CrossBreed Holsters, a renowned name in the concealed carry industry, has introduced an innovative solution for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts who venture out with full-size backpacks or daypacks. The new Chest Rig Nomad addresses the challenge of carrying a handgun comfortably and ensuring easy access while wearing a pack. This development marks a significant advancement for those who need to carry a firearm in remote areas.

Building on the success of CrossBreed’s original Chest Rig for pistols and revolvers, the Nomad features three adjustable hook-and-loop straps that secure the system between your backpack’s shoulder straps. This universal design fits most backpacks, daypacks, and cargo haulers, positioning the handgun high on the torso. This placement ensures comfortable all-day carry and quick access, which is crucial when navigating the backcountry.

At the heart of the Chest Rig Nomad is a rugged Kydex pocket, tailored to specific handgun models, and paired with CrossBreed’s premium soft and breathable leather backer. This wide, padded backer distributes pressure evenly, eliminating uncomfortable “hot spots” and pressure points during long treks. The adjustable three-point strap system allows the Chest Rig Nomad to adapt to various pack designs and seasonal clothing changes, ensuring a perfect fit year-round.

Customization is a key feature of the Chest Rig Nomad, thanks to its versatile handgun retention system. Users can adjust the pocket-to-backer screws to achieve the optimal lateral tension on the handgun, while the integrated trigger guard retainer can be fine-tuned for perfect retention and draw performance. This system mirrors the functionality of CrossBreed’s popular Reckoning holster system, providing a familiar and reliable experience.

The Chest Rig Nomad also boasts a quick-release buckle system, making it easy to take the pack off or put it on without removing the holster. By simply compressing the side release, similar to a pack’s sternum strap buckle, users can effortlessly detach the pack, adding to the convenience and practicality of the design.

Available in a wide range of handgun model fits and various hardware color options, the Chest Rig Nomad offers customization to suit individual preferences. Customers can choose between the durable black cowhide leather backing or CrossBreed’s popular Founders backing. This new offering from CrossBreed Holsters elegantly solves the challenge of carrying a defensive firearm on outdoor adventures.
