AIWB Belts...

[LowSpeed_HighDrag]

I'm looking for a new belt. I recently lost 50lbs, and own nothing that fits anymore.

Since I no longer have a gut, I carry AIWB and it seems to be the most concealable option, but

I'd like to get a new gun belt, one that is comfortable, not overtly tactical, and will look at home in most casual/semi casual styles of dress.

I'm looking at the following:

Emissary Belt V2

Magpul Tejas "El Burro"

Ares Aegis Belt

Volund G Hook Belt

I am strongly leaning towards the El Burro and Emissary as they don't scream "tactical" to me, but I'd like to hear your opinions on why/why not. I am also open to suggestions. I'll just say, riggers belts, cobra belts, D rings, etc are all a no go for me.

Thanks!

There are many carry leather belt options out there.

My favorite belt which I also use to carry AIWB: https://www.saddlebackleather.com/fu...n-leather-belt

The key for comfort, to me, is to put the buckled at the side on the button of your pants.

In the same boat as you.

I can only comment on the Aegis belt, but it’s a great belt for what you’re describing. My only gripe is that it’s REALLY stiff! Way stiffer than any rigger belt I owned, but I have zero doubt that it will support a handgun and accessories.

If you want less Tactical, you also might want to check out a biothane belt like this:

Or look at the daltech force line of biothane belts. They’re more conventional looking but any shoe repair shop can punch extra holes in the belt if you need to cinch it down more.

I own both and wear them daily. the Boxer is great due to the range of adjustment, but, the daltech biothane is thicker/stiffer. First Spear also makes a good biothane belt as well.

Double post.

If you're looking for a casual belt that works well the Kore belts are great with the ratchet buckles. Also the 5.11 leather belts are good and look like a normal belt.

Congrats on the weight loss. I'm down a bunch of weight myself. I recently picked up an enhanced Aegis and holy **** it's a stiff ass belt. With that said it does a damn good job holding up my trousers and Tier 1 Agis with full EDC set up. The buckle is rather large but due to the holster set up I it have moved much further to one side. It hides well..
I'm guessing you tuck in your shirt a lot.

If you're into the social media thing take a look at Instagram and search hashtags using the belt make and model. You'll see pics and get an idea of how they look with different kinds of dress.

Mean Gene Leather Victory Aegis. It's think so think about your holster attachment method.

I have the Emissary Belt and I like it...stiff enough to support a handgun, multiple mag pouches/mags and a couple of other items. I wear it to work on biz casual or jean days. It’s flexible enough to bend with the body and AIWB holster. It did take almost 4 months to get it from Alonso Defense, so you’ll likely need something in the interim if you go with it.

I'd look at the Slim version of the Volund Atlas Belt. Not as stiff as the standard, good option for AIWB. This has been my go-to for three years now.
