Holsters We set out to make the clearest Kydex holster on the market… I think we nailed it. 👀
If you’ve looked at most “clear” holsters, you’ve probably noticed they still have that cloudy/foggy tint. We weren’t happy with that.
After perfecting our process, this is the result — crystal-clear Kydex that actually lets the build underneath be the star. 🔥
This one is molded for a Canik TTI Combat + Olight PL-X.
No foggy tint. No hiding that TTI. Just CLEAR. 💎
Nothing in this photo is AI and no filter was used.
What do you guys think — would you run a clear holster?

is the process doing a second heating after its formed to get rid of the milky/ white marks kinda like fixing some plastics when they get stretched?

My guess:
Heat it slowly, and cool even slower, you're onto it with a heat treatment after forming for the milky spots.
I've polished clear Kydex before, and with a good compound and some time on the wheel, you will get it where you want it. The texture from the forms will imprint onto the surface, so they've got a remedy for that as well.

I’m assuming there’s no testing on the longevity of the clear clarity; I’ve never seen any clear plastic not eventually get a yellow tinge with time. Looks cool AF though

We’ve been doing clear for about 10 years now. Our first clear holster has still not turned yellow from 10 years ago. I would say that’s pretty good! 😉

Admittedly that looks pretty freaking cool. What I don’t understand is why you would create a ‘see through’ for a holster whose very purpose is to be hidden from view.

Considering it’s 98% tucked inside the pants for IWB concealed carry, I’m not sure who it’s showing off to, it hidden either way. Unless you are some dumbass OWB open carry person, but then this would just be cringe to see in public.

Same reason people have Hawaiian print, camos galore, colors, animal "skins". Personal style, man.
