Lets Talk belts

Reviving an old thread.

I tried to replace my very worn Wilderness Instructor's belt but they are back ordered right now due to no buckles. I am thinking about getting something different and then sending in my buckle for new webbing. Anybody tried the Kore Essentials belt?

I really like mine. The ratchet setup is the bomb.

Update:

I got rid of 1.5" 5.11 nylon belt. It wsas warped/curved/sagged from usage. The area I was putting holder and holster are the area which was warped.
I still have the 5.11 leather type belt since I was selling those on this forum around 2012ish. The top/bottom edges are worn from sliding belt holder and mag holders every time. Besides that it is holding out well. I was wering this and the nylon 5.11 almost every day.

My next belt will be
1.75 5.11 nylon and 1.5 5.11 belt. I really like the stifffness of 5.11 belts. (and they are very inexpensive on ebay/amzn).

I've been loving the Blue Alpha Gear belts. Good buckle. Warranty honored without question. Works great for IWB & OWB equally.

I've had my Hanks belt for 1 1/2-2 years now and it has been great. Makes a night and day difference when carrying a pistol with a regular belt.

I've been tempted by their low pro belts.

I would recommend Hanks as well.

Two years later, but meh, sounds about right:

Leather is for those with strange sexual fetishes, Cowboys, and suit coat models. Look up biothane belts if your belt will be exposed I.e. shirt tucked in, suit jacket, bending over etc. otherwise look up Volundgearworks, Carbon Tactics, Blue Alpha Gear or HSGI

Not a Cowboy or a suit coat model, so I guess that leaves me in the one remaining category. I like the Mean Gene Leather belt for it's near infinite adjustability








Still holding up well five plus years in. Liked it so much I bought another one in black.

I also happen to really like the Galco dress belt, when used as marketed. It tapers very nicely and appears much thinner and narrower than it actually is. Can be worn easily with a suit without standing out. Stiff enough to support a full-sized 1911, though not nearly as supportive as the MGL. But for those suit and tie days, I can't think of anything significantly better.

Well, since we?re talking belts here...

I?m not a cop, a soldier, a mall ninja, or an air soft commando so I run a leather belt. Well, technically its partially leather.

Been running a Lenwood Hybrid belt daily for maybe three years now. It?s thick, stiff, and tough as nails. If I ever manage to wear it out I?ll definitely buy another one.

I did get a Kore Essentials and so far I really like it.
