Forgive me if I merely use it to kid myself into thinking I'm not as fat as I am!

Gonna stick for the moment, and see what shakes out as I (...if I...) shed my winter layer of suet. I'm not straddling the edges of adjustability, else I'd see about trading out. If I need to, I have a buddy nearby who'll fit this belt better and is interested to buy it off me so I can get a Med, if/when the time comes.

I e mailed Matt last night and told him the details of the belt I want and asked him to invoice PayPal. He answered back shortly that my order was in and should be about a week.

He said there must have been a lot of "Internet chatter" becuase he receive a large number of orders over the weekend. I told him of this thread.

I'm interested because of the adjustability + the low profile, one piece buckle.

I've been wearing mine for 3 weeks as my work and weekend belt. I really like the adaptability and it has replaced the others.

I ordered Saturday via e-mail, and was told a week. Got a shipping notice yesterday.

Yep. Pretty impressed so far. I had some questions before I ordered that I addressed via e-mail. They were fast to respond and quite helpful.

I've been using these belts for a month or two now I guess and am quite happy. In fact, I sold off a couple of Wilderness belts after receiving these. I feel that strongly about them.

I still like the Wilderness style belt. I just like these better.

I found that set up, no matter how stiff, to give close to no support up front where I load most everything (AIWB, blade) unless I offset the buckle to the side.
which is a PITA, and gives me no more functional difference than any other belt.

got to handle Orion's today, I didnt realize it had a loop up front that supports the overlapping portion. Looks like it may just work out for appendix after all.
