Most of the lineup uses jacquard knitted fleece-wool and merino wool shells instead of the woven synthetic faces common in hunting apparel. Knit wool fabrics are naturally soft, so they don't rasp or crinkle when you pivot or draw a bow, and they stay quiet in cold temperatures when many synthetics stiffen.

S-18 is Code of Silence's proprietary camouflage pattern. It mimics the branches, colors and textures of the tree canopy about 18 feet off the ground, which makes it well suited to treestand and saddle hunting. The pattern is woven into the fabric rather than printed on top, giving it a lower-reflection, more natural look.

Yes. Treestand and saddle hunters are the brand's core focus. Pieces like the RiverWolf series and the VTS system are built around quiet movement, freedom to draw and shoot, and staying warm through long, still sits at height.

It depends on temperature and how you hunt. Verdigre is a fleece-wool line for mid-season, Zone7 Versa is a versatile jacket and pant for cooler sits through the rut, Coldfjall and FareWinds HighLoft are built for cold weather, and MegaMerino 350 is a heavyweight merino layer for late-season hunts. Our staff can help you build a layering system for how and where you hunt.

Merino wool is naturally antimicrobial, which helps limit the bacteria that cause odor. That makes it a strong choice for long sits and multi-day hunts, and it works best alongside a good scent-control routine.

Code of Silence was founded in 2021 by lifelong Midwest deer hunters, including Ev Tarrell, who spent more than 30 years at Cabela's in roles that included overseeing hunting clothing and product development.
