On long runs the narrow shoulder straps do chafe a little bit. Over the years, the plastic adjustment sliders fail, but are easily fixed with Slik Clips. I recently bought the small sized action packer because the final death blow to my large action packer was that the right shoulder strap pulled off entirely; the stitching sewn through the velcro had worn out and it just popped out from underneath. This is after running three days a week or more for years on end; highly commendable piece of equipment considering the trails I run.

After wearing my new APG Jogging Concealment Holster for a little while, I noticed a few improvements have been made from my old one. The strap that broke on my well used old pouch is replaced with a one piece plastic loop that has a tab extending from it and sewn under the velcro. This appears to be substantially more robust than before. Also, there are now large elastic loops inside the outer pouch, presumably for your wallet/cards/EDC items. This is a nice touch, as my keys usually slide around the bottom of the pouch on the old Action Packer.

In my opinion, the only downfalls are the other plastic hardware- if the adjustment sliders were made of metal this rig would be indestructible. My only wish is that it came in a color other than black; a lot of my running clothes are lighter colored and the black stands out like a sore thumb, it kind of screams “I HAVE A GUN” to me. A choice of tan, green, or gray would be nice, or maybe a multi colored red/white/blue for those of us who are patriotic.

Thank you Active Pro Gear for this well thought out and well made piece of gear!
