Anyone use Sitka incinerator cold weather gear?

I ordered some online and find that the interior fabric is noisy as shit.....the outside brushed fabric isn't bad.

There is no way in hell I could draw my bow on a calm day without getting busted maybe not even on a windy one.... I've tried wearing various soft materials underneath and it makes no difference.

For the ridiculous price of the jacket you wouldn't ever think this would be an issue....anyone else have the same experience or have any suggestions

Send it back and get the Fanatic. Love it, been hunting in it all fall since it got cold for whitetail here in ND. Cross zipper with hand muff is great. I buckle my safety strap through the pocket. Quiet and total wind block. 20 degrees and windy yesterday with a down puffy underneath and was warm.

Had the fanatic and traded it for the Incinerator. Fanatic was a little more quiet but I haven't had any issues with excessive noise while drawing my bow. Only time I noticed any "big noise" was when I would accidentally drag my shoulder across the tree when trying to reposition while standing. Seemed kinda loud but I'm sure most gear is gonna sound Lou's when scraped across tree bark

Sorry if I'm hijacking the thread but how does the first lite sanctuary compare to incinerator as far as warmth. I've heard people compare it more to the fanatic.

Well, I would not worry so much. Frien of mine killed a B&C whitetail in a Kelvin as an outer layer. That is multitudes louder than my Incinerator.

its such a loud wraaaa every time i move my upper body, hopefully it just seems loud because shoulders being in close proximity to your ears and cant be heard for away

I am sure a deer will hear that from a good bit off, especially on a calm day. I am having the same problems finding stuff that is quite, windproof and warm. I am seriously thinking of going back to all wool and a puffy.

This is the problem I'm having--need something warm for COLD sits in the stand but I can't afford to have the bulk either b/c of the bowstring. Been looking at puffy ideas but can't convince myself they are quiet enough. Thoughts?

I wore the fanatic set this year and stayed extremely warm and had no issue with bowstring clearance. It's great gear.
