I just returned from a Texas Rio Grande turkey hunt. This is the first time I hunted with my Kuiu Axis Hooded jacked and Axis pants, merino fingerless gloves, and complementary Kuiu hat. The clothing was comfortable, cool, and quiet. I opened the zippers under armpits to keep cool. My long walk into my blind was quiet, cool. I forgot that I even had gloves on when I loaded my gun, shot two long beards, and then texted my guide to let him know what happened. I have been hunting for more than 50 years, in all kinds of weather, rugged and less rugged conditions, with all kinds of gear. This stuff is amazing. I wish I would've bought this years ago. Great stuff. Will use it again in next couple of weeks in my home state.
