Wintertime Carry Gear

1. In addition to sporting a one-size-fits-all design, the Wilson Combat Black/Gray Beanie boasts 100-percent knitted acrylic yarn construction that will keep your head warm in the cold of winter. Thanks to its retro toboggan-style design, cursive logo and subdued woven label with a merrowed-edge pattern on the cuff, you can show off your love for one of America’s finest pistolmakers without calling undue attention to yourself. MSRP: $18.71; wilsoncombat.com


2. With added clothing layers as the mercury drops, a shoulder holster becomes a great concealed-carry option. The DeSantis Holsters Patriot GRD Shoulder Rig has been updated to include the company’s GRD (Gunhide Retention Device) which helps retain the handgun by adding an additional level of security and the added peace of mind of an audible click when your gun is securely in place. Its holster, harness and double-magazine pouch are constructed from black 1060D ballistic nylon for enhanced comfort and durability. MSRP: $106.99; desantisholster.com


3. From its polyester/spandex construction to its abrasion-resistant outer layer, soft interior and Teflon shield capable of repelling water with ease, Nine Line Apparel’s Ripstop Softshell Jacket will be your go-to casual companion when the temperature cools off. An adjustable hem and snap cuffs seal out the elements, while convenient zippered pockets and a media-player port keep your belongings close at hand. Available colors include black, blue and olive. MSRP: $114.99; ninelineapparel.com


4. Far from your typical leather belt, the improved Magpul Tejas Gun Belt 2.0 “El Burro” features the addition of a supportive but flexible, waterproof polymer layer as the backing, rather than wedging it between layers of leather, resulting not only in added comfort and support, but also protection against the elements. Its low-profile buckle sports a subdued, brushed-silver finish. MSRP: $29.95; magpul.com


5. Propper Kinetic Tactical Pants live up to their name. Water- and dirt-repellent, its polyester/cotton ripstop blend is built for tough, professional use. Even the little features—like a divider in the cargo pockets and a sunglasses loop—are built into these tactical pants to make carrying your EDC gear easier, more practical and more comfortable. MSRP: $59.99; propper.com
