Wool will get a lot of love but for my money it's gray wolf woolens wolfskin

 

I used Asbell's wool Pathfinder this year. I really liked them but needed 2 to hunt Michigan in late season.
I got some good advice before hand and used appropriate layers.
What I like about them is the quite and excellent range of motion in the arm's. I know you can spend more alot of the other wool looks like good stuff but this met my price point and I enjoyed using it.

 

Ditch the plastic shiny stuff...you'll only attract people with that material.

Asbell is on my to buy list. However I have wool from other manufacturers I hunt in. And as far as light reflection from polyester goes....there is none with wool.

.....Cant beat the silence either.....

Wool is the only thing that works, at least in my experience.

 

I got rid of my Sitka whitetail jacket and bibs and went with the Drake hydrohush, I hated the gray and white camo pattern sitka puts out there for late season , they are just as warm and simply will not break the bank And above all whisper quiet……

Tell me which brand you have found to be of great quality.

That's great. I genuinely enjoy it. I'm interested in purchasing this for my December vacation.

 

Wool and fleece generally for quiet.
I have a Day One Camo jacket that's pretty silent Cowboy suede. Winfproof, nice pockets, has arm tie downs. dayonecamo.com
I added a cheap puffer vest this year it it helps a lot - it's under the jacket so any noise doesn't travel far. Good core insulation that was easy to vent . Probably a well known trick I just learned.

 

Wool if it is cold. Have a Muskox wool sweater i have had for 35yrs. Been with me everywhere except Australia.
outters i use old outfitter Columbia Gallitin Jacket and pants. Blizzard proof.

Amazon has a great heavy duty Wool sweater that keeps me super warm and is conveniently sleek for shooting a bow.

 

Amazon has a great heavy duty Wool sweater that keeps me super warm and new phenq amazon is conveniently sleek for shooting a bow.

This one looks very nice, I like sleek cloths.

 

Anyone have Code of Silence line?
If I am missing anything it's a late season super warm piece like Pants and Bibs
Full length zippers!

 

Have the older Columbia Gallatin wool for real cold and below freezing. Have muskox wool heavy sweater For under garment with a soft waterproof shell. Have light weight GI gortex for cold wet weather. Also love a down vest… light warm and does not bind in shoulders to shoot bow. Good wool is hard to beat. Still has warming properties when damp. Wring it out and drive on.

I have discovered the value of the light puffer vest as an insulating layer, esp when the outer layer isn't windproof.
I was asking about the code of silence b/c it is claimed to have the windproof and the wool quietness.

 

another set of windproof bibs for a reasonable price - probably quiet b/c of the fleece facing. Anyone have exp?

OK deals about to come along with the cold - anyone have a pick for a windproof, quiet bottom, ideally with venting? Heavy insulation not required.

 

Our winter bow season is in January and it is cold with snow. I still hunt and track then. I wear KOM wool and merino wool turtle neck with duofold winter underware.

I also use wool Sleeping Indian gaiters too.

 

I have some heavy warm wool, I just lack the warm quiet 100% wind proof layer. I can think of a pants combo I wore that was fine around 20degrees on a sunny day covering some ground that was coooold for me at 40 degrees and a stiff wind

 

I have a custom cam Filson double Mac, Wilson wool shirts, a heavy merino wool pants, a variety of wool long john's, boots from Ely, Mn, a portable tent heater, a variety of things to block wind, and a warm merino wool blanket on my bed, in case it is so cold out, that pieces could freeze up and fall off of me.

 

Columbia Gallatin wool pants and coat. Got them discounted because they are discontinued.

Coldpruf wool base layers with whatever camo shirt I have over the top.

If it's really cold and windy I wear an extra lightweight base layer over the wool base.

 

For those browsing this thread, Nomad has had some great sales this season. Their Cottonwood series is worth a look as if the Conifer. I don't see how the Cottonwood and either a puffy or heated vest can't take you deep into the season. I think their Harvester suit is a super deal as well. Great all around suit that with proper layering you can get a lot of mileage out of but it's not the right suit for super cold weather.

 

I was seriously looking at these. I ended up grabbing a Kings set of bibs on a one day sale. Kings has consistently good reviews.
The thing I really wanted was the full leg zip + windproof. Walk in venting then zip up rather than packing in. Or vent if the day turns warmer on stand.

 

Asbell wool or cabelas berber fleece is usually what I'm wearing

 

I bought cheap Berber Fleece pull overs at Walmart For $10 each. Used 2 to make a double layered vest. Cut the sleeves off one, sewed that vest inside the other. Added full length zippers to both. That gives me 4 layers on my core, one on my arms for non binding movement when drawing. Very warm and dead quiet

 

Update, I went with the Kings Wind Defender XKG on a nice sale price. I used it twice. It's windproof and very quiet. Customer service told me the cheaper hunter fleece one is even quieter (after I had already ordered) but I was fine with the XKG noise level.
The full length zips up and down the sides for ventilation work well.

XKG Wind-Defender Bib Pant

The XKG Wind-Defender Bib Pant focuses on a functional design for the modern hunter. Lightweight, windproof, stretch fleece that is not only quiet, but burr resistant. Flexible sizing allows for proper layering as the season progresses and Polygiene treatment helps reduce detection from wary...

Fleece with a wind stopper layer or wool. Can't get much better for warmth and quiet.

 

got rid of my Sitka whitetail jacket and bibs and went with the Drake hydrohush, I hated the gray and white camo pattern sitka puts out there for late season , they are just as warm and simply will not break the bank And above all whisper quiet…

 

I heard the Drake was silent and warm. I went with the Kings b/c the full length side zips on the bibs.

 

I bought a pullover wool jacket from Sleeping Indian last year and really like it. It’s a little a heavy compared to synthetics but it’s not shiny and so quiet it‘s worth the trade off to me. I wore it on almost every hunt once it dropped down into the 40s—-I just layer accordingly

 

I grabbed these at some point this summer and they're totally quiet enough for close in action.
I like pants like this as an outer layer or a mid. Not 100% windproof but does cut it significantly. Probably as good as a lot more expensive pants.
