The VHS 4.0 (Vertical Holster System) from Galco provides comfortable all-day wear and quick accessibility to your firearm. Although, a light zippered fleece under jacket provides continued concealment when you remove your outer coat. However, one drawback with a shoulder holster is that you cannot take your coat off in most places. Shoulder holsters are easy to conceal under a coat or jacket and remain easily accessible. Once such option for concealed carry in the winter, is a shoulder holster. If you are not in the market for a new coat and your current coat isn’t designed for concealed carry, there are other options.

Specifically, the non-collapsible design will help keep it open for re-holstering, even under heavy clothes and coats. With this in mind, the Versacarry Compound OWB holster, Arc Angel Edition, is a solid consideration.

In addition, the removeable fleece liner helps you stay warm in lower temps. The 10K/10K waterproof shell ensures that not only you stay dry, but your firearm does as well. The 3-in-1 Parka 2.0 from 5.11 has everything you need to stay warm and functional. Which his why it is important to take your concealed carry into account when selecting the right coat.

Not only is there the risk of hypothermia but you also want to be able to manipulate your CCW in an emergency. Obviously, warmth has to be a top priority when old man winter hits.
