Even in rural areas with low crime rates, this is a real concern.
What is the solution?
As a result, this clothing doesnt usually work well for concealed carry.
Arrowhead Tactical has some fantastic apparel specifically designed for concealed carry, whether you are out getting exercise or just staying comfortable.
Luckily though, we live in a modern age with modern solutions.
On the Arrowhead Tactical website, there are numerous styles available, including athletic shorts and pants.
How the clothing works is a combination of two things.
The Carrier Shorts from Arrowhead tactical pairs with a hidden belt creating the perfect gym shorts that can also support a gun.
First of all, they have above-average waistband designs.
They are taller and more rigid than your average sportswear.
The shorts we tested were 5 inseam black Carrier shorts.
To test the shorts, the author got into the weight room and knocked out some squats. He believes these shorts do well for weightlifting.
The first exercises were upper body exercises, and the least challenging ones for the shorts.
But that was not the case.
The next test incorporated lower body movement and hinging at the hips by performing a squat.
The Carrier line of clothing from Arrowhead Tactical is designed to support the weight of your everyday carry while providing comfortable options for exercise.
The shorts performed really well on this test too and, surprisingly, the gun wasnt uncomfortable either.
I was able to do the exercise with ease and retain the pistol.
The last couple of exercises, that focus on cardio, really steps up the stress on the gear.
The Carrier Shorts pair with a concealed carry belt by lacing the belt through the belt loops inside to create a sturdy setup.
I decided to run at the pace of a jog for about 100 meters.
This again provided no issues, so I decided to step it up to a sprint.
The final exercise is one that admittedly I never do because its a ton of work.
The shorts have a small zip pocket perfect for securing your house key or car key fob while out for a run.
This was sure to be the hardest challenge for the shorts yet.
But if you are skinnier than me or have rock-solid abs, youll be fine.
Conclusion
In my experience, the shorts have been great and they do the job well.
When trying out the shorts, I used my Nexbelt for the inside of the shorts.
I simply threaded myEDC beltthrough the loops on the shorts.
With clothing like this, carrying has never been so comfortable.
