then CrossBreed Belly Band 2.0 is worth a shot.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>It\u2019s good for deep concealment when pocket carry doesn\u2019t work. And it\u2019s better than an ankle holster for a million reasons, a list too long to add here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you\u2019re bothered by tuckable clips being visible, this belly band is also a good way to conceal under a tucked-in shirt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It\u2019s a comfortable holster for women if waistband carry doesn\u2019t work. Works great just below the breasts, or around the waistline to keep a drawing position you\u2019re used to with waistband carry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Great holster for workouts \u2013 sweatpants, basketball shorts, etc. you can stay protected at all times with this one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a man, you\u2019ll be able to skip wearing a belt some days. If you\u2019re a woman, this holster makes it easier to fit concealed carry into your existing lifestyle and wardrobe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the CrossBreed Belly Band 2.0 is a good alternative to traditional holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Shouldnt_Buy_Crossbreed_Modular_Belly_Band_20_Holster\"><\/span>Who Shouldn\u2019t Buy Crossbreed Modular Belly Band 2.0 Holster:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you want to carry bigger guns, this holster probably won\u2019t hold the weight very well, and the top side of the gun will end up sticking out.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>If you\u2019re looking for extreme durability, then you won\u2019t find that with belly band holsters. Fortunately, you can buy the band separately when one wears out, but because the fabric is always under pressure it ends up wearing out sooner or later inevitably.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally, if you live in a hotter climate and spend time outdoors, belly band carry might end up being too hot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Crossbreed_Modular_Belly_Band_20_Holster_Review\"><\/span>Crossbreed Modular Belly Band 2.0 Holster Review<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_Crossbreed\"><\/span>About Crossbreed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I\u2019m just adding this section in case you haven\u2019t heard of the company. To let you know that they\u2019re a legit, established company, with customer service staff on the call to solve any problems that you might run into with your order.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Founded in 2005, CrossBreed Holsters is probably the best-known hybrid holster manufacturer in the USA today.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike many holster brands, they don\u2019t filter their reviews on the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that if they mess up, it\u2019s all out there for the public to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CrossBreed are very responsive in their reviews section.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever someone\u2019s had an issue with one of the holsters they ordered, the team stepped in and arranged a replacement or a return.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve only had good experiences with them, and can recommend the brand if a hybrid holster is something that you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_We_Tested\"><\/span>How We Tested<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I carried the CrossBreed Belly Band with my Sig P365 for two weeks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Activities I did with it include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Wearing it around the home, to get used to it<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Took it running<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wore it while in the gym<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tried to play basketball with it<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gave it to my wife to get her take on comfort for women<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And took it to the range to practice the draws<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And here\u2019s how it performed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Build_Quality_Durability_Looks_Feel\"><\/span>Build Quality, Durability, Looks &amp; Feel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The rig consists of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A 4&#8243; wide nylon belt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A hybrid leather and kydex holster<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You probably already know this, but \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What sets the CrossBreed Belly Band 2.0 apart from other belly band holsters is the Kydex shell that your gun goes into.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kydex shell attaches to the band via a 3\u201d velcro strap. You wrap the band over the holster for additional security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Velcro is strong &amp; sticky.<\/strong> The velcro strip itself is bigger in this 2.0 version of the modular belly band. The big velcro strip is good, because you can get the right where you want it. There\u2019s a lot of room to play around with different positions, heights, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The anti-slip surface is executed well<\/strong>, and also keeps the band from moving around sideways while you\u2019re carrying it. Once you have it on, it sits pretty tight and doesn\u2019t move around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The inner surface of the band is anti-microbial, because let\u2019s face it \u2013 this band is going to see its fair share of sweat during its lifetime. This should keep the band from getting smelly as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Note: Most other belly-bands come with an elastic nylon holster that is sewn into the belly band. This has a number of downsides. The nylon doesn\u2019t protect the trigger properly, increasing your negligent discharge risk. Second, it collapses once you pull the gun, making re-holstering with one hand impossible. In other words \u2013 most belly bands are bad holsters and belong in the trash. Not this one.