I also just got a Marsupial after having KUIU for years. I like the design a lot, but I'm not going to say that you're going to find them super quiet. They are not a brushed finish but they're super functional! (Ditto on the goat, Lance!)

I have the Badlands Bino XR. I like that it has pockets for my wind checker and calls etc. and that it keeps my binos really well protected. But the two downsides are the rangefinder pouch comes open when belly crawling and the magnetic closure can slam shut unexpectedly. I picked up and ADAK last fall and as far as quiet is concerned I am really happy. wish it had a better pouch for my wind checker but I think overall it is worth adding to your list to consider. You can get them on Camofire for $99 every few weeks compared to $149 on black ovis. If you order through black ovis you can get 10% off with a rokslide discount I think it is rok10???

Badlands is awesome and quiet, be sure to get the magnetic closure and NOT the zipper closure!

Take a look at FHF (MT) and T&K (SD)...I personally use FHF right now, but T&K (Veteran-Owned/USMC) is gaining my interest. Tyler Kath is a good dude

I chose Sitka after handling a bunch of them in the store. Been using foe several years. Nice and trim, stays closed and flips open soundlessly. No noise with it in brush. Rides just right.
I've tried a few different as well. KUIU Pro Bino seems to work perfect for me. Very quiet and quick disconnect feature is legit. I found the magnetic type can be too loud when closed on accident. Are the Marsupials quieter than the Badlands while closing it?

Alaska Guide Creations is what I picked up this last season and I won't be using anything else personally.

I switched over to RYO's and absolutely love them. Light, cheap, and versitle. I added attachments for my rangefinder & GPS. Check them out https://rickyoungoutdoors.com

I've had Marsupial and Alaska Guide Creations and they are awesome but I needed something more quiet for bow hunting. I bought the Rick Young but have not used it yet. I researched this and from what I can tell Adak and BinoBro will be the quietest ones that actually cover your binos.

For those of you who use the magnetic closure, do you think the magnet affects the use of a compass?
