The cowboy suede is very similar to the outer material on a heater body suit. 100% dacron knapped polyester.Has anyone owned cowboy suede? I have been intrigued. Gray wolf woolens is within driving distance.

What do you guys use? Any quality silent clothing deserves a post in this thread. Bonus if it’s available in solid colors.
I have Day One bibs made with cowboy suede. Very quiet and durable.Has anyone owned cowboy suede? I have been intrigued. Gray wolf woolens is within driving distance.
I really, really, really want to try their stuff. I've wanted Day-One camo for years and just never seem to stop using my other junk.I have Day One bibs made with cowboy suede. Very quiet and durable.
Following that same concept you could layer an OR helium rain jacket over a mid layer and under your outer. It's a great little rain/wind jacket and weighs about the same as a handful of popcorn. It's actually not overly loud by itself but is not built for brush busting as an outer. I will throw a second up for the winterceptor stuff from Natural gear. It for sure does well blocking wind and is pretty much silent but it is warm for putting on miles and does not have pit zips to vent. The cut is also a little baggy for my preference. Sitka stratus is probably the best of the best for quiet, warm and windproof as well as fit.The easiest most cost effective IMO is surplus stuff and the frogg togg ultralite suit over the mid layer and underneath the outer layer...the FrTo isn't quiet as an outer layer but pretty darn quiet compared to majority windproof jackets under something simple like a field jacket....but I have not experience with the real expensive high end stuff
I bought the same plus the heavy Guide series jacket and pants when Gander was going out of business. The best and use it to this day. Any type of fleece I have owned de-pickered any brush or woods I’ve walked thru and ended up in the trash bin!I bought a bunch of cheap "Guide Series" fleece pullovers and pants from Gander Mountain when they were going out of business.
They are soft, quiet, and warm. It's all I wear once it gets cold, unless it's pouring rain The day they wear out or tear, I'm not sure what I am going to do. I've yet to find suitable replacements that weren't outrageously priced.
I only have bibs at this time, but I am very impressed with them.I really, really, really want to try their stuff. I've wanted Day-One camo for years and just never seem to stop using my other junk.
I have four pairs of military surplus wool pants that I put over a layer of poly, then merino, then the wrangler pants then the wool army pants over the top.
SitkaWhy are so many products marketed to hunters unbelievably loud? The stuff for western hunting seems to be the worst.
I just packaged up over a grand of Kuiu products to catch a ride back to the factory. It’s like a tyvek suit. There is just no way I am going to be able to keep my sanity when I sound like I’m waltzing through a ski chalet.
Is it too much to ask for a product that you can hike endless miles in, give you a little wind protection, and not be the equivalent of a garbage bag?

Sitka
Eh not sure, all i have is elevate 2, does fine on the ground also but my buddies that have the waterfowl stuff is also quiet, waterproof/resistant and windproof. Id imagine most of sitka stuff is. But the stratus and fanatic series as far as woods hunting, cant beat it.What garments in particular that aren’t elevated 2? I know, I’m being picky but I don’t like that pattern for the ground.
