The day I discovered COS, all my other hunting clothes went into bins never to be worn again. Best gear for the dollar I’ve ever encountered. I highly recommend to anyone I know who’s shopping for new hunting clothing. Ev is salt of the earth too. He walks the walk, and talks the talk when it comes to hunting and gear. They’ve got a life long customer whether they want me or not!
COS finally a true bow hunting whitetail dedicated clothing company! Great job Ev and Bill!!! Lord willing will be ordering a full set…bibs and parka real soon!
I have the Coldfjall jacket and bibs and the Zone-7 suit. Coldfjall is unreal warm, and you will absolutely not get cold. Zone-7 is the perfect rut suit. Love my COS stuff
Got the z7 dialed in bib a few months ago and it made my long sits so much more enjoyable. I never thought about the seam between the pants and jacket until you mentioned it in 1 of your videos. For sure getting the jacket next year
Really excited about the base layers for next year. It’s nice to be able to buy the entire clothing system from one company. Will likely be swapping over to this for next season. Thank you for this review
I'm glad you did this video Bill, that is some of the most comfortable and warm looking cold weather gear that I have ever seen, love the fleece. I've used a lot of different brands over the last 10 years but my favorite jacket is still a 20 year old Cabelas fleece jacket with their wind stopper in it and the Code Of Silence looks very similar but improved!!
My guess is that Ev was the one that created that series at Cabela's so many years ago. This is very nice stuff and for the price it is super hard to beat.
I've been wearing mis-matched hand-me-downs and layering up with anything I can find for several years. Time to step up my game. I'm adding COS gear to my Christmas list.
I learned of CoS from your channel, Bill. Never been as excited about apparel. Slowly buying everything on the line up. Been using the Verdigre so far down here in Texas and I never knew camo could be so comfortable. I’m trying to wear the Zone 7 vest but it’s too warm! Very pumped about the base layers hopefully coming.
I have heard that this clothing is designed by the person who designed the cabela's clothing before they were ruined by bass pro. I know the old wooltimate was some of my favorite clothing.
Did Bass Pro ruin Cabela's, or did the greed of the Cabela's owners prior to selling out ruin Cabela's? Bass Pro did what Bass Pro is gonna do, maximize profit. It was a choice Cabela's made to abandon their decades long business model and sell out to the corporate monster model.
@@huntsimple9527 I suppose the answer to that is only known by the people involved. But one thing is certain, cabelas has not been the same since. They used to be my go to for almost everything hunting related. Now, I rarely shop there.
have alot of Ev's stuff he did for cabelas and it is good but as i replace it I think code of silence will be my go to. in the world of hunting clothing "after getting a zone 7 jacket" i think not only is it a top tier jacket but the price is out standing for what it is.
This clothing line looks great! I really like the colors and the softness of the clothing! One thing for sure if Bill is talking about it then it’s the real deal. I’d buy site unseen if he said it’s good gear! I’m in the woods daily and quiet warm clothing is a must!
Only downside is the fleece picks up burrs and stick-tights so you need to avoid those areas or (as I do) carry it to the stand and put it on when you get there. Good luck.
Yes, I bet he adds one someday. I thought that also. Maybe there is something that makes it hard to produce a bib that thin in this material. Not sure.
Thanks for the info Bill! Just ordered a set of Dialed In bibs. Been looking a long time for uninsulated wool bibs. Can’t wait to use them late Illinois season! Milo
Got my bibs today- super fast shipping for economy. The bibs are absolutely well made and the fit is perfect( Large Reg. N I’m 6-1 205). I wore at 35 degrees and was perfectly comfortable with single under layer and my deer jacket over top. I am so glad I listened to Bill (finally lol) and bought these. I cannot recommend enough!! Milo
Have been using the sitka fanatic bibs & pull over for a few years now & they do a good job but just can’t keep justifying the pricetag for sitka gear…… this line of clothing looks high quality for the pricetag & even better than brands like sitka/first lite. Also have seen nothing but good reviews for COS. Definitely gonna pick up the zone7 zip up & doublepack. Great video as always
We like to pick on Ev about that cap. When I first started working with him back in 2004 the line we came up with had a hat very similar to that in style. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Have a great day.
