I have never used a hip quiver, but this year I am contemplating on using my 3d quiver with a hip wader belt. It is a comfortable quiver, I don' t stalk game, and when I am at my stand I can loop it around the tree that I am in. I guess it will double as a 3d quiver and a hunting quiver. I will have to try it out, if I don' t like it I will go with the qwikee 1 pc. quiver. Good luck.
