I wear thin supplex nyon pants and carry in my right front with nothing else in that pocket. I have tried many clip styles over the years and the modern two stage CRK clip is the best made. Mine have never come loose or ridden up. I do everything with it including hiking, backpacking, sitting in tight spaces, you name it. The blasted titanium does not slide like spring steel and stays secure. Just send it in for an adjustment or remove it and carefully do it yourself. Just don't over bend it or it will make the blade stiff to open. Any doubt, send it in.
