Over the weekend, I was playing with my kids. It led to me, 40 something, a [STRIKE]few[/STRIKE] lot of extra pounds, flat out sprinting a lap around the house. I was in my regular EDC with all of my gear. (Biobelt, kydex OWB, mag pouch's, light & knives.)
Other than my pants slipping down a little, everything stayed where it should.
I remember doing this quite a few years ago when my gear selection wasn't the best. (Let's just say Uncle Mike's was involved.) I lost a few things in the process.
I said all of that to say this. In these times, a full sprint may be more likely than ever. When that happens, you really won't know how good your gear is until you try it. I'd really suck if you had to run 15 yards to cover and when you get there, you gun is on the ground.
So give it a try. Put on what you normally wear for EDC and go out for a full sprint, or whatever your limit may be. Make a few turns too. It's better to find out now what may be lacking in your set up. I'll working on how to keep my pants up better.
I haven't done it yet but I've heard rolling around in the ground in your regular gear is another way to test your set-up. Maybe someone can share their experience/technique for this.
