KUIU Ultra Merino 145 1/4 Zip Review - Nuyarn and Great Fit

KUIU Ultra Merino 145 1/4 Zip Review - Nuyarn and Great Fit
The KUIU Ultra Merino 145 1/4 Zip features Nuyarn merino wool. We have reviewed several other shirts that use Nuyarn and we are fans!
The KUIU Ultra Merino is a lightweight base layer that can also function as a stand-alone top in hot weather. Wool in hot weather?? Yes! It dumps heat and dries fast. Plus, there is UPF 50+ to keep you from getting burnt.

Thanks for the sizing! All I can find on their site is the basic chart, and the review comments are all over the place… I can visually see your fit, and you’re display of measurements…superb. Thank you, very much!

Hey Sean, great video, really informative for a brand and product i've only just come across. I'd be approaching this from a thru hiker perspective, so sun protection, heat management is key. My questions for you are: how does it stack up for odour prevention? And is it a credible barrier from biting bugs/mosquitos? Many thanks.

[@Engearment]

Hello!! Thank you for the nice note. These are fantastic hiking pants. Among my favorite. We don’t have much bugs here in Colorado (thank goodness!) but we do have mosquitos. I rely on bug spray when out camping. So I can not advise on specific qualities of the pants in regards to any bug. Sorry!

I’m looking at a the KUIU 200 Merino Hoodie and wanting to use it to replace my UL puffy as a mid layer coupled with a Polartec Alpha base layer and rain jacket as my outer layer. What would your thoughts be on this as a layering system for hiking down to high teens?

[@Engearment]

Great question! I have not used the KUIU 200 Merino Hoodie yet, so I can not speak on how warm it is. But, I have used other brands mid-weight merino in layering systems with success. In my case, it is usually for touring during splitboarding. In that case, it is usually a merino base layer with a breathable shell (soft or hard), light fleece gloves and a hat. Temps are usually 5-25F. Hope that helps!

For the Tiburon pants what size did you go with? Did you get Tall?

[@Engearment]

Wearing them right now actually! 34" regular.

[@MCNAISH7]

Would you recommand going up a size ? My chest is 39" and im torn between M and XL (also im 5’9" tall and weight 163 lb). Usually M suits me with other brands

[@Engearment]

Hello Dan, I dont think you need to go up in size. I am usually XL and the XL fit spot on. Hope that helps!

[@MCNAISH7]

@@Engearment Thanks, it will help ! And I meant L not XL..

[@ethangold2045]

what was the exact name of the color you got in the shirt? you said "brown" in the video but the names are different on Kuiu website. Great review, btw.

[@Engearment]

Thank you Ethan! The exact color is Ash. Since this review, I have been enjoying it for winter camping and splitboarding as well. Great layer.

[@ethangold2045]

Thanks for the reply, will be getting one!

[@Engearment]

@@ethangold2045 excellent! 🙌🙌

Don't discount any of the high-end 'hunting' brands. They're driving cutting-edge outdoor clothing. I used to purchase high-end 'mountain' brands but all my stuff comes from KUIU, Sitka, and Stone Glacier now.. they're pushing the outdoor industry. Thankfully they have non-camo colors for all round use.

[@Engearment]

Agreed! I live in KUIU pants almost year round.
