    We discovered this brand at Scheels in Sparks, a high quality product. Then we noticed a billboard off the freeway, so we decided to stop by. Quality/Quantity - I did not find anything I liked, but we did get my wife a vest. They also have a few "outlet" priced items, the same price as their website. The good news is that you can touch and try them on here. Atmosphere - Small location. Neat and organized. Their corporate office is here also. BTW - Their shipping warehouse is in Vacaville. Open 6 days a week from 9am to 5pm or 5:30pm. Closed Sunday. Service - 5 stars. The team was very friendly and inviting. Plenty of parking, especially since they have so few customers. Price - Expensive, but that is the cost for quality. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2011 and with your two locations. We are a new customer and enjoy your products.

    I have a ton of KUIU gear that I have purchased from them directly and some through other vendors, ebay, etc. I purchased a $600.00+ Kutana jacket for an Arctic Circle hunt per my outfitter's recommendation however, when the time came to leave for Nunavut...the temps in the region were unusually high so I didn't pack the jacket. It was unnecessary. At this point I had not even removed it from the package it arrived in. After my trip...while unpacking my gear, I tried the jacket on and found it to be much larger than expected. I should have purchased an XL instead of an XXL (I upsized to offset insulative layering beneath it) and when I attempted to exchange it for an XL, I was told their policy for this was time-limited and they were unwilling to make this exchange. This is why I and many others prefer Sitka Gear to KUIU...they never bum you out like this. I even wrote the following to KUIU when requesting the exchange: "Can I exchange it for an XL? When you see it you'll know it's only been worn inside for a minute. Happy to return it for inspection before you agree to anything. Sorry, I'm an idiot. But it is a very nice jacket and a helluva lot lighter than my HH arctic jacket...by a lot! Thank you for your consideration of my request." I felt it reasonable for them to at least look at it and consider my request but their response was: "Thank you for reaching out to us, and patience as we have been working through some higher-than-average numbers. Unfortunately, the order does not meet our returns guidelines because it is outside of our return policy timeframe and is no longer eligible for a return or exchange. For future reference, you can view our Return Policy here. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please feel free to let us know if there is anything else we can help you with." Well apologies are about as useful as a bow without arrows and while KUIU's policies may make financial sense to them...in reality it costs them repeat customers, goodwill and future revenues in the long term. I own four businesses and know it's important to do right by your customers so they continue to purchase and refer the company to others. I had previously read negative KUIU reviews addressing this issue and read about it in posts on hunting sites and now I know it's fact. I actually hate KUIU now and will never purchase from them again...they don't take care of their customers. Their loss is Sitka's gain. KUIU customer service sets the consumer care bar so low...you can't find it with a shovel. The simple exchange of an unworn jacket in a smaller size (which would not hurt them financially) would have prevented this review and my distain for KUIU. This experience reminded me of a famous quote by noted author/lecturer/educator Brian Tracy: "The ability to discipline yourself to delay gratification in the short term in order to enjoy greater rewards in the long term, is the indispensable prerequisite for success." KUIU management should read his books on the psychology of sales & marketing. KUIU is rated F by the Better Business Bureau.

    My wife purchased a Katana jacket for me as a gift. The jacket is extremely uncomfortable and pulls at my beard hair which gets trapped in the external material that was used inside the collar. I reached out to customer service by phone. I was told to file a warranty claim from their team. I reached out to explain this material should not have been used inside the jacket and offered to pay the difference for a different jacket. I was told it was not a warranty issue because it was a cosmetic issue. Clearly Kuiu doesn't stand behind what they sell. I have read similar reviews regarding poor customer service and design. This will be the last item I ever purchase from Kuiu. I recommend others steer clear for all the above reasons. I have attached emails of their contrived response so that you can see for yourselves. I think the owner would be ashamed of this resolution considering the company was founded on product testing and supposedly better design.

