chipshot.....the fabric seems great as far as quietness goes. I had mine non-insulated but lined with his stealth fleece which will add a little warmth. I have always worn just a light fleece coat and pants for all of my bowhunting but burrs and rain were a pain with it. Seem this type of material is still quiet yet will be better for the burrs and is supposed to shed the water. I think these will prove to be better than my current hunting clothes for warmth and keeping more of the elements out......rain, wind and the cold. Maybe I'll try to wear then outside this weekend a litte and be able to give you a better report.
