Alien Gear will introduce concealed carry fans to four new modular holsters in addition to an inside-the-waistband holster that features an integrated active cooling fan at the upcoming SHOT Show.
Let’s cut to the chase and get right into this fan-equipped holster which has been previously unseen in the holster industry. The patent-pending, currently nameless IWB features a lightweight fan installed in a polymer unit. This fan directs air flow through “thermoplastic flow channels” settled underneath the holster’s textured surface, according to Alien Gear.
“It’s definitely never been done before. It’s not passive cooling like everyone else does,” Alien Gear Holsters Research and Development Engineer Silas Van Natter said in a press release. “Anyone can put a hole in a holster backer for breathability, but we’re forcing air through that hole to optimize functionality.”
The holster’s fan touts three settings — high, medium and low. The high setting offers the shortest battery life at eight hours while the low setting provides 15 full hours on one charge. The fan sports a rechargeable battery with charge time slipping in under the two hour mark.
