We are driven by a passion to eliminate an animals defenses of sound, smell, and sight and increasing your odds of success in the field. Our mission is to deliver products that help get you closer to your target without being detected.

In 2007 SneekTec founder Mike Barrick noticed how much noise he was making while trying to stalk a Mule Deer. Mike immediately started thinking of ways he could reduce the sound he created while moving toward his target.

He started noticing every sound he made from the sound of his footsteps breaking twigs, to the sound of his jacket going through brush, to the sound of his clothes when he drew his bow. Mike became obsessed with silence and soon came up with a revolutionary new idea for a boot silencer and the Sneek Boot was born.

Over the next 8 years Mike and his team created over 100 different Sneek Boot prototypes and spent thousands of hours of R&D in the "Lab" and in field. Mike also discovered Recoil Foam technology and tested prototypes until they had developed a combination of silent fabrics and foam that would virtually eliminate the sound of footfall.

In 2014 Mike applied and successfully obtained the first patent for this new sound elimination technology and in 2015 he launched SneekTec. 

In 2020 Jeff Barlow purchased the company and has continued to create new products to help you in your quest of closing the distance to your target.

SneekTec is driven to be the innovator of stalking technology. Whether it's hunting, photography or law enforcement, SneekTec provides the gear and products that make you sneaky and get you closer to your target no matter what it is.
