I've done a general Internet seach for a youth range belt with no luck. My 12yrs son shoots IDPA with me, the belt he uses is not ideal for it. What do you guys recommend?

What size is your boys waist? I was going to recommend the Wilderness Frequent Flyer, but they only go down to med-34. Finding a child's stiff belt might be tricky. Hopefully others can chim in... Damn I'm gonna need two belts for my girls down the road now that I think of it.
CR Speed goes down to 28" on their IDPA/EDC belt.

Jones tactical can likely make a nice stiff custom belt. Only problem with them is you never know how long it will take to get it.
My kiddo, and several juniors we shoot with are wearing riggers belts of one form or another trimmed to fit as necessary. A lot depends on the kid. If they are in kid/youth sizes, belt loops may not take the common 1-1/2+ or extra thick gun belts.
I would bet that if you called The Wilderness and explained what you wanted, they'd help you out.
I went through the same thing with my son... Call Ares, their XS was to big for my son but they made one for us 2 inches smaller at at no extra charge. Great people to deal with.
My son weights 80lbs '5 tall. Thanks to everyone for your input.
Agreed. I wear Jones belts; excellent stuff. I got my daughter one of the double color 5.11 belts and just cut and heat sealed it. It's plenty stiff!Quote:
