As Cyber Monday deals peppered the gun world Monday, Alien Gear used the online shopping day to debut its latest ShapeShift holster — the ShapeShift Backpack.
The latest in the company’s almost continuous stream of holsters under the ShapeShift umbrella, the ShapeShift Backpack falls in with the series’ modularity. Designed to allow gun owners to tote their pistols hunting, hiking or during outdoor activities, the backpack acts as two-part system.
The first is the company’s Shift Shell which encapsulates the pistol and fully encloses the trigger guard and muzzle. The second part of the equation is the mount, or in this case the backpack. The Shift Shell attaches to the backpack’s strap holster mount to support the gun and rig on the pack. The strap attachment is crafted from three polymer pieces with a heavy duty nylon tubular webbing. Alien Gear said the benefits of the webbing is that it “generally requires thousands of pounds of pressure” to break.
