Don’t know if Michigan will get temps like Wisconsin but can’t wait to test it. I’m into failure testing so I know exactly what I can handle with the cold and suit. Thanks for the comment!
The exterior fabric does make a noise when you move. When rubbing the fabric together, it’s a tad louder than fleece but a lot less noise than a regular jacket (like a North Face). I think the sound level is similar to rubbing your hand over a soft pair of blue jeans if that makes sense. Having said that, I’d imagine the wind proof membrane will add to the noise when the temps drop below freezing. Hopefully that helps a little. Let me know if you have any other questions.
