My question is.....is this rain suit "noisy"? I understand its waterproof, but is it made out of "tarp-like" material? Noisy like a tarp when moving?

It's not noisy at all. It is a cloth material. Best rain suit we have ever bought.

This isn't the one I purchased but if it's made out of the same material, polypropylene, then no, it's not noisy. Mine and my husbands is very quiet.

Not it's not noisy, but it's not waterproof either, it says it is but it's not

not very noisy at all.....feels like more of a paper material and may be just a tad noisy if it's loose fitting on you...i wore mine over my clothes and it was just more bulky than anything else

You wouldn't want to wear it if you were hunting and needed to be quiet, but it isn't any noisier than your average rain gear.

No, I do not think it's noisy. Wore it a couple of times going to Strugis this year and it was great!

They are Not noisy at all! They are made of more like a "cloth like" material rather than a "tarp like" material. I really enjoyed the tuffness and the fit!

While I haven't had the occasion to put the item to the waterproof test, I would expect it to be waterproof. However, I do caution that the material (seemingly some sort of vinyl/vinyl-like material bonded to fabric) is extremely thin and wonder if its durability would be adequate to meet the needs of an active 5-year old.

I bought this rain suit for my son to wear when he went to the boundary waters to canoe. He wore it a couple of times there and has only used the jacket a few times after - so he hasn't really put it to the test like construction would. I would classify this as a medium weight suit. It isn't a cheap one that will rip right away, but it isn't the most heavy duty either. I honestly can't say that it would hold up to the construction test.

It works fine in the rain, It gets wet, but doesnt soak through very fast. I wear it pretty much from mid march to early october, . I run my Marathons in it.. You will wear it all the time once you get it. Just buy it, Nuff said.

I use it for playing disc golf in heavy rain. It's a real waterproof rain suit, not a lightweight water resistant type suit.

Its not silent nor is it a crinkle bag. Definatly quiter than most rain coats.

I guess so, it's semi water proof on one side and the other is a different fabric, I haven't tested it's stealth qualities, but I'm sure it will be quiet enough for you. It will be just as loud as your clothes.

This is a pretty expensive suit to be running around on dinghies. Though it is strudy (not fragile), I could see you catching it on sharp items. You could probably buy 50 - 100 throw away rain suits for the price of this drysuit. Otherwise, the drysuit should do the job. I'd just be nervous catching it on something. Good luck.

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.

It is a woven canvas like cloth fairly heavy. Seems durable enough, I never have it out when it is raining so don't know if it is a water repellent fabric or not, I have it mounted back under the eaves so it doesn't ever get wet. Sorry this wasn't any more help for you.

It's not waterproof but you'd have to be very unlucky. There is a lot of padding and multiple layers. It'd need a lot of rain to be a problem I think. So much rain I'd be looking for a bloke with an arc full of animals...

It will keep rain off your head, but I wouldn't consider it to be serious rain gear. Great fun at a ball game!

It def. Is! Ive ridden in very heavy rain and I have not had a single problem. As long as youre not physically dipping it in water, rain water is not an issue. And to top it off, I had a problem with mine a while back due to it not charging and amazon customer service was AMAZING. Product was replaced and sent to me in ONE day. Recommend you purchase!

I don't have it in front of me, but it's just regular lightweight raincoat material. Feels more like fabric inside, and the outside has a plastic/rubbery feel. It's very lightweight. Not insulated.

I don't intentionally ride in the rain but I have been caught in it. Since it does have stitching, I would guess it has a little water resistance.

I don't think it is waterproof. It is a heavier material though and it doesn't soak through easily. I've never had a problem with it being in the rain. the outside gets wet, but never the inside.

I used it in the rain without the rain fly with no problem. Was it a downpour? No. Just some typical NE weather in the Summer, and I was bone dry in there
