Back Pack that's Quiet

[larry f]

Any back packs out there that are made from a quiet material. I carry most of my clothes to my stands from late Oct until the end of bow season in Northern Wis. I have a day one which is made out of fleece but it's too small to handle bibs and jackets. On those cold mornings everything becomes super noisy, when adding layers.

I have a pack from Johnson wool. May not be big enough for bibs but they may make something larger.

My Badlands 2200 is quiet.  I think it would work well for what you do

I have Filson (twill), Duluth (canvas), Frost River (waxed canvas), Badlands (synthetic), and military surplus (nylon). I don't find any of these materials to be particularly noisy. Most of my pack noise derives from metal buckles.

I'll second the Johnson Woolen  Mills.

I have a Bison Gear Selway made out of buck suede that is very quiet....plenty of room for bibs.

I’ve been using a Tenzing the past few years, with no adverse noise.

Rancho Safari fleece, High Quality and they are made in the USA or if you have the extra cash to drop Bison Gear.

I have a Bison Gear Lost River which is in wool. I have two of their packs and love them but I have heard Angelo (Owner) is tough to communicate with..

I have a Bison Gear as well and a KOM pack.  I tend to use the BG pack for elk hunting and the KOM pack for my deer hunting in Northern Wisconsin.  Big enough to carry a layer of heavy clothes, inside or strapped on. They're both wool, have hip belts and are very quiet.

Day One has a daypack made with various soft materials and I don't think they have buckles.  Is about 1800 cc so not large but check it out .  Also, Sitka packs look like they would be quiet and I think that they are moving away from hard material buckles

I have one of the LLbean Maine Warden's Day Packs and it is quiet.

As a day pack or for hunting out of a stand it's hard to beat a Day One fleece pack,big enough to carry plenty of clothing also KOM makes a great quiet pack,a little bit heavier a costly but it worths his cost. I used the KOM for years elk hunting.

I have a Bison Gear lost river that I really like and is super quiet, and can easily strap extra layers down. The problem with BG is I dont think they are currently making packs and you would have to find one used.

Sitka released a fanatic pack at ATA that is going to be awesome though.. Should be one of the quietest packs out there! It isn't on the website yet, but you can find it on a youtube video.

Day One Camo makes a fleece pack cover that will fit over about any pack.Works great on my 5500" exo

I go for grouse on day hunts, so don't have to haul much.  I have a CatQuiver 6 1/2, which is very quiet, but I don't like the hip belt pocket arrangement. The CatQuiver itself is another thing I really don't care for-can't carry flu flus with Snaro 2-inch points, and it's difficult to get your arrows back into the hood while the thing's on your back.  It's comfortable, and very quiet, but I could also do with fewer outside straps to carry "extra" stuff.  The material itself though, that's top notch!

My hunting pack is wool, an old pack idaho pack, when it's ready for replacement I'll look at wool for sure from available makers.

Thanks for the input, I have a day one pack which is great but when the weather gets in the teens it's too small. I am still trying to find a decent size pack that's quiet, I wish Bison packs were available.
