This jacket is not silent, so not for hunting. However. this was the first piece of Hooke I bought. I was very hesitant to spend so much on clothes. But the quality is amazing. Not only do I look good, I feel good. I have confidence and comfort while I am out fishing and enjoying the outdoors. This is a perfect lighter jacket over an insulated shirt or regular shirt. Finding out the brand is Canadian is a big plus. I pretty confident these clothes will last a lifetime or many hard seasons. I also cannot find the hidden accessory loop that is how well it is hidden
