Recommended Bino Holder?

I'm looking for a new bino holder for some new Leica binoculars I picked up at Christmas this year. I've used a Kuiu bino holder in the past and really liked them functionally but they're kind of noisy when branches scratch the material when sneaking through the woods hunting elk. I wear wool bibs and coat to keep the noise to a minimum. Anybody have a recommended strap on, chest mounted, bino case that is really quiet?
Another vote for alaskan guide creations - I have the larger one with the zipper pocket on the bottom. It is bomb.com! I can fit everything in it - Binos, range finder, inreach, extra ammo, knife, license and tag, iPhone, radio etc.

Access to the binos is quiet, there is no zipper. There are zipper pockets to access the other pockets. I haven't found the zippers to be noisy.

A reminder that the request was for a bino case that is really quiet...not just which one you like.

My buddy has a Kuiu one and it more quiet than my Marsupial and Alaska Guide Creations. If the OP has a Kuiu one and believes it to be too noisy then people with relevant experience please chime in (I'm interested as well for bow hunting).
As I noted previously 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 but I have not tried them! So if anyone can compare their Kuiu to something else that would be helpful.
 
My FHF,maybe different now mines older,like but folds towards you and not contained on sides snow gets in. The Marsupials the same,I bush wack threw snow covered forest,the kuiu pro wraps all way around.

I've worn my FHF.com (Fish-Hunt-Fight; made in Utah) bino harness for the past 2 seasons and love them. The cover can be latched down with the short bungee cord provided, or left loose for more rapid deployment. For max ease of access, the binos can be left hanging in front of the carrying case, which is where I leave them when in a stand. I also like the small elastic pouch on each side, used for holding a small LED flashlight and container of wind-direction testing powder (can't remember what the **** stuff is called!)
The lid of mine does have a panel that prevents snow or dust from getting into the pouch.

I just wanted to let you guys know what I (OP) chose to go with and why.

I chose the
Alaska Guide Creations DENALI ROK7 X56 HBS Bino Harness in Mossy Oak Break up Country.
My reasoning is:
1) This particular color/finish is softer than all the other Alaskan Guide materials and
2) I like the extra features I can add to the bino pack which might allow me to avoid taking a backpack altogether for a morning or evening hunt. The extra features I chose are the radio holder and the sidearm holder.
I think the ADAK would be my second choice but it didn't seem to have any additional pouches or add on capability.

Thanks for all the great suggestions!

Once you get it let us know how it compares to your Kuiu, thanks!
