It is thicker kydex. Good forming too.

The only "problem" with the thicker leather versus the horsehide on my crossbreed is the break-in. You need to wear it for two or three full days before it sets for your pistol/carry position/body shape. After a week week you'll notice the set the leather will take.

Re: CrossBreed vs Alien Gear IWB

I've been carrying with it for 2 weeks. The leather has taken a set and I got the "right" setting for retention. It's comfortable. I actually had to carry for 32 hours straight (long story) I even slept in a car with it in place. No problems. Super comfy. :thumbs2:

Two changes:

1) I swapped my comp-tac clips onto it and removed the extra screw grommets.
2) I had to use some gaffers tape on the top and at the trigger guard from the Glock rubbing the edge and causing it to fray at the edges.

Re: CrossBreed vs Alien Gear IWB

I just got an Alien Gear IWB. The metal clips dug into my slacks and gouged my belt. I have a Comp-Tac Spartan. I took the screws and clips (plastic) from the comp-tac and they fit just fine. I like the warranty and the wider set clip locations. Good retention and a smooth draw. I'm still breaking in the leather but I am a fan so far.
