HQ ISSUE Concealed Carry Vest for Men

Well put together and appears durable. Lots of useful pockets and the concealed carry compartment inside the vest is "Awesome" and fits a large size pistol easily. Much Better than expected! Also, the Flag on the front pocket is Velcroed on, not sewn on like described. Very Happy with this purchase. I can wear this vest and conceal carry without a holster in my pants.

This is the value of the year bro, very nice, pockets up the wazoo and high quality workmanship, made in Vietnam, I love it size wise it is perfect, nice zipping and mag pouch for 3 or 6 or whatever

The vest is cool. It does a great job at concealing. As I carry a full sized Glock 19 as my EDC. I am 5'11 215lbs. I got a large and it fits well. BUT! (AND THIS IS A BIG BUT LOL) don't bend over while concealing as your gun probably WILL slip out. Needs a button to hold your gun in place. The little elastic part will NOT hold your firearm in place. So hold on to it when you bend over and make sure and take your firearm out when taking off and putting on the vest. (As it may slip out.) But over all it's a pretty good vest I wore it everyday since having it. Lol

UPDATE FROM 4 STARS TO 5 STARS: The ruggedness of this vest just saved me from needing a skin graft. While attempting to move my car backwards off the road after road debris damaged my transmission, I slipped and got dragged under the car door for about 20-30 feet across asphalt and coarse gravel, eventually breaking the door as it raked over me. This vest took the brunt of the punishment, quite literally saving my skin. Best part is, it survived the ordeal. Needs a good wash, but is still serviceable. Say what you want about the quality, but I'm convinced. 5/5 Stars. PREVIOUS 4 STAR REVIEW: I mostly use this vest to conceal my full size service pistol carried in a IWB holster, as my pistol weighs about 2.5 pounds loaded, which is way too heavy for wearing in the vest pockets (collar of vest digs into my neck). The elastic bands in the concealed carry pockets seem too high up, causing a full size pistol like mine (Astra A-100, effectively identical to a Sig P226 in dimensions/appearance) to ride way too high with the velcro pocket unable to close, and not securing the pistol. Works well enough with smaller pistols and revolvers, I suppose, but I highly recommend wearing a proper holster. In my case, I swap my gun and holster (together) from waist to the left conceal carry pocket when transitioning from on foot to driving, letting the holster and gun sit naturally in the pocket. I have much faster access to it this way than in the center console or blocked by my seat belt when worn on the hip while driving. The vest also has 6 snug mag holders, which is great, but mags get heavy quick, and again, the collar on this vest will dig into your neck and traps, if you add too much weight. Granted, I'm wearing the vest open, as I'm a big guy, and am working on losing weight, so the largest size still can't quite zip up yet until I slim down. Weight distribution might be better when zipped. Just thought it fair to mention that. As for other pockets, this vest has two MASSIVE pockets that were not evident in the picture. I'm talking really deep pockets, easily over a foot deep, maybe even 15 inches. I'm curious to see if one could fit a SBR into these pockets. In just one pocket, I've been able to fit THREE 1.5 liter water bottles, SIX total when loading up the other pocket. Stitching seems to be holding up, too. The deeper breast pockets are just big enough to stick my Galaxy S9+ with Otterbox case into it, but it pokes out just above the zipper, which is fine, as it's a snug fit and ain't going anywhere. Smaller pockets have been great for bits and bobs, especially when fishing. In addition, the vest has 3 D-rings, perfect for clipping on your keys or other light weight items. I actually use them to temporarily hang a hook or lure while preparing bait for fishing. Works great! All in all, I'm quite satisfied with this vest. I may end up sewing in padding with a breathable mesh on the interior side of the collar, which is a much needed modification. Might also sew in some padding where one would rest a rifle or shotgun butt, just to add a minor upgrade for when using guns with substantial recoil. Would also be nice to have a small game pocket on the back.

The concealment on this is very good. My EDC is a Sig Sauer P365 with the extended pinky mag, so it's not a big gun, but this does hide it well. I like all the pockets for carrying other stuff. I also like that it has convenient storage for extra magazines for both left-handed and right-handed people. The storage for the firearm is also ambidextrous. It has a quality, durable feel and build and it isn't overwhelmingly hot to wear. I generally wear body armor under it, so usually I'm pretty layered up, and reducing heat is an issue, especially the summer. I really prefer the access of a hip holster but I don't want to open carry and I'm too fat (5-11 and 205) to comfortably carry inside the waist. This works for me. I have the XL which I initially thought felt a bit big, but it's comfy. 100% would buy it again.

This vest is better than I expected. It is comfortable. It's FULL of pockets of various sizes. Some hook-and-loop, some zippered. Two interior pockets each with elastic bands for concealed carry, and a Sig P250 fits perfectly. Those pockets have hook-and-loop closures, which keep it in but are easy to open. And though those pockets on either side are made for concealed carry, they are not exclusively holsters. Anything else could go into them, and they are very deep and secure. Pockets inside for six extra 9mm mags, but I think anything larger will be difficult. Canvas material. I really like it. As I said, my micro 9mm fits perfectly, BUT I don't know about something larger. I can say that a large frame revolver does NOT fit well, and would stick out too much. I think this will work well in spring through autumn. It is not lined so is not a winter vest, though it is a bit heavy.

Good quality vest. Sucks on the wear. The collar across the back of the neck hurts after wearing an hour or longer

I bought two of these, one for my father for his birthday, and one for myself. I’m reviewing the one I bought for myself. I really liked it, but it was just a tiny bit too snug for me. To go up to a large would have been too much. It’s a bummer because I really liked the weight and the feel of it. Lots of well-placed pockets. And the concealment pocket was roomy (in a good way). Also, I thought it looked fairly attractive without drawing attention. When I saw my father try his on, it didn’t strike me that he could be wearing a concealment vest. At a glance, it could’ve been a hunting vest or a photography vest, or a fishing vest…and to me that’s very important. Incidentally, he really likes his vest. He has literally been wearing it every time I have seen him since I gifted it to him the other week. He might even be sleeping in it. Check back soon for that review.
