I was planning, although I know late, to purchase the Kuiu 145 zip T and 145 bottoms for an upcoming fist season Colorado rifle elk hunt. They are out of everything in my size in these. I called and asked what time frame they are expecting these items to be in stock, and they unfortunately did not know. Do you guys suggest First Lite, Kryptek, Smartwool, etc as the best available option? Was planning to use the 145 zip t in Verde camo as a stand alone layer for Texas bowhunting which typically doesn't get below about 60 degrees in my part of the state during October.
KUIU out of stock

Stevo, unfortunately that is Kuiu's downfall, I make sure I buy everything I need from them in the spring! I would suggest looking at First Lite, I've got a few pieces of it and I like it, the only thing between it and Kuiu is the durability is not even close. I got 3 season's out of my FL and I'm going on 4 with Kuiu, both started into the rotation about the same time frame and I've been using both exclusively since then. Sometimes you can find good deals on slightly used Kuiu on Ebay!! Good Luck!

Not sure how short F.L. is getting but a couple of guys who work for me, ordered on Monday, and had the box by Thursday with $5 extra for expedited shipping.
Got all my F.L. earlier. I plan on taking a good hard look at KUIU at Elk Camp or an ISE show.
