Silent Face

A face that does not rustle when it moves against itself, so stalking, waiting and slow movement stay unheard. In hunting and field observation, sound gives a position away faster than colour

How it works

Quiet comes from the face

Fabric noise comes from the high-frequency vibration of fibres when two surfaces rub. A brushed face replaces a smooth, crisp weave with a short standing nap that absorbs that energy instead of transmitting it. A textured or brushed backer reduces the contact area between layers, so movement inside the garment stays quiet too

Performance Profile

Evidence-led proof points explain what this material technology delivers. Values depend on construction and verified testing.

01 Low-Noise Face

Low-Noise Face

The face is brushed, so what rubs is a short standing nap rather than a smooth woven surface. The vibration that makes a typical shell crackle is absorbed instead of transmitted. Pushing through brush, shifting position, raising an arm — the sound of moving is kept down

02 Soft Knit Surface

Soft Knit Surface

A knit is softer than a woven by construction: the yarns have room to move, so the fabric yields rather than tensions, and its folds are rounded instead of sharp. A stiff fabric still cracks when it folds, however well brushed its face. A soft knit surface with a textured pile cuts the contact area between layers, bringing down the noise inside the garment as well
