Great Shirt!
Whether you're going to use it for Concealed Carry, workout shirt, or just as a comfortable undershirt, this is really the perfect product. Obviously, compression shirts are a little expensive, but for the price, it seems really high quality. I was very excited to try on this shirt. I usually wear a 2XLT (I'm a pretty big guy), but I went a size small to prevent my gun from drooping. My Every Day Carry is a Springfield XD 45, with a 4in barrel. Its not the best gun for concealed carry, but my options are occassionally limited and I wanted a concealed carry shirt for the warmer weather (in the fall and winter I wear a shoulder holster rig, but that is difficult to conceal when it is warm) I bought this shirt to carry my new Taurus TCP 738, but I was amazed at how versatile it was. I can easily carry either gun, or both and two magazines for each. Obviously, that heavily loaded, there is some bulging, but that's to be expected. One gun, and one magazine, tucked in, under a light shirt and you really can't tell. The pockets are secured by velcro and allows me the option of a semi-horizontal carry, or completely tucked under the arm and verticle. Note for anyone considering carrying this way, cross draw can really slow your draw time. With this shirt, your weapon is tucked further under your arm, and you have to slip your hand under the flap and break through the velcro. I'm used to cross draw, its my prefered way to carry, but I even needed to practice to get a consistent draw speed. Buyer beware of that. I wear the shirt under my dark shirts at work (I wear a suit) and it is extremely comfortable, and the compression and fabric keep me cooler (than regular undershirts like cotton or poly, suck in my gut a little, and keeps my back straight. I'd buy more of these shirts just for that reason, and for the versatility of easily carrying after work without strapping on a holster. Also, the shirt, even a size smaller and not a tall size, is a perfect length, and stays tucked in well. I really like this shirt and plan to buy more. The only draw back to this style of shirt (I don't know if its specific to the 5.11 brand, is that the pockets press against the skin on the side of your chest, and the stitching and seams take some getting used to. Mine felt a little itchy at first, only because I've never worn a shirt like this. I am quickly getting used to it, and really do love this shirt. Buy it, wear it, and enjoy.04/19/13 Update: I've worn this shirt several times, washed and dried it, and still love it. The only issue I've had with this shirt is that I was at a barbecue, bent over, and my gun fell out. Luckily, no one was around to see it, but I wasn't happy. My 45 XD, fully loaded, is pretty heavy, and the small velcro patches just can't hold up to that much pressure. I still love the shirt, and I will still definitely use it for this gun, I just have to be more careful.

Best Concealed Setup Ever
Yes, it is a little tight, but it is a compression shirt. I have tried several different concealed setups (inside the pants holsters, hip holsters, shoulder holsters) and this one is by far the most comfortable and easy to conceal. I have to wear a shirt and tie daily, with my shirt tucked in; this shirt provided an awesome solution. At first the shirt was a little tight, but after a few minutes of not thinking about it I forgot how tight the shirt was and found that it was actually quite comfortable. I would recommend this method to any one! The seams do itch a little bit on bare skin, but I wear an undershirt under this any way and that solved the problem. Also made it so that I don't have to wash it every day. I didn't find that it was too warm, granted I wouldn't want to exercise in this shirt with an undershirt, but I was able to wear it all day in an office setting comfortably.I purchased the medium size and I weigh about 185 and am 5'8". I don't know that if I got the large it would provide the needed support to conceal and keep the pistol close to my body. I carry a .45 Colt 1911 with a 4" barrel. The gun fits perfectly in the holster and with the Velcro I have no fear of it falling out. The design of the shirt made carrying the extra weight of a larger pistol easy. It also keeps the pistol close to my side so there is no printing. If you were to wear a tight t-shirt over this, of course you would see the pistol but a relaxed fit button up and you would never know I had a pistol.

Great shirt, not the best holster setup
It's a compression shirt with holster pockets, that's it. It's a true-to-size fit. I wear a size 38-40 jacket, which is in 'medium' range, and a medium shirt fits me fine.The problem with this holster shirt is that the holster pocket is not perfect. For one, it's not big enough for a gun with a light mounted. It's got the classic L-shape for a gun with no light. Now, some of the tinier guns like S&W Bodyguard? That might work, but none of my tiny guns have rails, so I haven't tested it.Also, the pocket is on the smaller side. Compacts and subcompacts are great, full sized guns, not so much. My Walther PPQ fits fine, the PPK fits better (and more secure, since it goes deeper into the pocket). The USP is too big.The holster pocket is not perfectly secure. The Velcro can allow the gun to fall out if you're doing acrobatics. If you must do acrobatics while wearing a gun in this shirt, wear a very light gun.It's a good shirt. Looks pretty good, rides fine after it's been washed (a little scratchy when it's fresh out of the wrapper), and carries my stuff. I mainly use it to carry wallet/phone/keys/etc. Sometimes it carries a gun, not always. It's a great shirt when driving - keeps all your gear off your waist and out of your pockets for more comfort.If you get the white one, be aware that it is somewhat translucent. The black one is fine, and honestly a bit better looking... it's just that the white one doesn't soak up the sun's rays as much in 90 degree weather, which is a good thing.One more weather tip: if you have a wind- or water-proof jacket over this thing, it's very warm. If you ditch the jacket, you can feel the breeze through the thin middle fabric very easily. Basically, it's a good fabric to warm you up or cool you down.

Bien mais...
Produit bien fini, coupe ajustée, des renforts matelassés pour le confort... Cependant un Glock 26 full se révèle déjà lourd pour les poches, l'ensemble subit une déformation mais le port de l'armée reste assez discret.

High price, High quality.
It is expensive, but it is a high quality item. The yoke system works well. I'm an XL in size and its a snug fit while not being too tight. I may get the next size up if I get another one. One reviewer did say that this was over-priced, but as other retailers charge about the same price, I am unable to compare. But...... , again, it is a high quality product, so I think I'm ok with the price.
