Brand Promises
Concealment
Be more effective in the field in our S-18™ Camo with Neutral-LR™ Technology and jacquard knitted fabrics that mimic natural light absorbencies so you blend in.
Silence
We make the quietest materials on the market using proprietary wool-based fabrics. Never any laminates, so you remain absolutely silent.
Warmth
Our high-quality fabrics and design construction provide breathability and extreme warmth. You'll stay warm and functional in any condition.
Where We Are Headed
New Ways to Go Afield
More than fifty combined years of building outdoor products sits behind this company, and the lines we are shipping now are the ones we would put our own seasons on. We are early in what they can do.
One idea runs under all of it. Your gear should take work off you, so that what is left of your attention goes to the wind, the light and the shot. Every piece we build gets measured against that, and then against what it costs you to own.
We are a small group of people who hunt the way you do, in the same timber and on the same cold mornings, which is the standard every piece here gets held to before it reaches you.
The Team Behind Code of Silence
Founder and CEO
The man who's designed more hunting apparel than anyone
Ev Tarrell has spent his life hunting whitetails and over forty years turning what he learned into the best hunting gear ever made.
During his tenure at Cabela's, he held corporate oversight of the hunting clothing categories. What came out of that run is a matter of record. Numerous patents, dozens of camo introductions including the Zonz Camo franchise, dozens of fabric innovations to include Microtex, MT050, Wootimate, Outfitter Berber, and many more successful innovations.
He also had oversight of brand marketing and strategy, strategic product development, and the company's expansion into Canada.
Years alone are not the point, and Ev is the first to say so. In those years, he designed, tested and manufactured more hunting clothing than anyone ever has. Code of Silence is where that experience goes now, and he builds the ideas that reinvent technical hunting.
When he's not designing gear, Ev is an avid outdoorsman and enjoys being in the field with his sons, Reid and Trever, and with his wife Jana.
"I love spending hours in the field with my sons."

The Record
What Forty Years Actually Bought
Co-Founder
The farmer who never stops refining the hunt
Darrin is a farm operator and outdoor entrepreneur in Jesup, Iowa, in the heart of the state's whitetail country. He hunts and fishes there with his wife Mandi and their three children as much as the season allows.
His approach is "less is more, simpler is better," and he lives it: refining his gear and his technique with one goal, consistently taking mature whitetail bucks with a bow.
"Less is more. Simple is better."
Darrin Youngblut, Co-Founder
Our Promise
Your Clothing Is Equipment
We hunted in this gear for years before we asked anyone else to buy it, which is the only reason we are willing to make the claim that follows.
Your clothing belongs in the same conversation as your bow and your stand. Gear that stays quiet at full draw, holds heat through an all-day sit and refuses to give you away in flat light keeps you in position longer, and time in position is what puts you in front of mature deer.
That is what our systems are built to do, season after season, in the timber you actually hunt.
