Quietest puffy

[FredBear86]

What's the quietest puffy yal have come across? Not interested in warmest or lightest or even camo just want something that is pretty doggone quiet. I'll even be wearing something over it at times but want to start with something quiet. I've got suggestions on the uncompahgre and kenai so far

Kuiu Kenai Ultra.
No noise fabric. Pretty warm and compact for the weight. And can get. Hooded/hood less and Camo or solids.

Kuiu Kenai is the quietest I know of by a good margin.

I own the Firstlite uncle padre, arcterx atom LT, kuiu kenai, a couple Costco type cheap down, and Sitka down hoody WS.

Firstlite is the loudest

Dang, you have an array of puffys! That's why this site kicks ass, tons of useful input.

Id have to say the kenai as well. I've had a couple different ones but the kenai is quietest and pretty warm for its weight

I’ve bowhunted and recommend both the Uncompahgre and the kelvin lite hoody. But then again my perception or threshold for noise could be different than yours.

The TruTimber Trusuede looks interesting. They probably aren’t package or light enough for backcountry hunting but could do well for shorter hunts. They are designed to be bow hunting quiet.

Is the fabric on the kenai durable

Another vote for the Kenai Ultra. Either that or you're looking at Hoodies.

My favorite puffy is the Lost Park Parka, but it isn't quiet. After those two also have a number of REI / LL Bean / Cabelas plus an Under Armor down puffy.

I wouldn't expect it to hold up to thorns and continuous brush busting, but my last one made it 4 plus years without any rips or tears...

Thanks for the response, I’m looking for something to wear bird hunting under my vest and to work.

It's a great jacket. One of my favorite pieces of gear. It's pretty lightweight for a puffy, so not for super cold weather, but breathes well, and has pit zips. My go-to early season or more "Active use" puffy.
