The Anatomy of Field Carry

Kydex® Retention Shell

Detailed Component Breakdown
Every component of the Cloak Chest system works together to deliver a secure, comfortable, and accessible cross-body carry solution.
CoolVent™ Neoprene
Purpose: Body-contact comfort layer
Breathable neoprene wicks away moisture and prevents skin irritation during all-day field carry. The moisture-wicking properties keep both you and your firearm protected from sweat-induced corrosion.
- Soft, comfortable against skin
- Superior moisture management
- Prevents bacterial growth
- Durable and long-lasting
Reinforced Cross-Body Harness
Purpose: Three-point anchor system
Heavy-duty woven nylon straps distribute weight evenly across your torso, keeping the holster stable during incline movement, pack carry, and rapid transitions. Adjusts over base layers or under outerwear.
- Heavy-duty nylon construction
- Three-point anchor system
- Even weight distribution
- Adjustable for chest sizes up to 60"
Ballistic Nylon Construction

Passive Retention System
Purpose: Secure firearm lock
Passive retention with adjustable tension provides a secure hold without active safety mechanisms. Fine-tune retention to balance security with draw speed based on your conditions and preference.

- Compatible with lights, lasers, and optics
- Optimized for quick draws

45° Cant Adjustment
Purpose: Optimized draw angle
Factory-set 45-degree cant positions your firearm for a natural arm-sweep presentation across layered outerwear, packs, and tight carry conditions.

Awesome
Good price, quick 2-day shipping. Comfortable and secure holster for my 1911 when I'm flying in the bush. Thanks!
Sig P35 Fuse with Romeo-X Compact (with MAGNETAC™ (Magnetic Activation).
I was able to secure two circular Neodymium magnets to a good location that would actually turn off the optic. I used JB SuperWeld Light Activated Glue with excellent results.
As you can see in the pictures, the magnets over hang the holster, but do not interfere with drawing or holstering the firearm.
Great product im 6'5" 300lb big guy! and it fits beautifully. Makes hiking back in the woods to the river with my 45M&P so much more nice. especially if I have my fishing poles in my hand👍👌
Ive purchased multiple holsters from Alien Gear. They have exceeded expectation across the board. From fit and form, comfort and quality. My two Shapeshifts each came with extra hardware and tool to replace incase of any failure or loss! When I broke my ankle in 2021, it was impossible to hip carry with my hips differed from being on crutches! I decided the chest cloak was required, becoming a priority in my daily dressing. I recently needed a warranty and they went above an beyond to exceed those needs and sent me a brand new cloak! They will continue to be my primary holster company. I have bought seperate shells for my cloak so I can switch my carrys! Im patiently waiting for them to make a shell for my Ruger R8 Revolver, and will happily purchase another cloak to accommodate my Revolver line! If you were contemplating getting a holster, dont waste your time buying it twice! Buy an Alien Gear and enjoy reliability and comfort at the highest level!
I have climbed into my tree stand with it 3 times now. High quality materials, very comfortable. Wish I had purchased years ago. Status out of the way of my saddle quite nicely.
I just got mine in today. I did take a little bit to figure out how to properly get it on but once I did, i love it. I showed a couple of friends and they’re going to be ordering theirs soon
Fits great and i think it will work just fine.
Good price and pistol fits well.
Awesome
Excellent quality, fast delivery!
Well done!
Love these chest holsters. This is the 5th one I have purchased. I have one (with several shells) and the other 4 have been gifts.
Easy to put on. Holds my kimber micro tight to my chest. Under my jacket on my motorcycle. It's very comfortable
Entire ordering process was easy, questions answered regarding fit of model of gun.
Holster fits and seems constructed well
I have been wearing the ‘Cloak Chest Holster’ for my EDC concealed carry pistol. Comfortable, it stays put, easy on-off, easy access and holstering.
I bought this second ‘Cloak Chest Holster’ for a larger pistol while working on the property and carrying unconcealed. This new holster is for a much heavier pistol but same thing: it stays put, easy access and holstering.
The chest holster is awesome! Great product!
As always very happy with my Alien Gear purchase. Fit and feel are very comfortable.
Quality holster. Easy to adjust for good fit.
Holster fit is great the overall fit is comfortable. Adjustability is nice
Looks and works great. Bought the staccatto c2 and it fits my girsan witness2311c perfect
Purchased the chest holster for when I bike. Very comfortable! Doesn't move or bounce around. I love that I can switch out holsters for all my firearms. Well made and designed. Nice job Alien Gear!
Honestly. It feels way more comfortable than I amticalred. Really easy to adjust !
Im a bigger guy, was worried about comfort and this is great.
So far I love it. Very comfortable.
Really happy with my holsters. I did not have to make any modifications and my new 10mm with green dot fit like a glove. Stoked with all of my alien gear and will get more.
Comfortable fit. Arrived quickly but i luve clise to the factory. Irder was fulfilked quickly.
Excellent workmanship!! Love the product!!
Great fit.
Im thinking of returning this,as overall assembly is cheesy. Gun muzzle hangs out where the chest piece pulls away. My first holster from several years ago was heads and shoulders better fit and feel than what I've seen lately
