The #1 reason to carry a hybrid holster is for comfort. Since the backing is made of a soft, malleable material, the holster molds to your body more than a traditional all polymer holster. There are not any sharp or hard edges being pressed against your body. All StealthGearUSA hybrid holsters also feature adjustable retention, an adjustable cant, and even ride height can be changed by moving the clips on the holster. Our Ventcore holsters are built with a patented technology that allows them to be both lightweight and breathable. Traditional, old school hybrid holsters are made with leather or neoprene that leaving you feeling sticky and sweaty at the end of the day. The backing of our Ventcore platforms are made of a high-performance mesh to prevent the holster from feeling sweaty on hot days. Laser cut ports and strategically placed padded cells allow for breathability and all-day comfort.
