Is the Jetstream more or less the same as the Kuiu DCS Guide jacket?
I was just looking at the new Kuiu Axis Hybrid jacket. Not sure how it would fit into a system, but for snowy or wet hunts or times when I want a more robust shell it may have a place .
Have all three. I would say the Axis and the Jetstream are more comparable. Both shed water better, are warmer, and definitely offer better wind resistance than than DCS IME.
After running the DCS for two seasons not really a fan. I think the Axis is better overall soft shell and addresses what for me are the DCS's shortcomings. Just my opinion. I know guys that swear by their Guide jackets. Between the Jetstream and the Axis I prefer the Axis only because I like the cut of it better with the longer back. Again, personal preference.
