I use the Kenai while out on my tractor as well as while hunting. Very comfortable and secure.

The site is worth a peak. Some of the kit bags can be used with a holster and the brothers are avid outdoorsmen. They design and test their gear. The kit.bags are made by first spear, iirc.

Yes, the HPG (Hill People Gear) Kit bags stay in place. The are not your typical h-harness deals. They are made for concealed carry, carrying items on your body that you want to keep on you if you need to drop your pack. These guys know what they're doing with their designs. People use them while running and they stay put. I have one that I use for SAR and I carry a pack as well. The harness is by far the most comfortable setup and I am a self professed gear whore, with thousands of dollars spent over the last 10-15 years on USA made gear.
Carrying a pistol on your backpack, especially on the shoulder strap is inconvenient. It is going to move around, put extra weight to one side, and have to be taken off when you drop your pack. Carrying in a HPG setup is a lot more convenient, safer, and easy to draw from if the need arises.
These are not my pictures but gives you an idea of how they are set up with stuff inside and the back mesh harness. Did I mention that they are made in the USA?
I wanted to also mention that HPG offers different sizes and models depending on your needs.
Here’s one of the older Hill People Gear Original Kit Bags It holds wpn, spare mag , cell phone , ID, small range finder etc As a bonus you call wear it while dropping a “deuce “ to protect yourself from “Deliverance type situations “!!!
The only issue I can see with this is if your firearm has a ND for any reason, where are the firearm has an ND its own or you trip and fall and the firearm happens to discharge (it will either be pointed LT or RT), it would be good for anyone in that bullets line of travel.
I can see these be great for other uses. Just a thought.
Great photos provided above!

I can understand that, but I dont carry a P320, so....
The thing I like about the kit bag is the pistol pocket is in the back and its smooth with molle cuts and soft velcro lining. It can be rigged with a holster or the trigger guard cover to mitigate risk or something fuggin with the trigger.
Hill people just released a waist pack that follows the concept of the kit bag, fyi.
Not sure about carrying a 320, I carry Glock’s. Gun doesn’t matter and that doesn’t need to be discussed at this point.
“Holster and it’s configuration” is all about what is comfortable for you in whatever your wearing as well as you being comfortable in the environment you find yourself in.
Holsters don’t matter which type is go for anyone else but you as what works for someone else may or may not work for you. All suggestions serve as recommendations.
I wish you all the best in your quest to locate what works well for you.
The practical side of me says order all of your holsters off of Amazon, that way you can try them all out for up to typically 30 days and return the ones you don’t want free of charge if you have prime. I do that with my hiking boots. This way I can try everything on as far as fit, then I return the ones that I need to return.
