Sitka JetStream Jacket Solids Noise

[PhotoHunter]

Love my Jetstream jacket in Optifade, So I ordered another in moss color because they are on sale (discontinued). The first thing I notice is how much more noise the outer material makes. It is very noticable. Sitka support says they are aware of the noise difference, but the material is the same exact material as in the Optifade. What? If it was the same, the noise would be the same.

Anybody else notice this?

I have a camo one and a black one. i only use the black one for town stuff, so i haven't noticed a difference in sound, but do in feel.

I've got a camo and a solid color.
According to the tag the camo has a polyester shell material and the solid has a nylon shell

i remember having a black jetstream for a bit and i remember the same. The outer is kinda course and rough on the solid and smooth on the open country one.

Could be also that your optifade one is quieter since you've worn and washed it multiple times. Fabrics can break in a bit over time.

@Saleen1382 I checked the labels - 1 is polyester (quiet), the other is Nylon. Customer service said they are the same.

Thanks for the replies.

I did the same thing. Have an Optifade which I love. Just opened a package with the solid color I received today and it is really noisy. The older jet stream has Gore-Tex Windstopper embroidered on the sleeve. The one I received today has Gore-Tex Infinium embroidered on the sleeve. The Optifade says 100% polyester and the solid color says 92% polyester and 8% elastane/spandex on the tags. I don't think I like it and I'm thinking of returning it.

Ive had a moss version for a few years and its not noisy anymore. No experience with the camo colors. Id say it has to do with the pattern being printed on it.
