Jacket recommendations?

[smoke]

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.

Just following along here. My concern with the above is the clothing cut. Are they bulky or more of an athletic fit?

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.

Neither in my opinion. Pretty standard fit. They call it a bowhunter fit where excess fabric is kept to a minimum but I don't find it an overly athletic cut.

KUIU Guide jackets have served me well. Ive got a couple of them.

I guess that I'm old and think "old school"…..wool. Wool is about as silent as you can get! Wool is great unless it gets wet, still insulates but gets heavy when wet!
