Peloton 200 vs 240

[benjblt]

So I need some input. I ordered the Peloton 200 hoody and the 240 no hood. The 200 almost seems like it would be warmer but I love them both. Have any of you used one of them or both?

Got the 200 no hood a while back and gave used it late season elk this past week. Seemed to be fine with will base layer in 30℉ to 42℉ temps. Fairly happy with it. Only wore guide vest over it. I suspect it will snag on thorns and such like the attack pants do.

I was thinking that it would snag also. The Teton stretch woven pant and zip T might be more durable then their more expensive counterparts, the 200 and attacks. We bought the Teton pants and shirt for my brother in law and I'm anxious to see how they pan out.

I ordered one too, I'm sending back for the second time. I just don't have a Kuiu body, XL is too tight XXL is too long. I love the attack pants, but no more upper gear from Kuiu for me until they make gear for husky guys like me. I'm a little bitter about the shipping costs back and forth, I'm out $42 and no gear.

Timberstalker,
I sometimes have the same problem. Some of their stuff fits perfect and some doesn't. I returned the Kenai 3 times trying to decide on M or L and Hood/No Hood. I'm a Medium in the merino and a Large in most Peloton. The 240 is a little too tight in medium but a little to long in Large. I'm 5' 8" and have a little broader shoulders than average. When ordering something new its hard to know how its going to fit. I do like their stuff though.

 

[Timberstalker]

I love their gear, I just have a fitting issue. I can't justify the cost when it just doesn't fit right.

 

[benjblt]

Have you tried First Lite? It looks like that stuff fits a little loser. If I hadn't invested so much in Kuiu I'd be looking at them or Sitka.

 

[Timberstalker]

I really like Kuiu's non camo gear styles, the others aren't nearly as attractive. I'm not big on camo, I want to wear it anytime I want, not just hunting.

Sitka and first lite both have solid colors too. I own solids in all the brands...

Sizing tends to be a learning experience and trial and error. I got 34 attack pants first but they were too snug, pinched my nuts when squatting down. 36 is just right. I bought some kryptek stuff and they say athletic cut so I bought sizes like I did kuiu, 36 pants and med shirt. Pants were baggie and shirt tight in shoulders and cut into my arm pits. Sent back for 34 pants and large shirt and it's just right. No bottoms from first lite but the shirts are all med and they are just right, looser than kuiu.
