None whatsoever. The times I have used mine I’ve had deer very close and have been able to move (slowly) without being detected due to noise from the suit. Also, the base material is very breatheable and keeps you cool during hot and humid conditions. One thing I would recommend is that you use a good arm guard so as to avoid any string contact during the shot. I’ve read where some users cut around the forearm to prevent this, but I opted not to so as not to damage the suit. Good Luck.

Go get yourself 4-5 tennis balls and throw the suit and balls in the dryer, do that a few times and it helps. Wash in between. It will get better in time.

LB has it right. Wash it a couple times and tumble dry with tennis balls. The more you wash it the better it becomes. Don't be afraid to trim your bow arm either.

I bought one years ago at Denton Hill. It's very noisy. I can't say it's gotten any better over the years, I've never had faith in it because of that. My buddy has one and his leaves are made of a different material, they're soft and very quiet. It's always seemed like a waste of money. Good luck, hope it quiets down for you.

NO ISSUES WITH NOISE AFTER A HANDFUL OF WASH/DRY CYCLES :)

The ASAT leafy suit is superb if you keep the wind across or in your face. I've had critters walk right up to me.

No noise on mine and its my second season wearing it... I took pictures of several leafy and ghillie suits I owned - wish I could post them cause its freaky how much better this suit is... deer look right through me. Hardest part was actually learning just how little cover I needed to work with - found out less was more cause you blend in anywhere

The only noise I’ve had from mine is the zipper on the legs hitting my stand. Now I just tuck the pants into my boots. I’ve also washed mine a couple of times.

I'm like Blackstick! But it sounds quiet even with the hearing aids.

No problems with noise with mine. Good tough fabric too.
