    The only belts I wear anymore, survives a steel mill daily and carry. Best customer service in the industry IMHO, placed an order after loosing some weight and the owner emailed me to make sure I was getting the correct size due to the change from my last order. Cannot recommend them enough

    I really like my Kore but not for AIWB. I was really looking forward to this tier 1 belt when they announced it until I saw the price.

    I can’t comment on appendix carry I’ve attempted it quite a few times and never feels good.

    I rely on Wilderness Tactical belts. I get mine with the extra stitching to give them added stiffness. Got one that is like ten years old and it's still a great belt. My others I bought because of color, or because I got fat

    I second beltman and have three only because of different widths and colors. I have worn Wilderness for a long time but their velcro wears out and they do not replace them anymore. They only give partial credit for a new belt.

    I have the ratchet Nexbelt. Very stiff and the micro adjustments are a HUGE plus
    Purchased one of these at the NRA convention. Only 3 days wearing it so far but am definitely loving it.

    Versacarry makes a really good double stitched leather belt as well. I wear that on weekends but after a couple years it still looks and carries like new

    I got a Nexbelt too! My buddy gave me the whole "marketing works on you" but hey if they send you a coupon and ship it to your door for $30, that's a deal you can't miss.

    same. Its all good until I sit down or try to bend at the waist.
    More than likely it's because your belt/gun is riding too low. With appendix the gun and belt have to ride a tad higher. It keeps the muzzle from digging in when bending over or taking a seated position. Having it ride an inch higher makes all the difference.

    I'd like to support the Daltech since an Indiana company and all. But I'm looking hard at the nexbelt for its adjustable ratchet.
    If Daltech ever comes out with a non-hole type buckle I'll bite.

    My waistline varies by more than 1/2" during the week and likely more in summer. As it is I have drilled a couple closer holes in my normal dress belt to accommodate my fluctuation.

    I have 2 kore belts. Wear them all the time and my LGS has them in stock. Also have 2 crossbreed belts I got cheap at crossbreed seconds. They are traditional belts with holes but have held up really well. May try nexbelt if these ever wear out.

    I use bigfoot gunbelts. Leather belt with a steel core lining. Holding up great after a few years of use. Great customer service (only used due to picking the wrong size the first time).

    Another Nexbelt user here. I initially got one because I never seem to fit the holes just right on any belt. Bought a Titan and used it for a year just to try them out. I now own 4 and they are the only belts I wear anymore. For dress, casual work and EDC I'm not ashamed to admit I'm a fan.
