Have Vortex binos with the pack they come with and an Alaskan Guide Creations bino pack as well. Wanted to use the AGC pack but it was a tad noisy for my taste. Inside of Vortex pack is very noisey when pulling out binos...what to do?
Swapped vortex harness onto the AGC bino pack and that harness is MUCH quieter! Swapped the AGC harness onto the vortex pack then thinking that is the noisier pack I can take in the off season or if I gun hunt something and don't have to be as close.
Removed the clips from the top of the pack and just ran the harness through the loops and then through the slides - then used tape on the male clips to quiet them on the sides (they rattle when loose and I don't crank them down so much all the time so had to do something). Tape is on the center post only of the male portion of the clips - try that if you have rattling clips and you don't want to replace them with military ones (I ran out of milspec male clips but the tape works too).
Replaced noisy zipper pulls with paracord pulls. You can tape those too but I just got tired of dealing with it.
So the AGC is MUCH quieter now and I can deal with the cordura - still looking for a silent case though but this will work for now. I will run it through the washer a bunch in the off season as that can soften and quiet cordura quite a bit - I don't want to scent it up now though in season so will wait to do that.
What have you done to silence your bino case?