Let me tell you what all we have got from code of silence this season. Well actually the last month. My wife and I both hunt so she got me the cold fall bibs and jacket. I got her the parka and pants in the zone 7. Then I ordered one of each of the back packs. And 2 of those hats. I love this gear. The hats make you look like Elmer Fudd but I love a hat with the short bill for bow hunting. That hat is the best thing ever. We would have gotten Candi the cold fall but the bibs didn’t come in a small. But no complaints on the Code of silence gear. Thanks Bill for advertising things that really work. Now we all have got to order our Bowhunting Whitetails merchandise!! Luke 9:62
Thanks Gouch. Yes, we have been very impressed with all the Code of Silence garments. Ethan and I love to make fun of Ev for that hat design. (Ethan and Ev both have the same hometown in Kearney, NE). Ev has some fancy name for that hat that isn't published. Stormy Chromer or something like that. Good old Ev. He is awesome.
I would buy that larger backpack in a heartbeat if it had an adjustable torso system. I tried that pack at a retailer and love everything about it, but it does not fit longer torsos. Thanks for the detailed review of the COS gear. Thank you.
Makes sense. I will mention it to Ev. He is very good at listening to customers so maybe that feature will be part of the next generation. Have a great day.
I will checkout Archery Country for sure. That double pack is going to be big. Lots of guys going way back. I regularly ride a bike & cart setup for 2 miles & then walk about another 500 yards to sit. U have a much larger demographic for customers that do this than the guys that have a dream set-up. We have a much lower margin for error so anytime u can add something, even if it's just ounces, it's a big thing. I also like the hand muff thing since I climb with a rope & heavy, bulky gloves don't work for that so I'm looking forward to that. Functional, practical & efficient is all that I ask for so I'm looking to cover those bases 1st & foremost.
I think you will like this stuff Joseph. You may like the bigger pack as it has a light internal frame to give it even more support along with a waist belt for carrying heavier loads on your hips as well as your back. Good luck.
My only regret is my larger pack that isn't as functional as my smaller pack. But with the COS I could put my Wild Edge platform in that extra pouch & put other gear in the pack. My climbing line is in a bundle & I keep that outside the pack. Just one buckle strap holds it in place while the carabiner for my rope goes through a loop on the top of the pack. Very light but as I get older a smaller pack just won't hold the cold weather gear I need to perform @ a high level. 😮😮😮
I would not be surprised if this guy developed the Cabela's Berber series. I have a jacket from 12 years ago and still my all time favorite mid season jacket. I saw him at the classic this year and this line of clothing is great. To bad we can't get someone to design a ladder stand like they use too. Now a days they are design for shipping instead of hunting. Too many parts, screws, so you end up with something that you're afraid to move on it. Because it's going to make noise.
Good Lord willing and He Blesses me to live another year i will be purchasing a good bit of Code of Silence. Looking forward to seeing the new stuff coming out 🏹🏹🏹
Bill, I'm curious. Were you wearing the Zone 7 Dialed In bibs, with the Zone 7 Versa jacket while hunting with Ev? Or were the bibs and jacket both the Dialed In series? I have the Dialed In bibs, but was curious if the Versa Jacket would work with them to save a little bit of bulk? Love your channel! Thanks!
Michael, I would not hesitate to mix those lines. I believe I was wearing the Versa jacket www.codeofsilence.com/collections/jackets-and-tops/products/zone7-versa-hooded-jacket with the Dialed In bibs www.codeofsilence.com/collections/pants-and-bibs/products/zone7-dialed-in-pant. Works well for me. Good luck and have a great day.
Anyone been caught in the rain with the COS gear? Is it water resistant or proof? Looks like it might soak up like a sponge. I’m def intrigued by it, looks quiet as heck! And warm I might add
Just bought a cold fall parka and it sounds like there is a plastic bag inside of it , not what i would call quiet , is that how all the parka and bibs are made or just the cold fall line ?
Boy, I don't know. I have not had that experience with mine. I don't have the parka but I do have the insulated bibs. They seem just fine. Not sure what to tell you on this one. I guess I would compare it to other outerwear you own and if it is not acceptable, you should call Code of Silence and send it back. I have not had that experience with any of their garments. All have been quiet for me.
Thanks for the reply and info Bill ! Worst case senerio I'll keep it for ice fishing and look for something a little quieter for hunting , I'll contact them and see if all the parkas have plastic in them , Thanks !
what is the inseam on the pants and bibs? I think hunting pants should be hi-water pants, no need to be dragging on the ground wearing out the bottoms.
Not 100% sure. You better call COS on that one. They are for sure high water on me but I have a 35/36 inseam. They are probably 32 if I had to guess. Maybe 33.
