⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Like most brilliant solutions, it's actually quite simple...the enclosed semi stretchy gun beklt is run through internal loops, and provides enough rigidity to hold a firearm. To keep hardware slim, Arrowhead uses an ingenious magnetic locking buckle" - CLAY MARTIN, GUNS AMERICA
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "For those of you who live an active lifestyle, the good news is that you no longer have to compromise your safety because you can’t take your gun on a jog or because you have to employ off-body carry at the gym...Arrowhead Tactical Apparel is ensuring you’re comfortably prepared at all times" - EUGENE NIELSEN, US CONCEALED CARRY
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "For an athletic apparel company that has chosen to tackle the problem of effectively concealing a defensive tool, Arrowhead Tactical Apparel has brought a solution that erodes one more excuse of not going to the gym" - FORREST COOPER, RECOIL MAGAZINE
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The real question remains: How does it work? Impressively well. When carrying a handgun, the Carrier Retention system is plenty beefy enough to secure your firearm against your body without any flopping around...As a fitness garment...it is impressive in every way. I lifted weights, including squat and deadlift, in it, and it provides ideal range of motion" - ERIC CONN, NRA SHOOTING ILLUSTRATED
Holster Compatibility and Support
All “Carrier” apparel offers sufficient support for all handguns up to 5 lb / 2.3 kg in IWB holsters when a removable 1.5” retention belt is installed and set up properly. See our set-up guides here.
Yes, we’ve tested a Desert Eagle. It passed the jumping test without sag or bounce.
The OmniCarry belt offers more support than the Rapid Clasp belt. We recommend OmniCarry if you have an oversized carry gun.
Great shorts I love them. Stoked to have an all cotton option. Have a few other pairs which are awesome. But I like the idea of wearing natural fibers. Wish that had two rear pockets but besides that these are great carry shorts
What an amazing product. I like to dress ultra comfortable during the Summer especially when I take my dog for walk. This setup helps me stay ready if need be without sacrificing comfort!
Most comfortable shorts I own. The inner belt is adjustable and easily removable for washing. The shorts are so soft, zippers are perfect, absolutely love them
These have become my favorite Arrowhead product hands down, mostly because they’re 100% cotton. Would love to see more of this philosophy, and a 9” inseam short would be perfect too.
was hesitant and waited so long to pull the trigger on ordering these, if you value comfort and do not wanna wear cargo shorts all summer these are the best pants ever. the pants with the belt are a game changer and comfortable on even hot days buy some you won’t regret it

Perfect shorts for a day out with family, low pro CCW and comfortable.

Damian, thank you very much for this feedback! We're glad that the Sweatshorts are helping you stay cool when you pack heat.
These shorts are great! They allow me to go on my 2 mile jog every morning while carrying very comfortably. Just for the heck of it, I did a cartwheel to see how the belt held up and nothing shifted, even the knife stayed in place. I own both the 8” and 11” and am not disappointed.
I wasn’t sure about these at first figured it was being hyped up.. so I had to try them for myself and I fell in love instantly. Stacked with the Omni carry belt i tend to forget I’m even carrying because it’s that comfortable. I
will definitely be buying more and telling all of my friends who also carry. Try them for yourself they are definitely a game changer in my opinion!!
The shorts are great. The only thing I would want is 2 back pockets with the zipper instead of just 1 but it is not like the pockets are a deal breaker or anything.
Loving my new Arrowhead gear. The Carrier Sweatshorts (8” inseam) are incredibly comfortable and well-made. The latest, redesigned belt is a standout feature — secure, practical, and noticeably improved—great fit, great feel, and perfect for everyday wear.
Tried them on one time, washed them and they shrunk about a size and half. Sadly couldn't enjoy them to thier fullest extent. Super nice quality though for sure.
Store owner replied:
Hey Tristan, we're sorry to hear this happened to you. The shorts are 100% cotton, so that means they will be sensitive to how much heat is used when laundering. We advise tap cold wash plus low heat tumble dry for our cotton products, though it's unfortunately impossible to control for variance between machines when some just run hotter.
Belt is too flimsy for my body and the thickness of the waistband causes certain setups to print that didn't in golf shorts.
Store owner replied:
Hey Alex, 9 times out of 10, when the belt is perceived as not being supportive enough, it just has not been set up correctly. No shame in this, but we'd like to help you out. Please be sure to watch the belt setup tutorial video for your model and follow the steps exactly.
