Alanint is quite correct. The constant "poling" while cross county skiing would necessitate the gun not be worn on the hip. I don't think that a chest rig would work well however either. Cross country skiing is a very high energy/exertion effort. When doing lot's of it I would imagine that they had to ventilate their chest area to get rid of excess heat and perspiration. But then they would have to cover up again when they stopped for a rest or to scan the area, etc. A chest rig would then constantly be in the way. That and the fact that they did not have access to the kinds of materials and methods that we have today.
