GRIP6 Belts for Men & Women- Nylon Belt- Fully Adjustable Web Belt & Belt Buckle

I read a lot of questions and answers about conceal carry with this belt and most of the answers were negative, but I decided to try anyways. I bought this belt specifically for carrying a pistol and I learned that if you clip your holster to the side with the tail then it doubles the belt and works perfectly. Since this belts tail goes behind the buckle, you can put it on left to right or right to left and it will look the same either way. Now for the quality of the belt itself. Super lightweight. Doesnt loosen throughout the day, (when properly put on) and the buckle isnt digging into my stomach which is very nice. I will definitely be buying more to have different colors.

So far so good, its a very comfortable belt. Update: less then 3 months later the little pastic bit that holds the belt together has begun to tear off.

I own 2 straps and 5 buckle colors, therefore I have 20 belts. Yeah, I know that 2*5 = 10, but you can also reverse the strap. One side generally has the highlight stitching, the other has muted stitching (not sure if thats true on all straps, but it is on both of mine.) I bought a simple one as a trial and loved it so much that over the next 2 months I bought another strap and 4 more buckles. What I love: * The look. I love being able to throw in a splash of color (i.e. I wore a green buckle on St. Patricks Day) but also being able to play it down if Im feeling more introverted that day * The function. In an office setting I rarely have to adjust. They claim that these dont slip, and MOSTLY they dont, but I dont find Im re-tightening a couple times per day. In an active setting, like throwing the football around last weekend it didnt keep up nearly as well. * Works with my jeans or my suit (unless you are my mom, she didnt think it was "suit worthy") * No holes! Sometimes Im bigger than other times. This belt ALWAYS fits. Theres no oscillating between holes depending on time of day or what I ate for lunch, it just always fits. What I dont love as much * Even though they say it wont slip, it does a little bit, but only when Im more active. For instance, I havent touched it in 5 hours and its still just fine here at work. * ... yeah, thats about it.

Most belts are adjusted from the outside of the belt by pulling the end to either the right hole, or if using friction or a clasp, but pulling to the right tightness around the waist and clamping the buckle and belt in place. This belt has the end fed through the slit behind the buckle, feeding the end of the belt behind the belt through the belt loop. As such, adjusting the belt after youve walked awhile, or ridden in the car and get out and need to adjust the belt, is not easy. The friction is from the belt through the slit behind the buckle, so to adjust higher or more loose you have to pull the buckle away from your body with one hand while moving the belt in an angular fashion feeding more in or pulling some out in order to adjust. To anyone watching it may look like youre wrestling something around your waist - it isnt graceful to adjust after you first pull on your pants and set the belt. Light weight for sure, no moving parts, just not easy to adjust - my guess is the more you suffer from dunlop disease - your belly dun lopped over your belt - the more difficult it would be to adjust. Flat stomach means more easily pulled away from the body to get that slack to adjust it. Bigger stomach...not so easy. Simple concept, works well, just not easy to adjust after the initial set.

I want to like this belt, I really do and I cant say I hate it, but its like the high school girlfriend you never really get passionate about, but keep dating her because its easy to do. The Grip 6 belt is such a good idea since it has no moving parts and is an excellent choice for jeans and casual wear. The modular choices of belt and buckle colors really lend itself to a one-system solution. When I wear it with jeans, I think its a sharp looking belt and basically does the job. My problem with the Grip 6 belt is that as a friction belt, it pretty much only adjusts to that certin diameter that "just does" the job. I normally like a little snugger belt, and one would think you could make it tighter with a good pull, but at some point the friction dynamic works against getting it any snugger. Also, like virtually all belts Ive ever owned (saved for my US Army issue), the belt itself develops an imprint or "bend" right at the most common friction point which again, makes getting the belt more snug a challenge. For some fair information, Im definitely not at my Army weight any more and have the typical spare tire most of us midwest American men develop. But, I still have a waistline and dont require suspenders. Do I want a refund? No. Will I stop wearing it? No. Will I buy another? Probably not.
