Ways to Wear

Thanks to the system of straps and loops, you have complete freedom in how you carry it. Use the adjustable strap with its buckle for a comfortable cross-body back carry. If you prefer to have the quiver at your side, simply thread the loops on its back through your belt and use the lacing to set it at the perfect angle.

The Quiver in History

Arrow quivers are among the oldest pieces of equipment for hunters and warriors across all cultures. From ancient Egyptians and Scythian horse archers to the English longbowmen at Agincourt, the quiver was an indispensable companion. Its design varied—mounted nomads often preferred hip quivers for an easier draw on horseback, while archers on foot used both back and belt styles.

An Interesting Piece of History

One of the oldest preserved quivers belonged to the famous Ötzi the Iceman, who lived over 5,000 years ago. His quiver, made of chamois leather, contained 14 arrows. However, only two of them were complete and ready to fire. The others were merely shafts without heads or fletching. This proves that archers have long carried materials for repairing and crafting their ammunition in the field—a task for which the extra pouches on this quiver are perfectly suited.

Care and Maintenance

Genuine leather is a durable material that will last you for ages with proper care. To keep your quiver looking its best and fully functional, follow a few simple rules:

• Protect the leather from prolonged exposure to water. If it gets wet, let it air dry naturally at room temperature. Never dry it near a direct heat source (like a heater or fire), as this will cause it to harden and crack.
• Occasionally treat the leather with a conditioner (wax or balm) to keep it from drying out and to maintain its suppleness.
• The suede parts can be gently cleaned with a special suede brush if they become dirty.
• Do not store the quiver in a plastic bag or a damp environment where it could grow mold.
