I paid attention to other reviewers and bought the jacket a size larger than normal.  I'm glad I did.

The jacket does make some noise, though any waterproof jacket will do that.  It wasn't loud though, and I had no problem taking it hunting.

I took it out last weekend for muzzleloader season.  I was about to call it quits for the day and was removing the primer from my gun when a deer showed up.  I snapped the muzzleloader closed and crouched into position about 35 yards away.  The deer didn't hear a thing and I harvested my first deer of the year.

I found the hood to be a little bulky while I was in the tree stand, but that was because the tether of my safety harness held it up against the back of my head.  I don't notice the hood otherwise, though it seems like it'd be warm.
