I'm new to IDPA and just had my first match last month. Should I choose to do more IDPA matches I will need a concealment garment. I've seen some people wearing this khaki fishing vest looking thing, and others wearing nicer..more nifty looking stuff.
Anyone recommend any of the nicer, nifty cover garments? Can anyone recommend some good places to shop online for competition stuff? I'm new to shopping for competition stuff so I'm not even sure of the good places to shop online, or where to look online (aside from just typing it into the amazon search). Thanks! |
| Shootersconnection is a good starting point for competition stuff. Armadillo is one of the better vests. I use a 5.11 tactical vest. I recommend shooting what you have in competitions for a while before spending a bunch on gear. Welcome to the addiction |
| Came here t9 post this question too so glad to see the thread. How abt sizes? Order the same size as the shirt I wear or order a bigger size to cover the extra wiidth of an own? |

Depending on the season I wear my normal clothes. In the winter I wear a hoodie or a Columbia jacket and in the summer I throw on a normal button down. I don’t use anything fancy or stuff I don’t wear around town. Sizes vary for every company and since they are typically fishing vests they tend to be loose on the top/ chest area but aren’t that long to actually cover the gun with your arms out. I would recommend you buy your correct size AND the next size up. Try them and return the one you don’t want. |

| A vest is the norm but anything that covers the gun and the mags is good to go. You want something somewhat stiff. Not only does it make it easier to draw and grab mags, it makes it easier to reholster. I wear a cheap Bass Pro vest in warmer weather and a heavy Duluth Trading jacket in the colder weather. |
