Popular premium hunting clothing brand KUIU has just announced a new line of hunting apparel made specifically for silencing movements in colder conditions. KUIU says their new Proximity line of clothing is the ideal option for treestand deer hunters.
"The Proximity line is a big moment for us," KUIU VP of brand marketing Kevin Wilkerson said in a press release. "KUIU customers have been requesting products for cold environments with a focus on silence for yearsWith cold weather whitetail-specific features such as a treestand safety harness port and body mapped insulation for a streamlined fit, it's sure to be a hit with bowhunters this fall. As with all KUIU gear, these products have gone through countless hours of research and wear testing to ensure they're the best on the market."
More specifically, KUIU built the Proximity series uses a wind-resistant SynthaCell foam membrane and brushed fabric with a low sheen for optimal retention of heat. KUIU also gave the line body-mapped Toray insulation and body-mapped 3DeFX+ insulation to help hunters stay warm on stand while not moving for hours on end. Because rain and snow are a common component to stand hunting, KUIU has also given the Proximity collection the added protection of DWR water resistance.
KUIU's Proximity Collection currently consists of an Insulated Hooded Jacket and Insulated Pant. The jacket only weights one pound, 15 ounces, and features a zip-off hood, a treestand safety harness port, streamlined forearms designed specifically for bowhunting, stretch gasket wrist cuffs, and a variety of pockets including zippered hand pockets with holders for hand warmers for those frostier mornings.

KUIU also announced their new Yukon HD Gaiters this week. The company designed these new gaiters with a Dermizax HDM waterproof membrane and a 300-denier CORDURA HT lining. Fitted with a TPU-coated nylon bootstrap, they lock down nicely to your boots and should keep the ice, snow, and water out of your boots during the worst conditions nature can throw at you. They're also ideal for those tougher bushwhacks through the thick brush. Users will be able to match these gaiters with their hunting outfit since KUIU plans to offer it in all three camo patterns. They are also selling a solid color ash and gunmetal color option. The MSRP is $109.
