Belts?

[Ak44]

The Ares Gear Ranger belts look nice but 80 bucks and 6-8 weeks seems a little extreme for a web belt and Cobra buckle.

That's what I'm thinking, but your talking to a guy who waited 14months and 14days for a SA PRO haha

For an every day wear belt i.e.: hold your pants up and your pistol and mags, I like The Wilderness Instructor Belt:

Be sure to size the belt as instructed on the website, and size with your pistol on.

For a load bearing belt or inner belt for a Molle/Pals sleeve/overbelt I like the Specter 2" Duty Belts.

F2S thanks, have you tried their Titanium instructor belts?

I like a discreet appearance, and prefer a standard looking leather belt. I've been wearing the Filson 1-1/2" double thick belt for a few years, and my original one still looks new. Excellent belt.

When I don't mind the riggers belt look, Wilderness is GTG.

Been wearing a CSM TSA belt for a while. No complaints; it holds up well, carries a gun and gear easily, little to no wait time, and is modestly priced.
A little obvious, though.

Not F2S, but I've had one of those for 4 years and it works like advertised. Titanium buckle is very subdued and I like the look a lot.

My only issue with Wilderness is loss of "real estate" due to to fold-over design - can't carry much of anything on velcro side. That's the primary reason I prefer Ares. I do carry a lot of stuff on my belt - cellphone, pager, small fixed blade, spare mag and holster, all positioned between 9 pm and 4 pm out front.

YVK thanks for the input, this is just a regular belt I'll be wearing to hold my pants up. If I'm not carrying, I don't put anything on my belt. I keep everything in my pockets.

+1 for wilderness

i've worn the same wilderness 5 stitch belt almost every single day for the last 3 years or so, and it's still completely serviceable.

it's my;
gun belt
work belt
combat utility uniform belt

It is a great belt then. I like an ability to adjust it vs. regular leather or synthetic belts with fixed holes, it holds up well to wear, the support is great and Ti buckle is so neutral - it goes well with khaki, denim etc.
