou, to keep you dry. Many Kiwi's like the longer anorak style wet weather gear so we can wear shorts and the rain leaves the well below your butt rather than around your waistline.
