I bought the attack pants for a Co elk hunt this September.  Wore them everyday but one, they where wet and muddy from the rain and falling down.  When they dried just shook them out and they were good to go.  I think we hunted 12 days.  Now I've been wearing them whitetail hunting and washing after each day of use.  Seems to be holding up great.  

If I go elk hunting next year which I plan to do if my health holds up I'm going to buy their jacket and pack.  I'm thinking about buying the day pack (2150 ci) and just the 5200 ci bag which will interchange with the belts and harness. The day pack is $350 and just the 5200 bag is $180.

I have guide jacket and attack pants.  Best built clothing I have owned.  Will be getting the guide pants soon.  The nuyarn baselayers are also very nice.  The 210 top is my new favorite shirt.  Only complaint is that i wish the baselayer pants were made without zippers.  I do not need them.  

Overall it is very well built, thought out, and comfortable

I recently purchased a Merino 125 T and a Merino 145 Zip-T from them. I've been very happy with both pieces. If you shop around, you'll see that their base layer prices are very competitive.

I also purchased a pair of Attack Pants used and have worn them on a number of hunts this season. I really like these pants. The 4-way stretch material is very comfortable and the overall design is great (the cut, functionality of the pockets [cargo pockets that are actually worth using], etc).

My only (minor) complaint about Kuiu is that it can frequently be difficult to find certain items in their camo patterns (at least at/near the fall hunting season), especially the popular Verde pattern. However, they offer a good selection of (muted) solid colors that are actually useful for hunting (I really like their Brindle and Forest colors).

I have lots of different items, great stuff, made for the mountains so if you are using in the bush you will see accelerated wear.

I have their attack pants- The most comfortable and lightweight hunting pants I've ever worn for the mountains. They also dry out very quickly when they get moist.  Pricey, but worth it IMO.  I'm currently eyeing up their Yukon jacket.
