Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.0

Idaho-based Alien Gear Holsters makes…. you guessed it: holsters. Specifically they focus on hybrid holsters. That is to say, holsters made from both leather and plastic. The idea is that the leather is more comfortable against you body, and the plastic retains better and doesn't stretch over time. It should be noted that Alien Gear can be a polarizing holster manufacturer, with strongly held opinions held on both sides — some people praise them, others deride them.

If you're one of the former, you'll be glad to know the Cloak Tuck 3.0 is adjustable for tension, angle, and ride height. If you're one of the latter then you either won't care or you'll use it as an opportunity to complain — which is, of course, your right. Because, capitalism.

Here's what they have to say about it:

Hayden, ID – Alien Gear Holsters, the most comfortable concealed carry holsters on the planet, offers the most customizable IWB holster in existence with the award-winning Cloak Tuck 3.0 IWB Holster. This extraordinarily comfortable and concealable inside-the-waistband gun holster can be easily adjusted for cant, ride height and retention.

Customer Service Representative Maxwell Wiener explained that few holster companies offer the adjustments Alien Gear Holsters does.

“Most gun holsters on the market are permanently riveted with non-adjustable hardware,” Wiener said. “Our holsters allow personalization with adjustable hardware, previously unavailable to folks that concealed carry.”

By simply relocating the two durable holster belt clips provided in each order, concealed carriers can customize the holster cant (zero or 15 degrees in either direction) and ride height for ultimate comfort and concealability.

Mechanical Engineer Sean McCoy stressed the importance of carrying a holster with custom retention capabilities.

“Being able to tighten or loosen the holster retention on your gun, you can optimize the security of your holster for your own unique situation,” McCoy said.
