Items to Carry Self-defense Tools While Running
8. The Can Can Concealment Hip Hugger has several pockets to carry a self-defense tool, cell phone and more! A similar option, for firearms, is the Concealed Carry Belly Band!
9. UnderTech Undercover Concealment Tank: This tank top has fabric that “cools the body” and has a holster on each side, under each armpit, for a right or left handed draw. You can store your firearm in one side, and your iPod in the other, but keep in mind, music negatively effects your situational awareness, so consider using only one earbud!
12. Concealed Carry Fanny Pack: This Concealed Carry Fanny Pack by ComfortTac is ambidextrous and carries the gun horizontally (facing the ground) instead of vertically (pointing to the side) to “ensure your gun is always pointed in a safe direction.”
If your self-defense tool is inconvenient to carry or uncomfortable to wear while running, then it is less likely that you will actually carry it! I hope these self-defense items for women runners help you find what works best for your body type and needs!
Whichever self-defense tools you choose, be sure they are legal in your location and train with them! Having peace of mind while you’re running and returning home safe to your family are worth the effort!
