You’re right. 95% of the populace have no idea what a carry vest is. Probably just think you’re a photographer or love fishing.
They also make good tactical snack vests for going to movie theaters. I can hold enough snacks to feed a small army.
“Tactical snack vest”
Perfect!!!!
Kind of a man-purse.....Carry blow-out kit, additional first aid, extra flashlight/batteries, and sundries spread over a large area....comfy.
Just an observation, but the folks who notice a 5.11 or Duluth vest are the ones you’d want to. Fellow travellers, for obvious reasons. LEO, as a means of deselection, since the large percentage of officers on the ground support RKBA. Criminal actors, as a means of deselection since they usually don’t want to mess with an armed individual. Most sheople barely notice anything at all, condition white most of the time.
YMMV
