if you ride in any sort of tucked position, I would advise against the 5.11 shirt. I bought one with the intention of using it while mountain biking. I soon found that with my torso leaning forward, and after some vigorous riding, the gun migrates to where it is _only_ supported by the velcro tabs . I had the misfortune of leaning on my bars to grab a breather, and had my LCP tumble out onto the ground. ..in front of a couple riders of unknown 2A stance.chasfm11 wrote:It looks like a great option.

If you get the right size, it will hold the gun tight to your side. You can easily carry a full size pistol and a couple of spare mags (under the other arm) and forget they're there. Just use a zippered sweatshirt jacket (hoodie?) to cover it up.
Just be sure to get it much smaller than your normal size. I'm 6' tall and 260 pounds. I normally wear a 2X T-shirt (3X for concealment). My Holster Shirts are XL. I tried a 2X and it is just a bit too loose, with the weight of the pistol pulling on it.
1. Most of the time that I would have a concealment issue, it would in the Summer. A zippered sweatshirt is definitely not going to work for me then as a cover garment.
2. How well does the pistol stay put in the pocket? I deliberately pump several hills during my rides and that means standing on the pedals. There is a lot of body movement. A pistol sliding around on my side would likely make me nervous.
3. It says that it wicks moisture away. That is good. But I normally soak a regular t-shirt during my rides. If tactical shirt gets that wet, how does it feel? I hate the feel clammy stuff up tight against my skin when I'm dripping wet. I've skied and used the polyproph underwear under lots of layers on the slopes. I was every bit as wet then as I get on the bike and the poly didn't bother me.
I retrieved it without any sort of fanfare and it turned out to be no big deal. perhaps this would have gone differently with roadies 
after alot of experimentation, I think I've settled on what works for me: Smith airweight carried in the appendix position in a WRB holster. I have many,many riding hours with this combo and have stopped looking for alternate solutions. I also have a fair number of running miles with this rig and it works well there too.
disclaimer: as a service to the general public, I don't ride in a full-spandex outfit. if that's your riding gear, then printing will certainly be a problem when standing upright.
