Deer and elk hear a sleeve scraping a branch long before they see you. Quiet hunting clothes use soft faces that don't swish or crackle: soft-shell, brushed tricot and fleece instead of stiff nylon. Everything on this page is a piece the maker describes as quiet.

What makes hunting clothes quiet

  • Soft-shell faces. Vycah Mission and Kinsley jackets, pants and vests use Vycah's "Ultra Quiet" polyester soft-shell over Berber fleece. Mission is the thinner early-to-mid-season layer. Kinsley is insulated for cold sits.
  • Brushed tricot. DSG Outerwear's Ava 3.0 softshell and Breanna 2.0 sherpa pieces have a brushed outer that DSG calls quiet. Women's cuts, see women's hunting camo.
  • Performance fleece. Sportsman Gear's Drifter jackets, bibs and pants use a quiet, water- and wind-resistant fleece.
  • Quiet wraps for the stand. The Killz Heater Body Suit and the Brella fleece poncho go over your layers for long, still sits.

When quiet matters most

Bowhunting, still-hunting and stalking, where a deer can be inside 30 yards and your arm has to move to draw. Climbing into and sitting in a stand, where jackets rub on rails, harnesses and bark. Cold mornings, when hard shells stiffen and get louder.

Pick by season

  • Early season: lighter soft-shell like the Vycah Mission jacket and pant, which have zippered vents.
  • Mid to late season: insulated soft-shell like the Vycah Kinsley jacket and pant, or Drifter bibs.
  • Coldest sits: add an insulated wrap like the Heater Body Suit over your quiet layers.

Quiet ratings come from each maker's own description. Venator has not field-tested every piece listed.
