I got one of these for Christmas from my daughter. I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars. It is pretty well made and looks and feels great. I used it the last couple of days hunting and the best part is that it it is quiet and it holds arrows very well. The side pocket has a quality, plastic, quiet zipper and is a good size. I was able to carry a 10 inch folding saw and several other items easily. It is placed low enough on the quiver to keep it balanced properly. The tube has good rigidity and the side hole is properly sized and placed for quick and smooth arrow drawing. The carry strap feels nice and is comfortable with great adjustability. The D rings and swivel clips are plastic. The D rings should be pretty durable as they feel more like polymer. The swivel clips feel more plastic-like and will eventually break. The advantage of plastic is it is quiet and doesn't rust. The swivel clip should be fairly easy to replace. Now the reason for the half star that is missing. When I got mine, the plastic pinch release buckle that keeps you from loosing the rain hood was already broken. I thought about calling 3Rivers to have them send me a new one, but when looking at it, it was obvious that it is of such low quality and flimsy that it would just break again. So I decided to look for a better replacement/repair. The problem is that the leather loops to attach each end of the buckle are sewn shut. I bought a 3/4 inch "Sea to Summit Field Repair Buckle" off Amazon that has removable screw in pins and fixed it in about 5 minutes. I just snapped and broke the original buckle to get it out. So if you are looking for a quality fix for that, I suggest the repair buckle. You might even just consider replacing it before it breaks on you. While using the quiver the last few days, it has been fantastic. I highly recommend if you're in the market for one that won't break the bank.
