Anyone use the pants and jacket for cold weather stand hunting?

Is it noisey?

Any other info would be appreciated

I have the full "happy" suit, the extreme cold weather stuff.  I will not wear it for deer hunting because of is noise.  This stuff is amazingly warm so I am kind of sad about not being able to use it.  I have thought about putting a old pair of coveralls over it to cut down the sound but I dont think the extra bulk will help.  

So with it being so noisy it only gets used on some crazy cold days when I am duck hunting.  The coldest I have experienced with it on was 4 degrees, wind chill at -11, and I rode my dirt bike into work.

Edit:  My stuff is the USMC issue stuff.  Coyote brown.  Im not sure if there is different outer fabric so my observations are based on what I have.  Here is a link to what I have.

Also If you want I can try to get a video of me drawing with the top on so you can hear what it sounds like.

The military bear suit is nice(military surplus stores) If you can find a pair of Navy watch pants and coat from back in the day they are the best I ever wore. Made with a wool lining quiet and they come up to your kidney for a full back cover when sitting.
