ratchet / no hole / nexbelt

**zguy** · 24-04-2018, 15:30

I am in the market for a decent carry / EDC belt.
Looking for a leather belt to start off with because i dress smart casual 5 days a week, so need to get a belt that doesnt scream tactical.

I'm also in the process of trying to lose my beer gut.

I've looked on the internet and see there are belts that will provide the following for me
1. Look somewhat professional and understated.
2. allow me to cut off a length of the belt and reattach the buckle as the gut gets smaller. I do not want to stab new buckle holes in my belt to make it fit.

Nexbelt / Mission Belt / Anderson / Kore belt all have the above im looking at.
I have only found one place locally that has one of these belts, and at R900, i would like to see another brand or other stores that i can compare to.

Im not saying i dont want to pay for a decent belt. But on the other hand, I dont want to pay top dollar for something for no reason either.

If it makes any difference, i place to carry IWB / AIWB. And its for a compact polymer handgun.

Try a Ross Dress belt. Very good for that corporate look.

Looper from Hailstorm, but I THINK it's going to set you back more than R900? I'm also in the market for a new EDC belt.

Both are good options, but I believe the buckles are fixed and the belt length is not adjustable?

Yes. which makes your option of interest for me. Care to share where one can source it?

Hailstorm has a Nexbelt, I think it's called a defender

Is the velcro going to last a few years?
They look pretty good

Used mine now for about a year probably. Very happy with it. The only thing is it works better with pants that have
the two front belt loops(Next to your fly) further apart, rather than closer. You can of course put the velcro over the loops if they are in the way.

The fact that you can loosen or tighten the belt in any increment is cool.
