Quiet bino harness for bow hunting

[Adam Gibbs]

Put this topic in here because I figure mostly bow hunters would know what I'm after. I've had a Marsupial harness in the past and moved to a HPG chest pack with bino pouch. I like that set up for gun hunting but I find it pretty loud for archery season. I spend equal amounts of time in a tree and still hunting on the ground. All the cordura and plastic buckles make noise that I'm not a fan of when deer are around. Especially when move through brush slowly, the noise is a killer.

I found a Horn Hunter bino harness that is meant to be silent, but that doesn't look like it does much to protect the binos, being mostly open in design. Is anyone aware of a company making a set up that's mostly fleece or something else that's quiet besides heavy cordura?

I think Alps has one that is all fleece

I'm not sure how good it is but it is all fleece. https://alpsoutdoorz.com/shield-bino-harness.html

I like my adak for it's noise vs durability.

I felt lined a marsupial, that worked well. Sitka works well too with no mods

I use straps with a rectangular piece of fleece that covers the eyepiece or a Bino Bandit for the eyepiece. That works well enough, adds no noise and if any lenses get wet, I have a cleaning cloth with me as well. I don't like the bulk bino boxes that are popular now. And they can be hot in the early seasons.

I'm happy with the Badlands pouch

I like my Kuiu pro. Very quiet to use

I think the one by safari tuff is made of fleece.

Love my marsupial

So many good options, but I have been very happy with the Eberlestock.

My Kuiu pro has been great for multiple seasons

I got the new SG Sentinel and have been using it in the field for over a month now. It's pretty damn quiet to me and the side pocket add on is perfect for your phone.

Thanks for all the replies.

Got a pic of how you did it? Inside, outside or both? I suppose I could always do what you did to my bino pouch. No great loss if I don't like it.

Kuiu pro has been good for me as well

Inside only, with adhesive backed felt. I think they make a fleece lined version now.

What happened fo ADAK? I can’t find it now. Is there something similar? I like the way the straps work, separate bino straps, and quiet material.

Don’t buy marsupial if you use Swaro. Awful squeaky in and out, and they know it

I think the early Alaska Guide Creations bino harnesses were fleece.

Maybe I'm wrong. But it would be worth searching classifieds, ebay, etc. Their older stuff would have been well thought-out for the day.

It doesn't look like they use fleece today, at least on the exterior.

Good folks.

I've been happy with my Stone Glacier Sentinel setup.
