Sound: Pack material

[2hand]

Curious as to the thoughts on material used in the packs these days. The Cordura (and the like) material seems a lot noisier then fleece, but durability is crap.

Does the "noise" a fabric makes negatively impact a hunt?

I would say the noise does if you are spot and stalk or running and gunning elk. I just got a timberline this last spring, love the pack but it is loud. I use a bison gear lemih pack fo when thing need to be quite and it works great. There is a time and place for each.
