Best Rain Gear for Deer Hunting : KUIU Chugach TR Review

KUIU Chugach TR Rain Gear Review and Water Proof Test. I bought the KUIU Chugach TR rain gear jacket and pants for archery hunting in NE Pennsylvania. I've had other rain gear fail on me so I was very hesitant spending a lot of money on rain gear. After a lot of research, reading reviews, talking to other KUIU owners, I decided to pick up a set. This is my un-biased opinion and review on the gear and how I plan on using it. I also test the breathability and waterproofness of the gear.

Thanks for the time to put this together for us. Struggling with the cost of high end rain gear myself.

The Chugach will keep you dry for a short period. In prolonged damp/ wet conditions the fabric gets saturated and you will get wet. Still an excellent set though for days when you may get a few showers.

I love the kuiu gear. I try my best to take advantage when they have sales. It saves me a few dollars. I believe it was 30% off its original price during Labor Day sale.

I don’t have a horse in this race, but I will say I think kuiu’s camo is MUCH better than Sitka’s gore optifade; way too much gray and white and not enough green and brown. Verde is honestly a pretty nice pattern

Thanks for the review. You said you're 6ft 170lbs and got a medium correct?
I am just under 6'1" and around 180. I will range between 175-185. Do you think a Large would be too big?
