Whether going out to the gym, running errands or just enjoying a walk outside, leggings can provide a comfortable and discreet way to carry your firearm. These specialized garments allow you to conceal your weapon with a built-in waistband pocket that supports front and back-of-the-waistband concealed carry in the appendix or 5 o’clock draw positions.
Concealment
Leggings are a great choice for concealed carry due to their stretchy nature. This allows them to cling to the body, concealing your firearm without it swinging around or giving away its position with every movement. Leggings also provide the flexibility and mobility to move easily throughout your day.
In addition, leggings have built-in holsters that can securely hold your firearm while providing quick access in an emergency. To test how secure your holster is, perform everyday movements and tasks, like taking a short jog or leaning over to pick up something off the ground. A good holster will stay in place through these tests, and if necessary, practice reholstering while wearing your leggings to evaluate how easy it is to draw your gun when needed. In addition, a bra holster or thigh holster worn under leggings with a larger piece of clothing over them is another great way to conceal your gun while in leggings.

Comfort
Concealed carry leggings cling to the body, making them ideal for concealed carry. They also tuck well into boots and shoes, providing easy access in an emergency. Leggings are also lightweight, allowing easy movement without feeling stiff or restrictive. Concealable leggings come with waistband holster pockets designed to fit specific guns. This secures your weapon inside the waistband, eliminating the need for a belt or clip that could come loose while exercising or doing other physical activities. The holsters are ambidextrous, which makes them the perfect solution for women who want to carry on both sides of the body. This is a major advantage over soft holsters, which require you to unsnap the strap before you can draw. The leggings also have security straps, which reduce the risk of accidental discharge during reholstering or when reaching for your gun in a rush. This is important because many people forget to reholster their firearm properly, leading to it falling out of the waistband or accidentally firing during a self-defense situation.
Convenience
Leggings are a go-to staple for many women, and they can be worn for just about any occasion, from a gym session to a night out with friends. However, wearing a concealed carry holster with these skintight garments can be challenging, especially if you want maximum comfort and safety. The most important consideration when choosing leggings for concealment is the fit. The best concealable leggings offer built-in holsters in the waistband that are designed to cradle your firearm against your body without falling out when you bend or move. They also work well with tunic-style shirts or other tops for added coverage and protection.
Safety
Unlike carrying a gun in a purse, which can make it difficult to reach a firearm in an emergency, leggings with concealed carry pockets offer a discreet way to have a gun. This allows women to keep their hands free without compromising on their ability to draw in the event of an attack. Moreover, since leggings are made from stretchy material, they can cling to the body, keeping the weapon from swinging around and giving away its location. This makes them ideal for inside-the-waistband (IWB) carry with a concealment strap. While the stretchy leggings fabric can cling to a firearm and cause printing, this can be mitigated by using a static guard or rubbing them down with dryer sheets.
