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.

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.

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.

not out of the box, but with some light tuning, it would be good for small game, it doesn't have enough pounds to take out a deer. The arrows that come with it, also are fixed tips, so you would need arrows cut to have a hunting tip, as they are field tips.

I am a turkey hunter but not a big game hunter, I use this for Duck and Goose hunting and it is awesome. For waterfowl it is a "Home-run", for shooting a bow or rifle for turkey or big game......probably not the right blind. You can unzip the side windows and the front part slides down and when we get up to shoot geese, we just throw the front down and start shooting. Not sure that would work for a turkey or deer, at least the ones in Colorado or Nebraska it probably would not work.

I used this material for window covering in my deer blind. It works fine for me. Blind is elevated about 6feet and I doubled the netting because I thought it a little transparent and doubling work out.. sight range 120 yrs or so over woods and small field. I think it will fill your need but only you can make that judgement call. I would buy it again if needed.. good luck on your hunting.

Well Pat, I'm a novice whn it comes to bow hunting, last month I harvest my first doe with the Inferno crossbow at 20 yards n 2 wild pigs. For the money it was a great deal and experience for myself. He should have fun with it. Good luck

They would be fine for hunting from a stand. They might be a little heavy for a hunter that does a lot of walking. I use them for deer hunting from stands and they are great. For much walking I would use a chest strap to take the weight off my neck and keep them from swinging. Hope this helps.

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

I mainly bought it for hog, but have not had the opportunity to go deer hunting yet. Although, I plan on going soon (this year)! As far as it being good for deer hunting, I read 100s of reviews before settling on this one and saw many cases where people had taken down decent size deer with it. I would think you need to be decent at tracking as I doubt you will drop it where it stands, but once you get it sighted in and can make a fairly accurate kill shot, it shouldn't be hard to find. Also, I did purchase some broadheads to go with it as well. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions and I will answer them if I can. ;)By the way, I assembled it in under 10 minutes. Very Easy!

I used it elk hunting once last year camped at 7800 ft. Temperatures in the 20's and 30's but no snow. I found it to be comfortable. It heated up comfortably with just a two mantle propane lantern, but not as quickly as my old 9x9 canvas umbrella tent.

Yes, it is great for deer hunting. I use it all season here in South Carolina. Very powerful and easy to load in the stand. Get the scope sighted in correctly and it will be deadly to deer, hogs, and turkey.

i thought it was noisy when it's really still out ,but when it's windy it's not noticeable. it of course has a fan in it so it's gonna have some noise to it. ( i'm sending mine back) got busted a few time while bowhunting thinking it would do the job on downwind deer ....hard to beat a deers nose.

Only used it in a ground blind for deer..but it is very quiet and very portable. No squeeks or anything from the metal parts and I was wearing fleece so no fabric noise from my clothes against the chair fabric. Might be an sound issue if your wearing goretex. Folds up very nice and with the adjustable carry strap makes it easy to move from blind to blind. The only improvement I would make is to widen the shoulder strap and possible lengthen the legs a couple of inches. I'm 6-6 so about 2 more inches on the chair legs would would be perfect for me.

It is not made out of mylar so it doesn't crinkle loudly like emergency blankets if that is what you are worried about. Now that said it isn't jersey cotton either, the rain repellent side feels like parachute fabric while the inside is a softer warmer fabric meant to keep you comfortable. I would think you are good to use it for hunting, at the very least it is worth a try. I have two and rave about them.

We used it last summer when we went camping in the NC mountains. Night time temps got down into the upper 50's and the kept us plenty warm. The sleeping bag is not overly thick and should work great for you.
