Would this be suitable for deer hunting too? My son wants some both warm and quiet

I think it would. It's a great coat. It doesn't have the type of material on the outside that makes the noises when you move.

After using this jacket for a year I find it to be bulky, cumbersome, not really that warm although it looks warm and most dissapointing of all it absorbs water because the fabric is poorly treated with water repellent. Also, amazon users constantly ask my opinion via amazon which makes my head explode. It's Christmas time-- leave me alone!

I would think it would work well. The material is similar to a wet suit or neoprene waders.

No it doesn't. Too stuffed for that. Very noisy shell on it so I don't use it for hunting. Comfortable though for ice fishing etc.

Well Cameron you should buy one,mine is nice and comfy,luckily it doesn't come with a poncho - who needs all that bulk unless u sleep outside. Good luck.

If very cold, no. Just not warm enough. I feel you need something that is fleece inside and out to stay warm enough. Having camped in very, very, icy weather in Colorado mountains, I'd suggest a fleece pant. These aren't that warm and the air will go through the knit.

My son says they are pretty good quality for the price. He uses then for deer hunting.

I heard on an interview with the founder of Ozonics Dennis Fink on "Big Buck Registry Deer Hunting Podcast, episode #72" that you can use it indoor to eliminate odors. Just check out the podcast it answers a lot of question.

In my younger days I managed to enjoy trap shooting and enjoy hunting and fishing. So, having said that, I don't believe these would get in your way while shooting. Shot guns/rifles would have the butt below your ear and the stock just below your cheek. As an aside, they are very comfortable to wear, which is a 'must' if you'll wear them any length of time. My purpose is to use it in my hobby room where noise is a distinct problem from shop vacs, air compressors, etc. These work great for me.

They would work well for stick fighting... my husband uses them for hunting and shotting

Yes. We live in the pacific NW and my son uses this in a downstairs bedroom where it's cool. We needed to purchase him a blanket that is not Down. He loves it. However, if you are not allergic to Down feathers and you want something warm I'd recommend Down comforters.

I've used it while sitting up in a deer stand recently, and it's definitely quiet enough to not spook any game that might be close by. It's definitely NOT as quiet as a wool blanket mind you, but the light weight of this poncho liner balances that out in terms of pros and cons. It's also much easier to stuff into your ruck when not using it.

Yes, it's fairly noisy for hunting unless you find a way to silence it . But it's great for target practice where noise isn't a factor .

In short, I would say it will be too warm. However, because it takes up so little space and is a quality sleeping bag, take it anyway. For warmer nights bring a thin blanket and use the sleeping bag as a mattress.

Yes. Perfect for around a camp fire or practice. Not too loud but acceptable.

Yes it's pretty thick. I used it for deer hunting and kept it in a back pack. I'd look at a Spydeco or something along that line. It's real thick.

No, it is not considered safe to hunt deer with a rifle of this power. It is mainly for pest control and small game.

it's not as heavy as my Norwegian military wool socks but they are not lite hikers either I wore mine deer hunting in NE pa. with high quality uninsulated Gor-Tex boots, was warm enough, they fit tight no seams and with adequate cushion. I'm happy.

I would probably look for something a little lighter and less restrictive. It was great for chilly / rainy fishing, but I don't think I'd enjoy golfing in it.
