Suggestions for concealment in Fall and Winter
There are a great many arguments on the gun forums about how bad of an idea it is to carry using a vests becuase it supposedly gives you away. Well, if you are 22yrs old and wearing a vest and it’s 80F outside, you probable will look out of place, but you have to realize that most bad guys don’t think like that. If you factor in how many people that carry concealed firearms vs. the statistics that don’t, you’re probable over thinking. Find out which guy you really prefer to carry and dress accordingly. The Eotac Style 102 lightweight vest is extremely popular with many of our customers living in Texas and in the Southwest do to it’s 100% cotton material. It gives you some protection against the sun and won’t weigh you down.
The Eotac style 103 vests is a fairly new vest, but it has been growing in popularity due to it’s length and pocket designs. I don’t normally recommend carrying a fiream in outerwear, but the Eotac vest will help you conceal a full size auto and be able to stow a firearm in the outer pockets without printing. The elastic straps inside the pockets will secure any other knives, flashlights or magazines for added security. This is not a lightweight vest, but I think that it is very well balanced and does not look too tactical for a concealed carry vest. The Style 101 vests are by far the most tactical looking, but we do have some operators that wear them under another lighweight jacket and prefer the soft fabric over a harness locking vest.
