Need a new belt...

[Glock 'em down]

Well, the time has come. I need a new belt.

I have worn instructor belts by Wilderness for the last 12 years. I have a Looper leather kydex reinforced belt that I wear when a dressy belt is required, but for EDC and on duty wear, I prefer a nylon instructor type belt.

Now then...two Wilderness belts in 12+ years, I would say is a purdy good belt. However, I recently discovered a company called SOE (www.originalsoegear.com) and they have a rigger's belt that looks purdy good.

I just wonder if it will hold my duty gear (Galco Fletch holster and mag/cuff pouch) without sagging. The Wilderness handles this task flawlessly, but I always get the CSM model that has a polymer liner. The SOE belt doesn't say anything about any kind of liner/stiffener.

Does anybody out there own both and can give me their honest opinion?

Can't help with those but I have one of these and it's pretty damn stout. It's only $27 on Amazon. Yes it's polymer reinforced...

I had an Uncle Mike's back in the day. And it was a good belt.

However...it is 1.5 inches wide and I need a 1.75 inch wide belt, so my holster and other accessories don't slide around too much.

I've wore a Daltech bull hide belt for the last 4 years. Top quality, heavy duty, and I couldn't be happier.

You can get it made in 1.75" width too, for an extra $4.99.
RUGER10 promo code should work for an extra 10% off.

Alien gear makes a nice belt similar to what Looper used to make.
