MNSIGNeedd a new belt...Tactical style?
I had been a Wilderness wearer for the last 15 years until I recently tried the Nexbelt EDC. I find it less bulky in the buckle area and generally nicer.

SapperSteelI like leather, not a fan of the nylon belts.
I've been very happy with Belt Man products. You'll find them here:

Thanks,

I need a new EDC belt. 1.5" would be fine.
Tactical especially that triangular buckle, limits your dress options. I'd think it would be too outdoorsy for dress slacks, or a coat & tie environment. I keep two all leather 1.5" belts handy, black and brown, of my own make. The buckles are dressy enough for any choice...and coincidentally will support a full size gun. They're in use every day!
YMMV, Rod

matthew03I just got the Ares Gear Aegis belt, love the old Boy Scouts type buckle, isn't as pokie as a Cobra Buckle, if you have some overhang/belly

TomkatI too have a couple of the Wilderness 5 stitch with polymer inserts (http://www.thewilderness.com/belts/original-instructor-belt/). I love them EXCEPT when threading them through belt loops and holster loops. This endeavor is a workout. However, once in place, they're (there or their for the morons) as solid of an option as there is.

bubbatimeMy SOE belt sits on a shelf unused... waste of money.
My favorite belt I’ve found yet...

Yanert98I bought an Ares Gear Aegis belt a few months ago. It's definitely my number one belt for EDC now.

SgtGoldI have three Wilderness belts. Unless you are carrying the weight of the world with you every day you don't need the fiberglass reinforced version. In have one that I use as a work belt and it's still over built for my radio and tools. It's going on ten years with no sign of needing a replacement. I also have a Beltman belt. I don't wear it much and with the way it's built it's unlikely to ever wear out.

NismoJust received my Mastermind Tactics "Specialist" belt.
Not bad for $34.(they are now $38)
https://www.mastermindtactics....hop-graith-edc-gear/Not as stiff as the Gcode or SOE, but stiff enough for appendix carry, and the buckle is super minimal.

gpbst3I just picked up a nexbelt.com and im pretty happy with it. It adjusts in 1/4 increments for when you have your fat days.