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The band comes with a phone pouch. The good news is that on this new model, <strong>they made the phone pouch a little larger<\/strong>. So even if you have that large iPhone MAX model, it\u2019ll fit into the pocket just fine. The phone pouch doesn\u2019t close at the top but keeps the phone fixated well, with zero chance of it falling out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are <strong>2 small pockets for spare magazines<\/strong>, but you can also use them for whatever else you need. Keys while running, a snack bar, and a flashlight. There is space for your concealed carry permit, as well! In case your state requires you to have the permit on you while concealed carrying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to remember that the <strong>neoprene will wear out with time<\/strong>, it\u2019s not something like leather that will last you for many years. But it\u2019s the best material that we have available for belly bands right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the band won\u2019t last forever \u2013 it\u2019s rated to be hand-washed for up to 25 times. Overall, 25 times is more than enough, and you shouldn\u2019t expect more from synthetic neoprene-like materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that if the belly band wears out, you don\u2019t have to buy the full holster again. CrossBreed does sell these bands separately, and buying up a new band will set you back about $30 the last I checked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Retention_Fit\"><\/span>Retention &amp; Fit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The retention of the Kydex part is good, snappy, and overall well-executed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I get good positive retention on my Sig P365, just like any other hybrid holster I\u2019ve used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a decent amount of pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the additional strap of velcro covering the firearm when it\u2019s holstered \u2013 it\u2019s well-protected and secure at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comfort\"><\/span>Comfort<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The band is easy to put on and comfortable in most situations. It\u2019s also easy to adjust &amp; reposition on the go if you need to do so. &nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t forget that the band is there, but while wearing it my gun doesn\u2019t poke, prod, or cause pain in any other way. It doesn\u2019t dig into my stomach while sitting down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It did take some adjusting and getting used to, but when I finally got the band where I liked it, it was great and I didn\u2019t notice it any more than a regular holster. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comes in small (29-36 inches), medium (36-42 inches), and large (42-52 inches) sizes. You\u2019ll find your fit no matter how big or small your waist is. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There are different ways of wearing the belly band.<\/strong> You can wear it on your belly, as the name suggests. Or if you\u2019re aiming to replace your tuckable holster, you can push it down lower under a tucked-in shirt. So the gun would be sitting around your appendix carry position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wore it around my belly for most of the time with the gun either in 1 o\u2019clock or 4 o\u2019clock positions. But the concealment was also good in the appendix position which I tried a couple of times and liked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>With that said, carrying lower will probably be uncomfortable if you\u2019re on the bigger side<\/strong>, as the band will be pushing your belly up above the belt. That would also push the handle of your gun out &amp; increase the chances of your gun printing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And while it\u2019s good in most situations, here are some potential downsides to keep in mind with this one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>If you have a bigger gun &#8211; the grip of your gun might rub against your body<\/strong> &#8211; that DEPENDS A LOT on the type of your body and the size of your gun. Bigger folks trying to carry bigger guns in this will run into this. Keep this in mind.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>If you wear it around your waist, the belly band will ride up when you sit down.<\/strong> That\u2019s just the way it works \u2013 it doesn\u2019t have a clip keeping it in place like a waistband holster does. One of the tradeoffs you have to make when using a belly band.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ease_Of_Concealment\"><\/span>Ease Of Concealment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I had no trouble concealing while wearing this rig.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The band wrapping around the holster keeps it closer to the body, which makes it better for deep concealment than most other belly bands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>While carrying, the grip does push out from the body a little bit.<\/strong> The band wrapped around the gun helps with this, but still. It\u2019s best used with a smaller frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I wouldn\u2019t use it with bigger guns.<\/strong> The belly band is strong, but expecting it to support a full-sized frame is really pushing it. It will stretch out the neoprene, and the top of the gun will tilt forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Side note: If you do cover your belly band up with a shirt, avoid white as it\u2019ll be visible through the fabric.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with any CCW holster, you\u2019ll have to watch your clothing while wearing this rig if you want to have deep concealment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adjustability\"><\/span>Adjustability<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the gun that you choose to wear, you can position it anywhere in the front of the body. Below your chest, around the middle, or slightly on the side.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can adjust the cant however you want with the adjustable velcro. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No complaints here \u2013 everything works. The holster\u2019s easier to adjust than most of the waistband carry models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ease_Of_Draw_Reholstering\"><\/span>Ease Of Draw &amp; Reholstering<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The gun draws smoothly and re-holsters like a regular holster.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to get my hand inside an elastic waistband to establish a proper grip before drawing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drawing speed will depend on the exact belly band position that you\u2019re carrying with, and the clothes that you have on. Pulling up the shirt does not interfere with firearm access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A common complaint is the retention being too tight for a good draw, from what I\u2019ve read online.<\/strong> There\u2019s nothing wrong with that, have patience. Let the holster break in, use it for a little while, and holster and reholster the gun until it loosens up a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s better that the holster is a little more on the tight side in the beginning, rather than too loose. The former you can fix, but there\u2019s nothing you can do about the latter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Crossbreed_Modular_Belly_Band_20_Holsters_Price_Value_For_Money\"><\/span>Crossbreed Modular Belly Band 2.0 Holster\u2019s Price &amp; Value For Money<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Retailing around $70 \u2013 it\u2019s not the cheapest belly band holster on the market. But it\u2019s definitely one of the most advanced ones out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I won\u2019t compare it to the cheap $20 belly bands. Don\u2019t buy them. Nobody should. They\u2019re not safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As for this one \u2013 it\u2019s decent value for money, considering that they\u2019ve actually managed to make a comfortable &amp; non-slippy belly band model that <em>just works<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The interchangeable holster shell means that you can use it for different guns as well.