You can learn more at www.goxidar.com/ I like it for the most part. But it is not a replacement for a four-wheeler as there are things a four-wheeler can do that these can't (carrying loads, going long distances, carrying a passenger, going off-trail). This is really good for on-trail super stealth entry and exit to stands and blinds and for checking trail cameras, etc. But you aren't going to haul a deer out with this. I wish someone would actually just make a total replacement for an ATV that has the same functions and specs but is all electric.
@@bill-winke What's the hold up on electric 4wheelers they have an electric Polaris side bby side but it coast 15k-to 20k us poor hunters can't afford them.
No, wouldn't say it is packable. Some vests are mostly down or polyester filling. They would pack smaller. This is more like full bodied wool/fleece (Berber) so it doesn't compress much. Warm, but not compressible. Good luck.
Looks like nice stuff...But cant do the fleece thing...where I hunt are way to many hitch hikers...it would just be to covered up with sticky things!!!! They love fleece.
Ok so. Clothing looks great however both Google and Safari won’t open the website. Security alerts? I can get the stuff via Amazon though. Strange. Help?
@@bill-winke Thanks Bill! Love your content here. Been hunting with my Dad since I was 12. He’s 79 now and still hunts with me. It’s awesome your daughter is with you. Thanks for all you do.
As someone from the south, it’s hilarious to me that the mid-weight stuff would be suitable for single digits. 😂 I would need one layer from each line to keep warm in those temperatures.
I laughed at that too. Ev must run at a higher body temperature than me. I would say 20s for a stand sit. But that is still pretty good for a mid-weight garment. Good luck.
I bought some of their products and was really excited to try them. I got them and every item was shockingly small. I couldn’t even get my legs in the pants. I ordered everything in 2X which is what I wear in every other brand. Based on how these I’d need 4X. I don’t see they offer that size. Disappointed.
That is disappointing, Paul. Did you get ahold of them? Not that they can solve that short-term, but I am sure they would want to know so they can fix any sizing issues in those larger garments long-term.
@@bill-winke hi Bill, thanks for checking in with me. Yes, I gave them details in an email and some more details on the return form. I honestly think some of the garments were mislabeled as 2X when they weren’t. I can’t believe that their sizes would run that much smaller than every other manufacturer. One of the pants I held up to myself and thought , maybe these would’ve fit me when I was 15. Haha Truthfully, I’m not really in the market for new camo, but because of the sale, I wanted to try some things. I was really excited to be getting them and looking forward to using them. Maybe down the road someday. I’m glad you were able to interview your friend and have him explain all the different uses for the different lines. Have a good off-season, and I look forward to seeing more of your videos in the new year.
I don't know. I have not tried the Sitka clothing. I think the sizing is pretty true. I do think the bibs are a bit large, but not by much. I think everything else is pretty close to other outerwear I have worn over the years. Good luck.
@@bill-winke nice looked kinda familiar never hunted on the platte but know the area. It’s been a little weird this year and with it being as warm as it’s been they have been pretty spread out still and they also seem extra wild after rifle season lol. Nonetheless super cool you came in and hunted!
Man bill, i love my realtree..... it will take some convincing to get me to switch! Most people think it's funny when I tell them why I like Realtree. I have met in person both Bill and Toxey.... bill is a awful nice guy and willing to to talk to anyone with enthusiasm while toxey wouldnt take his nose off the tv long enough to even give eye contact! Thats why i like realtree! You can kill a deer wearing blue jeans and a red flannel, camo doesn't even matter! That Code of Silence Is some nice looking stuff though👍🏻
Nice to know Ev’s background. Cabela’s used to have great hunting outerwear, not so much anymore.
Everything changed after Bass Pro bought them and brought all the outerwear under the Redhead brand.
Bought coat, pants, head cover, beanie, gloves last year on your recommendation Bill. LOVE IT!!! So warm and quiet!,,

Thanks for the comment. I am sure Ev appreciates the good words.
Bill, i forgot to add terrific customer service! Something that has gone to the wayside with companies anymore. They were awesome to deal with!
I love my code of silence clothes. I’ve bought two sets (recently took advantage of a sale) and I couldn’t be happier!
Yes, they are really nice hunting garments for the money. Have a great day.
Bought a top and pant set today for Christmas. Looking forward to giving it a try

Looks like good gear
Anyone been caught in the rain with the COS gear? Is it water resistant or proof? Looks like it might soak up like a sponge. I’m def intrigued by it, looks quiet as heck! And warm I might add
I think it would be bad in an honest to goodness rain storm. I would want dedicated rain gear under those conditions.
