• Durability: Resistant to sweat, moisture, and temperature changes, Kydex holsters don’t stretch, fray, or collapse.
  
• Fast Draw & Re-Holster: The rigid design allows for smooth draws and easy one-handed re-holstering.
  
• Slim Profile: Kydex is molded to the exact dimensions of your firearm, minimizing bulk and maximizing concealability.

Introduction: Why Kydex Rules the Concealed Carry World

When it comes to choosing a holster, the material matters as much as the firearm itself. Kydex, a durable thermoplastic, has become the gold standard for holster manufacturing. Whether you’re a new gun owner or a seasoned concealed carrier, understanding why Kydex holsters dominate the market will help you carry safer, more comfortably, and with greater confidence.

At Rounded Gear, we’ve spent years perfecting our line of American-made Kydex holsters to balance security, comfort, and concealability. This guide breaks down everything you need to know before choosing your next holster.

What is Kydex?

Kydex is a thermoplastic acrylic-polyvinyl chloride composite first developed in the 1960s. Originally used in aircraft interiors, its durability, heat resistance, and moldability quickly made it a favorite material for firearm holsters.

Why Choose a Kydex Holster Over Leather or Nylon?
