Catquiver II has an integral backpack. My first year using it (and my first year hunting trad), so I don't have much to compare it to . ..

The quiver I have has a large pocket on the back.  If it's to big to fit there I either shoved it in the arrow part or left it at home.

Us military load bearing vest with a 3 day training pack.  Go to Amazon and give it a look.  Most comfortable handy thing I have bought in a long time.  God Bless

Fanny pack but slung over my shoulder with my head through the loop so it lays across my back right along side the back quiver.

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

I've been using a Maxpedition Sitka Gearslinger for several years and it's ease and convenience of getting to your gear without having to take it off is it's hallmark.  I still have my old fanny packs but because they generally ride low it makes still hunting and or just sneaking through the woods a little more cumbersome.  

And YES I've worn my Sitka Gearslinger with a back quiver.  So long as you decide which side your quiver is going to ride on your back just get the Gearslinger for the opposite side.

Here's a video clip of how the Gearslinger works.

If you like the Maxpedition concept, check out the
Red Rock™ Rover Large Sling Bag.  A little over 300 cu. in. of storage and a great little bag (I don't carry much).  You'll pay less than $30 for it instead of $125.

BTW, the zippers are some of the best I've had on any pack including ones costing 10 times as much

Does the gearslinger work well in front if packing a stand on your back?
