HarvDog Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Thought this was a great tip to pass along. [ QUOTE ] Silencing Velcro As we all know, it’s nearly impossible to fasten and unfasten Velcro quietly, no matter how hard you try. My wife and fellow hunting partner for the past 15 years came up with the following idea last year and it really works. She removed the Velcro closures on our coveralls and gloves and replaced them with round quarter-sized magnets that she found at a local craft store. She simply cut a stitch or two at the seam where the Velcro had been, stuck one of the magnets into the hem, stitched it in place and then closed the hem! We now have happy (and quiet) hunting!

AdvantageTimberLou Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Re: Silencing Velcro Great tip Harv, I have some hunting gloves that have the magnets and my turkey vest uses them as well for the pockets. Very slick concept! Thanks for sharing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Re: Silencing Velcro Thats a great idea! I have a lot of gear that is really loud (like gloves). My turkey vest is too! Great tip, great tip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Re: Silencing Velcro Interesting idea. I like that the velcro gives me some adjustement on some of my clothing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mossyhorn Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Re: Silencing Velcro That is so cool. I hate, I mean HATE the sound of velcro. That and a piece of paper being torn. Drives me nuts. Something about the sound makes my head fell like it is going to blow up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HaDeRonDa Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Re: Silencing Velcro It's great but the magnets must be strong enough to hold up against material movement. The magnets at the bottom of your plastic shower curtain are not strong enough. JFI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
