Quiet bino harness for bow hunting

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 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 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.

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