Alright so I normally carry IWB, strong side, in a good holster, and with a good belt, however in the near future i will be doing a lot of physical activity, IE the SAV GA bridge run, a week vacation in FL where we are riding bikes every where, and a Kayak trip to boot. Additionally my wife is a 4 time triathlete, therefore i foresee many bike rides, trail runs, and other things in the future when i return to the states.
So this is my thinking:
During the bridge run i won't be wearing conventional clothes for carry and a good belt, because that would make it suck even worse that it will already.
For the kayak trip with the life vest on that might concealing the handgun hard, and not very easy to deploy with the vest in the way.
One the trip to fl, it will be hard to conceal the gun in the usual manner on a bike and especially with "comfortable" clothes for riding a bike around all week.
Of course i will train with it prior to using it in the real world the first time. So i think that will tell me a lot right there. work with it "dry" first and then at the range.

Here are a few questions:
1) Do any of you have this, and if so what do you think about it?
2) Do you think it will be a good solution for my needs?
3) Does it scream "I have a gun" to you? If you didn't know what it was for would it make you think gun? And if so is that because it is blatantly obvious or because of your mindset and the fact that you know that there are people that carry this way?
Now i am not normally one for fanny packs but this one doesn't to me anyway scream "i am carrying a gun", and it actually looks pretty nice, unlike most fanny packs that i see. With that said, it well be worn across my shoulder not around my waist. Not only can i carry my gun, a flashlight, and a spare magazine, but i can also carry say a camera, my phone, my keys etc, without needed pants or shorts that i would normally wear, which is not very conducive to physical activity.