    Drove from home to Dixon which was an hour and a half. Looked bigger outside than inside but this is where I order my gear and I wanted to return something. Easy return and was helped but the lady who worked there was more customer centric and helpful than the other guy who has already been mentioned in reviews. I get it, it is not a life job so I won't hit the store on that. I knew what I wanted so it was nice to get some help regardless, considering I dropped $1k in clothing and gear. Selection was nice but some sizes were out which means demand is good for their quality items. I got a discount on a few items so I was happy. Didn't realize I double bought two items online and from the store, so will need to head back but there is so much I can buy it won't be a problem or I just keep them since the clothing is so nice and warm for my winter and hunting needs. I bought a backpack the Divide 2000 and it was nice to see it in real life for my hunting needs - definitely a good pickup. I also bought another Guide Jacket in Verde (all my stuff is solid or Vias print). I like KUIU and my experience at their store was good and exceeded my expectations. I spent a nice amount but their clothing and gear is so worth it. Worth a visit if you are into hunting, outdoors or just quality clothing and gear.

    Love all the Kuiu clothing. It's really lightweight, durable, and last a long time. I bought quite a bit clothing for fall, and winter for northern California for waterfowl hunting. I just bought the Kutana stretch woven pants for hot weather hiking and their strong fleece 260 hybrid for a midlayer. Hands down the best outdoor clothing store.

He is incredibly knowledgeable about tuna fishing, does an outstanding job lining reels, and has always treated us with professionalism and respect. He's the reason we've continued to shop there.Unfortunately, our experience with Eric, the manager, has been the complete opposite. My husband stopped in while he was tired and quiet, yet Eric later commented that he came in "crazy," even though my husband hadn't said a word to anyone. That was both unnecessary and disrespectful. This also wasn't our first negative interaction with Eric. On a previous visit while Dave was lining our reels, Eric repeatedly interrupted to tell Dave to make sure we knew we had to pay for the special line marking. We never questioned the charge and had absolutely no problem paying for it. We appreciate Dave's expertise and know quality work deserves to be paid for. When my husband simply said, "It's okay, Dave takes care of me," referring to the excellent service Dave provides, Eric immediately responded, "We all take care of you." The interaction came across as defensive and left us feeling unwelcome. It's unfortunate because Dave is one of the best resources for tuna fishing and reel setup, but management makes the overall experience unpleasant. We'll be taking our business elsewhere, and that's a shame because we genuinely enjoyed working with Dave.

I relied on that and went well out of my way to get there well before closing, only to learn that they had canceled the transaction earlier that morning. Mistakes happen. But what really bothered me was the response. First they blamed me - they said I was late and this was just their policy, despite *two* voicemails from their team member (Michael) telling me otherwise. The manager (Kevin) then told me that *I'd* need to pay for another background check and initially refused to cover it due to their mistake. I later emailed the store manager, Bill Curtis, to explain what happened and give them an opportunity to address it. He did not respond. I don't live anywhere near the store. I relied on their representations and wasted a good part of my day. I'd think twice about trusting them and doing business with them in the future.

It was in both standard and another coating one. I went to check it out. The place is pretty big. They have a lot of merchandise. The handgun and rifle section is really big. The register is at the entrance of the store and I was greeted by the clerk. He told me the rifles were in the back. I went to the back and they are on a number system. So grab a ticket and look around. So much stuff to look at. Just in the gun section was ammo, magazines, parts and so much more. It really is a nice store. I only waited a few minutes and my number was called. It was pretty busy since it was a Saturday. The guy had to look for the rifle I wanted but I told them it was in stock since I had called earlier. He found it in the back and it was on sale. Great price. SO the paperwork is standard to purchase a firearm but each store takes their time so as not to make any mistakes. The process here was pretty fast compared to other dealers. I was happy. I will definitely be watching their sales to get some good deals on merchandise. Good service here.

The first lady I talked to and paid the FasC fee with, helped me with the whole process. And all of the staff that I encountered were very friendly and helpful, throughout every step; making everything as smooth as possible. As far as firearms, while waiting to complete the DROS, I noticed Turner's seemed to have a good selection of pistols and long guns. So after my pickup wait period, I might spend a little more time looking at what they have. They also had a decent amount of accessories too for your own builds and or upgrades.
