I'm looking for a warm, very quiet, mid-season jacket recommendation for bowhunting. I'm a trad archer so my shots are always 20 yards or less so a quiet jacket is essential. I have an old Kuiu Kenai that was pretty good but the newer ones seem too fragile and don't fit me as well. What would you folks recommend? Many thanks!
 
I use combinations of an early version sitka 90%, an old Kryptec Kratos primaloft puffy, and an early version sitka Mountain Jacket from August thru mid October.
 
I like the scentlok fleece stuff. Don’t care about the carbon but I like the clothing. Fits good and is really quiet. Seems to hold up pretty well. If you catch a sale you can get a set for pretty cheap.
 
 
Rivers west. I’ve used their heavy weight top and bottom for years. Very warm for the weight due to being 100% waterproof. Very quiet with the old fleece H2O design. Colors are terrible as their camo looks like a kindergarten class experiment. But I am hunting and not in a fashion show.
 
Sitka Traverse Jacket

This is as quiet as it gets from my experience, I’ve had Stratus, fanatic, and now a kuiu proximity LT and the Traverse hoodie is dead quiet. An old fanatic lite was a killer jacket too if you can find one used. The traverse doesn’t have windstopper is the only downside, they wouldn’t have to make the stratus if it did.
