Nexbelt Titan Ratchet EDC Tactical Gun Belt – 1.5" Micro-Adjustable Strap, Quick-Release, Fits Up to 50" Waist, IWB/OWB

I have several sturdy 1.5" leather belts that I have used for EDC for years. I generally use the same belts even when I am not carrying unless it's a dressy affair. They have served me well,,, as far as I knew...I recently procured a large caliber revolver to carry when hiking in the mountains.Since I only go when its cold it wouldn't be much of a problem to conceal wearing cold weather gear. And I was looking for something that would pack a little more punch than my EDC choices, without carrying a rifle.I got a holster for it and strapped it to the heaviest EDC belt I had just carried it for a day while working on my private property to see how it felt. After a couple of hours I new it was going to be a miserable day. I was already doubting I would use my new firearm for hiking. I could already see it relegated to nightstand duty, and thinking about the noise and muzzle flash should I ever have to use it in a home protection situation...After a couple of days I had reasoned that maybe I could find better gear to support the extra weight and bulk of a firearm, which I really like and want to use for more than nightstand duty.I started looking at shoulder holsters and different arrangements of holsters and straps, none of which seemed like they would be easy to put off and on, or provide easy access to the firearm if needed in a hurry. Besides I like to keep things as simple as possible.I read a lot of articles about a lot holsters that were supposed to be the best for carrying all this weight and bulk in the safest and most comfortable manner. Then I came across an article about belts for EDC, hunting, and professional duty. It pointed out the shortcomings and issues with belts that were not designed for kind of weight or duty that would be encountered, like when hiking and carrying a heavy weapon for hours or days at a time. It pointed out what to look for when buying a belt for EDC, and it's more than just being described or labeled for EDC.After much more reading and research I decided to try the Nexbelt EDC Titan Nylon Gun Tactical Ratchet Belt for Concealed Carry (Black). I wanted a rigid belt that wasn't going to add anymore weight than needed to an already heavy rig. I also liked the idea of the ratchet style adjustment that provides just the right amount of tension.I got the belt yesterday afternoon and followed the directions for cutting and installing the buckle. I left a little more length than recommended because sometimes I carry IWB and that can use up a little extra length. I can always take more off later if I need to.This morning I put on a pair of jeans with my new belt, holster and the firearm that had been miserable to carry the last time I took it out. It felt really good right from the start. I carried it for several hours while raking, shoveling, bending, carrying and stacking. I hardly knew it was there except when my arm brushed it, as it sticks out a bit more than my normal EDC. Everything was the same as the last time I carried it. Same circumstances, similar work, and the same holster. The difference was night and day. It actually makes the rig feel much lighter. I had to go out this afternoon so I attached my normal EDC and holster to it and again, what a difference. I have always been comfortable carrying my EDC on the belts I had already, but the difference was clear. I thought I was comfortable, but was tolerating a little movement doing regular activities, and even some discomfort at the end of long days. This belt is more rigid, more adjustable, and lighter weight than the belts I have been using, but it manages the weight much better.I intend to wear this belt every day for a while. After that I will buy a couple of more. One of their dress belts and one of their other models.Every one is different, and I won't presume to tell anyone why they should buy this belt. But if your not totally comfortable with your rig at the end of the day it is an inexpensive upgrade over some belts that are 2 or 3 times the cost. If it makes half the difference to you that is did for it's well worth it.I'm glad I bought this belt and I'm looking forward to being able to hike with my new firearm next month!

Supreme quality belt that is quite hard to cut which is not a surprise. Use a roofing knife and skip the kitchen scissors! Quite solid and stiff material and definitely holds a full size gun & holster NO PROBLEM. I tried 2 other brands and returned them because they were wimpy. Not NexBelt. This is the real winner.

My first Nexbelt lasted me 6 years, and I’m still using it. It’s pretty ripped and frayed from day after day use, and putting holsters on and taking them off every single day. So, to get 6 years out of an EDC belt is pretty incredible. I finally bought a replacement even though my first could still last a good long while. Just an amazing edc/gun belt. I’ll never buy another brand.

My husband purchased this and he sizes it correctly and cut it. He has purchased in the past, but he left it at a family home when we were visiting he purchased again because he was very satisfied with this product and the quality and comfort.

Easy to size, simply follow the instructions and use sharp heavy duty scissors. Ratcheting mechanism holds tight, easy to release, and provides a lot of adjustment to get the fit just right. Very sturdy, makes carrying pleasant. Switched from a basic leather belt and this has much more support.

Great belt, I love the reachet like concept and din't find myself adjusting it every few minutes like other belts. I have lost weight since owning it and love how you don't have to munch more holes in it and I kept it at the same length when I first cut it. It holds things well and is very sturdy. It deffently helps you work on posture as it kinda pushes on your back

Didn't come with any instructions and no response from company but found video on YT that clearly explained belt attachment to buckle. There is a flap with teeth to grip the belt after which you screw in two retaining screws through the buckle into the belt. The flap with teeth us very very difficult to close because the teeth don't readily go into the belt as it is so dense. I put it in a vice and carefully compressed the flap into its locked position. Aside from that I'm very happy with the quality and fit.

This belt is not only strong, but maintains its shape and is completely customizable as far as the fit down to the half inch!! Every man should own one only a fool would buy two!
