How wind resistant is the KUIU Guide jacket?
Does it suffice as an outer layer when no precipitation is expected but lots of wind?
Well, wind resistant is the key word. It’s not windproof like say the Sitka Jetstream.
As to how much wind before you feel it through the jacket? I’m not exactly sure. Let’s just say I wore it snowboarding once and won’t do it again, because ripping down a groomer is enough to feel the air moving through the fabric.
Here in MT 40 mph or more winds are not uncommon during hunting season. I don’t find myself reaching for the Guide if it looks like a windy day.
