Being a gun owner shouldn’t stop you from enjoying the great outdoors. In fact, a gun can be an essential part of hiking gear. Carrying on the trails doesn’t relegate gun owners to oversized wardrobe options or out of fashion wear though, as several companies offer clothing that is both fashionable and functional.
Guns.com met up with patch connoisseur Opie in the Smokies to tackle the East Tennessee mountains. We tried out gear from 5.11 Tactical, Blackhawk, Magellan Outdoors and The North Face. Opie was outfitted first in the Magellan Outdoors Arnasas Pass button-up in Medium Blue, 5.11 Tactical Apex Pants in Battle Brown, Blackhawk Trident boots, 5.11 Tactical Havoc 30 backpack and Glock 19X. After a little trekking, we changed the shirt up to offer a brighter look with The North Face Hammets shirt in Garden Green Ash Plaid.
To see out how the clothes looked on the hike, check out our pics of Opie in the Smokies below.
