Kuiu vest

[Dohyde34]

After a mouse thought living\eating my wingworks vest was a good deal for him I had to buy a new vest quick. Their was a wait for the final rise. I bought a kuiu. I also ordered a final rise, my youngest son will end up with the best I like least. I'm not unhappy with the kuiu at all but my biggest issue is a location to mount my Garmin 300. I use and really like the puke gear holster. At this point the kuiu feels like a backpack. Anxious to try out the final rise. Any thoughts on a mounting location on the kuiu does anyone else have a thought on the comparison of the two?

I'm curious how the KUIU carries weight? Is it off the shoulders or is it carried by the hips? How much water can it carry? I really like the frame that it has in. It seems like that would help keep it balanced. I have an old orvis pro that doesn't fit me great because I'm skinny but I like it a lot. I also just found some soft collapsible ultralight 2 L water bottles and I think I can carry now five and a half Liters of water which is a lot. I obviously like everybody else would love a final rise but I I really like the looks of the KUIU.

I don’t think you can carry that much water comfortably in any vest. Maybe 3 liters on the hips and the rest in a bladder on the shoulders.

The Kuiu and Final Rise have roughly the same water bottle set up. I always threw a bottle in the game pouch

That’s a bunch of water, 4L is my max in marsupial and happy when half of it is gone.
