And on a non-specific type, it screams ‘gun’.

Like half the women at my kids' dance class tonight were wearing them.

But on dudes in gym shorts, yes, I look at them like "is that for your gun or your Costanza wallet..."

[Last Edit: ROCK6] [#38]

I've found that the bigger they get, the less likely you're going to wear one. HPG is nice, but you need discipline not to overload it. Emdom make a decent one that lays pretty flat. I actually wore one when in uniform and my BDU shirt would cover it up quite well. Ironically, the one I really like is a simple, little Patagonia waist pack. If I wear a black shirt and wear it as a sling bag, you would never notice it, but it's small enough to carry some basic EDC when you're wearing pocketless/beltless swim or board shorts.

Sling bags, while seemingly the new "rage", are actually a pretty good option. I like the size of the Viktos Upscale 2, but you'll be challenged to carry a bottle of water with any of them in that size range.

ETA, if you use a "sling bag" for carrying some additional essentials and still carry on-body (which I recommend), a sling bag won't interfere the traditional OWB/IWB or AIWB access. Such bags usually carry an extra mag or two.
