I am getting a back quiver made in the near future and was wondering what some preferences are in inside linings. I have heard good and bad with shearling (mainly catching, snagging point). What about fleece, or even unlined. Any comments are welcome. What I am looking to do is maximize quietness.

Al of my backquivers are unlinned.. i've actually never seen a fuly lined one however i'm sure they are out there

A little fur around the inside of the mouth of the quiver can help some but your best bet is to get one that fits right in the first place.
A good back quiver should allow you to bend at the waist to tie your shoes and not spill your arrows. It has to have enough bend in it and be worn snugly enough to make the quiver body conform to your back a little. A lotta quivers I've seen are way too stiff and work but not all that great.
I try to wear mine pretty snug when I'm ground hunting. Just loose enough so its comfortable when walking upright but when I lean down a bit ( bend my upper body into a 1/2 crouch )like you do when making a stalk it tightens things up and snugs the arrows together so they don't rattle.
Ultimately it comes down to keeping the arrows still while hunting and a back quiver worn snugly with a soft collapsable tube/body will work for you when properly adjusted. With or without any fur around the top.
I can't recommend any manufacturers of quivers as I've always made my own ( which isn't terribly difficult by the way) but I bet if you keep asking questions someone will be able to steer you towards the right one.

Thanks,
Steven Catts will be making the quiver and the quiver will be made of soft leather that will conform to my back. I'm really just wondering about the lining and what peoples preferences are.

Kinda old school, but I use oats in my back quiver to keep the broadheads sharp and quiet. It works well.
A bit dusty at times, maybe.
-
That might be considered baiting! Guess you just have to be careful and not dump it out in front of a C.O.!
-
BobCo doing away with the coyote quiver? or just looking for a wet weather alt? Oatmeal and rain don't mix well together (or actually they do but the outcome is messy inside a leather quiver).

Talondale,sar said " OATS"...NOT OATMEAL...OATS HOLD UP FINE IN WET WEATHER

I made one for my son out of a piece of leather that I thought was a little to light so I went to Walmart and found some light weight auto carpet. I used contact adh. to attach it to the inside of the quiver before I rolled it. The quiver turned out to work out just like Minuteman said. Arrows ride quite and when you bend over it pinches the arrows enough to not let them slide out.
