Learn how to carry your POM Black Clip 3-Pack in a pocket for quick, discreet access. Step-by-step guide with common mistakes to avoid.
Quick answer
Carry your POM Black Clip 3-Pack in a front pocket with the clip facing inward for a secure, low-profile draw. The clip prevents shifting and keeps the unit upright.
Why pocket carry works for the POM Black Clip
The POM Black Clip 3-Pack is designed with a sturdy metal clip that hooks over the pocket seam, keeping the unit in place and preventing it from sliding or rotating. This is especially useful for active daily carry where you need quick access without fumbling.
One trade-off: pocket carry may print slightly through thin fabrics. If you wear tight jeans or dress pants, consider the clip position to minimize visibility.
Choosing the right pocket
Front pockets work best because they offer natural hand access. Back pockets can compress the unit and make drawing slower. Avoid loose or cargo pockets where the clip might snag on pocket liners.
How to carry POM Black Clip in a pocket
- 1. Choose a front pocket: Select your dominant-side front pocket. Avoid back or cargo pockets where the clip can catch on fabric or the unit can shift during movement. A loose pocket can cause the clip to dislodge. Test with an empty pocket first.
- 2. Orient the clip inward: Slide the POM Black Clip over the pocket seam so the clip faces inward toward your body. This keeps the unit upright and prevents it from rotating when you sit or bend. If the clip faces outward, the unit may tilt and print through the fabric.
- 3. Insert the unit nozzle-up: Place the pepper spray into the pocket with the nozzle pointing up. The clip should rest against the pocket edge. The flip-top safety should be accessible without removing the unit. Nozzle-down can cause accidental discharge if the pocket presses the actuator.
- 4. Practice drawing from the pocket: Grip the unit through the pocket fabric or by hooking your thumb over the clip. Draw straight up without twisting. Repeat until the motion feels smooth. Twisting the unit can snag the clip on the pocket seam. Practice at home until it clears every time.
