Hooded jacket: Quiet, windproof, waterproof, not made in slave factories - does it exist?
I suppose I can go for water 'resistant' if it's absolutely necessary.

Outdoor Research Infiltrator. If you quality for their Pro Purchase program, the pricing is much more palatable.
If plan A didn’t work, the alphabet has 25 more letters.
I had a hard time finding info about OR's country of origin, all I managed to find was that they have a Seattle factory where they make Berry compliant articles for the DOD such as gloves. I take it they have moved production of more items back home then?
edit: nevermind, found the different entries in their catalog. Only a 50 dollar markup for the USA made item? It boggles the mind why people would buy the slave factory item.

OR's tactical line is usually made CONUS and according to Tactical Distributor's page, the Infiltrator jacket is US-made. But I'm pretty sure the rest of their civie line made OCONUS.

Triple Aught Raptor but it's not cheap.

I have a TAD gear raptor and it is nice. Very light, easy to pack and H2O proof. Not cheap but.....buy once cry once.
look up Carhartt, in fact i'm shopping for one this weekend
How quiet are we talking about here? Is your typical hardshell too loud?
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

Yes, that's the idea. I've only found one example so far that's actually quiet, it's made for hunting. It has an outer layer of polyester on top of the goretex to quiet it down.
Unfortunately it seems to be made in Turkey but so far my best bet.
I'm looking for something that I can use for everything, including hunting, I'm not interested in filling my coat rack with different outerwear.
Is your standard ECWCS Goretex mil jacket too noisy?
