Or any other type of pants that are loose fitting and don't have belt loops? I usually go with a belly band and appendix carry with it. I was just curious if there is a better way to go about doing it, because I am not necessarily a fan of belly bands

Ask "Captain Sweatpants"



All kidding aside the belly band or "Thunderwear" type of holster are likely going to be your options here.

Everest Utility Bag

I'm not sure if mine is exactly this brand, but it looks identical.

Here's mine:

ULTRA TACTICAL SHEEP-DOG GEAR
I use this digital camouflage fanny pack. Sometimes for ultra deep concealment among the sheeple, I'll wear a snap-back trucker hat, a sleeveless under shirt, and RealTree(TM) Crocs.

I use a belly band from Pistol Wear when I run. It isn't the best draw and it sucks for reholstering  but it stays put and allows me to carry concealed under sweat pants and a T-shirt. I've had it for a few years now and it's held up pretty well.

Sweatpants, joggers, basketball shorts, board shorts. Believe it or not you can wear things like that out in public and not look like a lazy piece of shit. I don't like wearing jeans all the time.

I use a Rigger style belt and an IWB holster. Works good. Over underwear of course.

Running in real pants sucks, and when we are dealing with the boat around water I tend to wear shorts.

I never wear shorts or sweatpants in my day to day life, but sometimes they are appropriate.

I frequently carry IWB while wearing sweats with no issue. All my sweatpants have strings in the waistband that I can tie.

T-shirt and shorts then I am usually carrying off body in this cheapish canvas bag I got from Aliexpress.

I don't own sweatpants, but I am armed when I wear a variety of pants without a belt (gym shorts, tuxedo, etc...)

Look up JM4 Tactical holster.  Not a duty type rig, you can't re-holster without removing the holster, but it's a great concealment holster that uses strong magnets for retention.

This thread reminds me I needed to buy another one from them.

Doesn't seem better to me. I like the uniform wideness of a belly band. I also don't want any retention strap.

"Keister carry"! Haha... ("Get Hard" comedy movie).

Seriously though... There is some measure of "this is not conducive to carrying". Sweatpants are one of them.
Have you tried cargo shorts? You can jog/run in them quite well and they will support a firearm (unlike sweatpants). Or even some super stretchy hiker pants (if they're good for hiking, why wouldn't they suffice for jogging?). There are options that still fit that need. Sweatpants aren't one of them. Just say NO to sweatpants if planning on going out in public (no matter the activity). Just my .02

To those who wouldn't be caught dead wearing sweatpants in public:  That's all well and good.  But the OP asked "How do you carry when wearing sweatpants?"

In GD, I would expect smart-ass answers like "Don't wear sweatpants."

This is a technical forum.  Either answer his question, or don't.

So specifics, OP.

Wilderness Instructor Frequent Flyer belt
Kaluban Cloak holster outfitted with Comptac IWB clips
G19

I wear spandex type underwear under the belt and holster with running shorts or pants over. Very solid, quick, and easy to get rid of when I put on my wetsuit or finish my run. Very discreet as well. T-shirt hides everything.

Good grief what a bunch of punks.
I have no idea why he ask about sweatpant carry, I don't care.
I'm just glad he/she's carrying reguardless of the attire.

My Dear Old (late) Dad carried all his life, he was 10th Special Forces Group troop in his younger days, he was a surgery magnet in his older days (maybe due to jumping out of airplanes hundreds of times with a stupid load on) and had no choice but to wear sweats for months at a time, ever had abdominal stitches??
But Lord bless Him he had on major caliber firearm 24/7.

My oldest daughter runs marathons and lo and behold, runs in sweats when the weather is cooler, armed.
My only positive personal (male) input is that a Sticky Holster works for me with minimal waistband string tension and a light(er) gun. A good shoulder holster works fine with sweats but some swing/flop a lot when running. A decent fanny pack type holster snugs up tight enough to run for many miles with either a 1911/2 spare mags or a 329 N-frame/2 speedloaders.

ETA: I do like the idea of wearing a belt/holster under sweats and will try it for ruck marching/running. I guess it will take a bit of adjusting to get right. I know the above mentioned cargo shorts recommendation works, and lets you carry other semi essentials with ease.

ETA2: Lots of people here run 5 miles every morning rain/ice/snow or shine in their regular cubicle work pants or dress slacks..........maybe not. Maybe they ride their mobility scooter into wally in their ever day pants.