So the mid season, dialed in series has the bibs? Or no? Didn’t really show the pants on that one.
Yes. So does the super warm Coldfjall system. Dialed In bibs are not as heavy.
Just bought a cold fall parka and it sounds like there is a plastic bag inside of it , not what i would call quiet , is that how all the parka and bibs are made or just the cold fall line ?

Are any of zone7 versa, zone7 dialed in, or coldfall jackets/bibs waterproof or water resistant?
Adam, Ev calls them water resistant. They will shed some light rains, but I would not expect them to keep you dry in a downpour. Good luck.
I wish they made 3X :)
The clothes look AMAZING
You aren't the first one to make that comment. I bet he adds more sizes over time.
what is the inseam on the pants and bibs? I think hunting pants should be hi-water pants, no need to be dragging on the ground wearing out the bottoms.
Not 100% sure. You better call COS on that one. They are for sure high water on me but I have a 35/36 inseam. They are probably 32 if I had to guess. Maybe 33.
My question is for Bill Winke,where did you get your electric quad 4x4 utility vehicle and how much is it I really like it for hunting?
You can learn more at www.goxidar.com/ I like it for the most part. But it is not a replacement for a four-wheeler as there are things a four-wheeler can do that these can't (carrying loads, going long distances, carrying a passenger, going off-trail).

@@bill-winke Thanks Bill! Love your content here. Been hunting with my Dad since I was 12. He’s 79 now and still hunts with me. It’s awesome your daughter is with you. Thanks for all you do.
As someone from the south, it’s hilarious to me that the mid-weight stuff would be suitable for single digits. 😂 I would need one layer from each line to keep warm in those temperatures.
I laughed at that too. Ev must run at a higher body temperature than me. I would say 20s for a stand sit. But that is still pretty good for a mid-weight garment. Good luck.
I bought some of their products and was really excited to try them. I got them and every item was shockingly small. I couldn’t even get my legs in the pants. I ordered everything in 2X which is what I wear in every other brand. Based on how these I’d need 4X. I don’t see they offer that size.
Disappointed.
That is disappointing, Paul. Did you get ahold of them? Not that they can solve that short-term, but I am sure they would want to know so they can fix any sizing issues in those larger garments long-term.
@@bill-winke hi Bill, thanks for checking in with me.
Yes, I gave them details in an email and some more details on the return form. I honestly think some of the garments were mislabeled as 2X when they weren’t. I can’t believe that their sizes would run that much smaller than every other manufacturer. One of the pants I held up to myself and thought , maybe these would’ve fit me when I was 15. Haha
Truthfully, I’m not really in the market for new camo, but because of the sale, I wanted to try some things. I was really excited to be getting them and looking forward to using them. Maybe down the road someday.
I’m glad you were able to interview your friend and have him explain all the different uses for the different lines.
Have a good off-season, and I look forward to seeing more of your videos in the new year.
how is sizing compared to sitka fanatic line?
I don't know. I have not tried the Sitka clothing. I think the sizing is pretty true. I do think the bibs are a bit large, but not by much. I think everything else is pretty close to other outerwear I have worn over the years. Good luck.
Do the sizes run smaller than normal ?
I don't think so, but you had better call them to be sure. Good luck.
You come to Nebraska??!
Yes. We hunted on the Platte near Kearney for 3 days. No luck but we had a nice time.
@@bill-winke nice looked kinda familiar never hunted on the platte but know the area. It’s been a little weird this year and with it being as warm as it’s been they have been pretty spread out still and they also seem extra wild after rifle season lol. Nonetheless super cool you came in and hunted!
Is all of his stuff windproof?
It has a wind proof insulation layer, so technically it is windproof.
I have a jacket and a pull over hat/mask
Man bill, i love my realtree..... it will take some convincing to get me to switch! Most people think it's funny when I tell them why I like Realtree. I have met in person both Bill and Toxey.... bill is a awful nice guy and willing to to talk to anyone with enthusiasm while toxey wouldnt take his nose off the tv long enough to even give eye contact! Thats why i like realtree! You can kill a deer wearing blue jeans and a red flannel, camo doesn't even matter! That Code of Silence Is some nice looking stuff though👍🏻
I think this stuff blends into the trees better than anything I have ever worn. Good luck and thanks for the comment.
Your welcome bub!
Look nice and cozy but not scent lined.
Correct. Quiet, blends in well and warm, but not scent containing in any way. Good luck.
