They really improved it from the first ones out! Didn’t have any issues with whitetails at 5 yards on silent evening hunts. Was able to draw back and kill my buck without him hearing a thing! It was a dead silent, very cold evening!

Sorry I do not have a weight on them but I wouldn’t consider them as a packable garment for the backcountry.

I have the Kryptek Vellus jacket and really don't like how loud it is. Do you have any experience with the Vellus and can you tell me how the noise of it compares to the Aegis? Thanks...

You think the fleece of the Vellus is too loud? I have a review on here as well about the Vellus kit and the quietness is one of the things that I liked most about it. The fleece is definitely quieter than the Aegis material. Fleece (Vellus) is the quietest material of all in my opinion. I am really confused how yours is loud? I had a whitetail buck directly below me at 14 feet and got away with all kinds of movement with 0 breeze. Pretty dang quiet fleece!

Here is the Vellus review.

Kryptek Vellus Review - Rokslide

Fleece really has become a material of the past in the hunting arena, but it may be making its comeback just like other garments from yesteryear! Several years back, Kryptek introduced a new line of fleece clothing and it remains in their platform of hunting clothing. This Vellus kit comes in...

I totally agree the the outer fleece layer is super quiet but it's like there's an inner layer of something? Maybe the water proof layer? Idk? Thanks for your response.

Anyone have anymore opinions on this and the Vellus line?

Need some late season gear and thinking about the aegis and Vellus or possibly the Sitka incinerator and stratus set.

This would be archery hunting so quiet is my biggest concern as well as warmth

I have used them both extensively in the Kryptek pattern. The Vellus is quieter than the Aegis. Would you be on the move or in a stand/blind? If on the move in snow I would lean towards the Aegis. If still I would lean towards the Vellus. Bit if on the move the Aegis will be too warm in temps above 20 degrees unless you are not exerting yourself a great deal.

It would be for stand use. I have a couple mile hike in that I climb 1500 or so feet then would be sitting all day long. I get cold easily and it’s a north facing slope that doesn’t see much sun. This would be for late oct-dec in Utah on a late season archery hunt……


I would like minimal layers as I would be hiking in just a base layer top and pants. Can add a layer or two but want/need something warm and quiet
