Anyone have anything they like?
I prefer belt carry but work outside and have a lot of layers on when the temps get down to zero.
Pocket carry used to be OK if I remembered to clean the hay chaff etc. out but Carhart has made the pockets a lot smaller on their bibs this year.
Cinch makes a vest with a zippable hidden pocket. I like that you can wear the vest unzipped without exposing the gun but not sure how much it flops around or how good the interior holster is? (also not sure I want to wear a $100 softshell to weld in )
Some other brands just have a pocket/holster stitched into the lining of the vest. Seems like you would have to keep the vest mostly zipped all of the time.
Would be interesting to see what vests people are using or if you have another suggestion for extreme cold weather carry.
