Non-belt summer carry

[gkieser92]

Summer is coming up quick, and I am in need of some new holster options. I will be off for the summer with my two boys, which means being much more active than in previous years. I anticipate wearing a lot of athletic clothing every day, which makes my usual strong side IWB impossible due to no belt. I am thinking of a belly band or something similar, such as:

Gun is a G27. I will need to wear it under a t-shirt against the skin. It need to hold up against sweat and be stable enough for an active lifestyle, like hiking, bike riding and shooting hoops. I do not plan on jogging with it though.

Have you considered wearing shorts with belt loops? I have some that are pretty athletic.

Yea Nike, under armor and a few others have some awesomely thin and stretchy shorts with belt looks. I cannot stand athletic shots due to no button/zipper/belt loops so this is a good compromise. If you have a dicks sporting goods look there!

Trouble is I'm a big guy and most of Nike's stuff doesn't fit unless it is basketball shorts. I will look into it though. Still thinking about the bellybands though. When biking or other activities it may be nice to have the gun tucked up higher under the armpit.

Columbia makes a lot of outdoors style clothes with belt loops. That's all I pretty much own; they're great for outdoors activities like when you're on the water as they dry quick, stains come out easy(mud/blood) and they move pretty well.

When I'm wearing board shorts, I'll normally tie the draw string through/around my holster's belt loops(I normally carry AIWB so this is a natural position for me to carry anyways) and go about my day...I just need to remember to keep my shirt on.

Love Columbia shorts, including their Performance Fishing Gear stuff. Bass Pro also has a wide range of shorts with belt loops. I will also admit to carrying a Tommy's Gun Pack with a G19 inside when in shorts and t-shirt, depending on the setting.

I also have a Dark Star clip holster for a G42 and it works very well in shorts without a belt. It's used a lot as a lounge around combo on the back patio sipping whiskey.

I often use smartcarry.

I'd look into Kuhl shorts and maybe some of the Under Armor stuff.

Also worth mentioning Duluth Trading's DuluthFlex Dry on the Fly shorts. They are the ripstop nylon material with belt loops and offer a good bit of stretch, and in my case fit (me) better than some of the options mentioned above.

I have a friend who very much likes and relies on his belly band when it comes to deeper concealment and mild physical activity.

I'll second Duluth's offerings. I've been satisfied with everything I bought from the company.
