    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.

    This review is about the sales staff and lack of communications at Camping World Vacaville…read more Have driven 150 miles r/t to pick up our used RV three times and it's still not ready. They have a serious internal communication problem. Purchased 5/5/26. Appt was set for 5/9 9am to pick it up. Arrived to find they were still waiting for parts. Set another appt for 5/18. On 5/17 we asked our salesman if it was ready but were told they wouldn't be able to check until service dept opened the same time we were scheduled to pick it up, but he believed it would be ready. He texted us as we arrived that it was not ready. Made another appt for 5/26. Salesman told us 5/25 he had personally verified it was ready to go. On walkthrough we came up with 10 items still not finished (from the windshield not being replaced to the rig not having enough diesel for us to verify the generator was working). We had paid for the extra detailing and the rig was still dirty. So we've driven 450 miles, spent 8 hours on the road, $170+ on gas, and 7+ hours at Camping World and still don't have the RV we paid for. Oh, and the warrantee & Good Sam membership is ticking down because all that starts on the day you make the purchase. If they manage to make this right I will update this review. UPDATE: We were able to pick up the RV on the 4th try. The new mattress (standard on all RVs purchased from CW) was the wrong one. Salesman told us we needed to jerry-rig it ourselves to make it fit. We pushed back and were directed to the service desk. They instantly saw the problem and ordered the correct mattress (still waiting on it). The general manager offered us $200 max in compensation for the issues picking up the RV. 45 min later he said upper management said to make that $700. That feels like a good amount for the money & time we wasted so we accepted. Last issue: The flat tow package we had agreed on (to be installed on our car) was switched to a tow dolly without talking to us. It's huge, doesn't store vertically, and doesn't fit in our garage. We were shell-shocked and stupidly left with the item, so I doubt there is any chance they'll ever fix it.

Finally decided to go back to get a couple nice pairs of walking shoes and was very happy with that decision. Service was great! Got my feet scanned and sized and then the lady helping me asked me a few questions to determine my needs. She advised me on the type of shoe I needed for my arch and angle of my feet. I told her I was hoping to find something on sale and she brought me all of the shoes that fit my need that were also on sale. I ended up taking home two of the pairs I tried on and have been happy with them. Value for me was good - finding them on sale.

They do custom fittings, have a rewards setup, and the stores are always clean and easy to shop. Reliable, just wish there were more shoe options.

It made me excited to rent from this business. My booking was for 4th of July and even before I booked I did speak with them about booking and they gave me their advice. Day of, I called to let them know I'd be running a little late past my booking time, I spoke with Jamie and she said thank you for the heads up, we'll see you soon." I arrive for her to tell me that all state parks are full and she blocks bookings off after 11, knowing that I booked for 11:30.

What I do not appreciate was her tone and attitude with us versus other customers, her not giving us a heads up knowing we were running late, and she still gave people more of the options of getting their rentals and where they can try versus what felt like she was simply dismissing us. May try to come again, but for a 2 hour drive and to receive customer service like that in person versus whoever I previously spoke to on the phone- to be determined.

This just goes to show you how important a seasoned veteran rafting guide is Juli was amazing. He gave clear instructions, he was very calm, and he managed the raft like a pro. No no flipping over and no one fell out. So exciting! Now I want to go to Costa Rica and look up Whitewater excitement there and request Juli. Hope to do this at least one more time this year. If I lived closer, I would go more often. Ps- I read some people complaining that you have to pitch in to carry the raft from the water up to the trucks and from the trucks down to the water, I've only been with one company that did not ask you to do that.

The group we rafted with was cohesive and kind, and the guides were patient, but challenging. We had the opportunity to be part of a rowing school and to understand the "science" of rafting. Examples of instruction were navigating into an eddy, ferrying across a current to the other side of the river, tying off a boat, setting up angles, and reading currents were just a few skills that were taught. Sierra Mac and our group was welcoming, eager to teach, and patient all the while giving appropriate feedback. The instruction truly was "hands on" as we got the opportunity to take a turn at rowing to learn the basic mechanics of boat rowing.

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.
