100 % stealth armor seems to work so far ...

Now I sneak around at night sometimes never sprinting never looking at map or the survival book staying in bushes I see some bad guys running around they do not see me as yet

I have it one easy level where they only come out at night ... because the sleep thing is off out of whack I can't sleep through the night so I sneak around after saving to another location I want to be at come daybreak ... I have 4 total secure outposts spread out near caves I'm doing a recon on.

You can add even more to that. Full stealth armor does work if you don't mind being slow and careful, but be aware stealth armor (being a whole lot of leaves stuck to a lizard skin) takes additional fire damage so pay extra attention when near your campfire or dealing with the fire guys. Beyond the actual armor though, the rabbit fur boots muffle your footsteps, while they don't list an active stealth effect in your book they do make it less likely for cannibals to hear you moving around. There's also mud, whenever it rains you can find random mud spots on the ground. these also increase your stealth if you interact with them (which will see you wearing it, a bit like the paint but now you are brown instead of scary to cannibals). The mud will wash off whenever you get wet though, including when it rains next (though getting the "cold and wet" status from entering the snow does not actually count as getting wet for this purpose).

Edit: you seem to be playing singleplayer for now from the posts i've seen, but if you do get into multiplayer and want to keep your stealth build there's an oddly specific little issue you want to be aware of. By default, Q brings up the walkie talkie, which in multiplayer is how players would communicate with mics. What isn't often mentioned is that the enemies can hear the walkie talkie to (obviously they dont respond to what is said, they just notice you more easily while the walkie is active).

Great Info I made some rabbit boots but only because I thought I would use them one day with a warm suit ... I'll put them on now ... when I put on some bone armor it seemed to decrease my stealth ... I guess that makes sense the worse thing being you can't take it off and go back to pure stealth but I do a lot of saves so I went back ...

I wish we could have a stealth suit 100% a Warm suit and a bone armor suit .... that we could take on and off ... wooo hoo

The rabbit fur boots don't take up any armor slots, so you can wear them alongside basically everything else you choose to wear. As for the armors in general, each has their own stats. You can actually see at least most of those stats in your survival book, that stat page (the rabbit fur boots come with 20 in cold armor, which will also be reflected there but it won't reflect the more hidden aspects of what you are wearing like the muffled footsteps or the stealth armors fire sensitivity). You can also see what you are wearing from your HUD, the slotted bar running along the outer edge of your health bar is your armor bar, and armor pieces are color coded to let you know at a glance what you currently have on. Green and grey and stealth and lizard respectively, white is bone, and pink is creepy. If the entire thing is orange, that's cold armor/warm suit, which takes up all the armor slots.

You can't choose a specific armor piece to remove, and removing a damaged armor piece will outright delete it, but you can replace your armor at will if you have enough stocked up. Adding additional armor pieces will start replacing the ones you already have equipped, if those pieces are still at full health they will be returned to your inventory. Alternatively the warm suit takes up all the armor slots, so it can also be used as a way to entirely remove all your currently equipped armor if you have it, giving you a fresh start for what you want to wear. Unfortunately with how the actual armor works, a suit only works for the warm suit (which believe it or not, wasnt always a suit either, you used to be able to just wear deer skin like you would lizard skin instead as a solution for cold armor). warm suit offers no actual armor, just cold armor, so it does not take any damage on the players behalf and therefore has no actual health. The armor pieces however, do have their own health which will take damage for the player from most damage types. So when your armor pieces break, it might actually be accurate to say they "died" for you to live, as their health reached 0. While worn, the game tracks how much each piece has actually lost, which is part of why higher tier armors can take a variable amount of hits (while lizard and stealth are both so low in armor/health they usually break with a single hit). The player can only store pieces at full health though, hence why damaged armor gets deleted if removed.

Edit: adding this screenshot of the stat page showing full stealth armor + rabbit fur boots so its easier to understand what i mean if it was at all confusing:
