Grip 6 belts?
Have you guys seen these or own these belts?
Seems like a pretty cool idea and looks slick https://grip6.com/collections/all-mens#menu |

Avoid them. I had 2; gave them away. Do what they are supposed to, but there are better options. My biggest complaint about the Grip 6 belts is tightening/loosening them. Ergonomically, not a great design. Wait until you are in a situation where you need to get that belt unfastened with haste, not a good time. Anson Belts are a way better option in my opinion. I rock the canvas belts. I have one in black, gray, white, green and a concealed carry belt that I use when doing work that requires a tool pouch. Anson also has a lifetime guarantee.

For my 50th I bought myself a new daily carry piece and my GF found me a nice IWB holster for it. A buddy of mine got me one of the Kore EDC belts to go with it. I looked at it and thanked him and thought I would never wear it because it felt heavy and stiff. Luckily while bored one evening I dug it out and fitted it and then wore it one day to test it out. I have worn it 99% of the time since then. I absolutely love this belt. Infinitely adjustable and light as a feather once locked on. For carry it does as it claims - zero sag - like none. But I wear it anyway because I just love it. Eat too much lunch?? "click" open it up a 1/8th. Take your piece out and lock it in the car? Few clicks and perfect fit without the IWB. I go untucked 98% of the time, so I don't care what it looks like, but function wise it is perfect. Obviously not for everyone though. https://www.koreessentials.com/

I can assure you though, one situation tends to be merely frustrating. The other has a bit more urgency in getting that godforsaken bear trap of of a harness dislodged from the waist. One situation can be kinda funny and turned into a sexy little dance while disrobing.....the other causes vulgarity to flow from ones mouth with the force of class 5 rapids. Quote:
Oh dear. No offense sir, but those things are terrible. Nothing screams I'm trying too hard than a Gucci belt. Gucci belts tend to take you from being respected for being classy, to people making fun of you. Gucci belts are for people trying to be too extra. |

Don't forget about those of us packing scandium. I normally run a Filson but that Kore looks good. |

I have to wear one. To get into any pants that "fit" my legs...it usually means that I'm buying a pair where the waist is about 4" larger than it needs to be.

I would not have bought one for myself. A buddy of mine won one at a match and loved it and wears it even when he is not packing. Now I plan to have a few of them. I never thought a belt that felt this heavy and stiff could be so comfortable to wear. I never have to "hitch" it - even when packing. I wear it almost every day now. Not super fashionable, but like I said - I wear untucked anyway and the function is flawless.

There exists a magician called "Tailor" that can fix that for you if your heart so desires.

I have similar issues as you do so I get all of my jeans tailored as well. Heck, I have a few pair of sweat pants that have been tailored
