The first person I heard of doing that, I thought they were crazy. But ever since I got my Nexbelt(s), I've gotten use to doing it also. |

| +1 as a person who alternates his belt direction. Also, I rotate belts like I rotate shoes.

I've had that happen with cheaper belts but never with a quality gun belt. I typically wear a 1.75 wilderness belt and it's very ridged. I've never used the belt you linked to but would bet money it'll do the same thing since it's a single layer leather. For that kind of money I would find a double layer sewn leather belt like what thebeltman makes |

| Now I've got a cart with a $100 belt sitting in it. Mulling it over, never spent more than $20-30 on a belt & usually have them last 5-7 years.

Thanks. That’s why I’m balking at dropping a lot of loot on one. |

| I can tell you that Hank’s belt won’t hold a candle to Beltman or Ryan Grizzle. Beltran will even do a kydex reinforced belt. A custom belt like Beltman & RGrizzle is double layer leather (shoulder hide which is the best hide for leather belts), glued and stitched and is 5 times the belt of any single layer belt. |
