What coat

[AZDAVE]

I layered with fleece. Our lowest temp in the morning we saw was 22 degrees. With a mid 60's high. That was in the june time frame.

The only truly quiet fabrics I have found in the bush to be made of wool or pile.

I hunt in blinds, both at night and during the day, and use a couple different jackets that are quiet and scent blocking. I also use them for stalking in brush or crawling in for close shots or shooting prone. Gamehide (Hush Hide) is one that is quiet.

This is another I’ve recently tried in New Zealand. Soft/quiet/dry. Pretty durable too.

Blind hunting in Africa at night, you can hear your heartbeat…

I wear a lot of fleece. A couple of my favorites are pullovers that compress and take up little space in my backpack. They are quiet too. I use smaller daypacks or Gunrunner style with rifle scabbard that are limited for space when mountain hunting.

I wouldn’t be caught dead in anything less than Westley Richards!

The only thing wrong with fleece is if you get caught up in thorns of briars you are going to be there awhile getting unstuck and patching bleeding wounds.

True. You have to tough to wear it! Or carry a tourniquet…

Besides, scars add character and puncture wounds enhance the experience.

I’m a cashmere sweater under a old zip up fleece hoodie
Alpaca or merino wool socks

I hunted Limpopo back in 2012, and what my wife and I used were Fleece jackets bought at Cabelas. We layered for the ride out, and as the day warmed up, we shed the fleece and hunted in cotton shirts.

I had great luck with an Orvis PRO upland softshell jacket in cedar color in Limpopo a couple of weeks ago. Light enough on its own for cool mornings, has pit zips (open wide and work well) and takes thorns very well. Roomy enough to layer under (vest, fleece, both?). Plus has other hunting or outdoor use. If I was hunting at night on the eastern cape where it gets COLD, I’d add a puffy of some kind.
