Just like the shoulder holster the frontpack, which will hold your firearm and anything else you might need, is a favorite among cyclists and joggers. This fits neatly in front of you on your chest. It allows the weight of your firearm to be distributed more evenly while riding a bicycle or jogging. The padded design helps keep the items in place so they are not going to fall out during a chase or strenuous activity and helps to eradicate the bounce. Your gun is still accessible in a matter of seconds and it's comfortable enough to wear for long periods of time.
