Overview

Quiet two-layer softshell hunting vest with stretch, durable water-repellent treatment and 37.5 moisture-management technology.

WHAT MATTERS

Quiet 37.5 Softshell
Quiet stretch softshell uses 37.5 technology and a DWR finish for moisture management and light weather resistance.
37.5 Active Particle Technology
The lining manages moisture and supports core-temperature regulation.
Odor Management
The 37.5 fabric system traps human odor and releases it during laundering.
Built-In Stretch
Stretch construction supports full upper-body range of motion.
DWR Softshell Exterior
The exterior repels light snow and rain while helping block wind.

GTW TAKE

“

JUST ENOUGH PROTECTION WITHOUT ANOTHER JACKET

A really useful “just enough” layer. It adds meaningful core protection without the bulk, heat, or movement restriction of another full jacket. Vests make a lot of sense in an active hunting system, particularly when conditions are too cool for a shirt alone but nowhere near puffy-jacket territory.
Adds warmth and wind resistance where it matters most.
Leaves arms completely unrestricted.
Quiet enough to function as hunting outerwear rather than simply a generic softshell.
Tradeoff: Limited value once weather becomes truly cold or wet.
