Review: Daltech Force Super BioBelt Gun Belt

[MCgrease08]

Mine made it 4 to 5 years as my daily belt. A couple of months ago it literally broke in half were the belt looped over the buckle. I tossed it in the trash and bought a belt from JM Tactical. Hopefully it holds up better.

Hopefully it holds up better than something you used daily for 4-5 years?

It's a $50 belt. How long did you expect it to last?

Let's assume you wore it four days a week for four years. That's 832 uses. If you wore it for five years, that goes up to more than 1,000 uses. That puts your cost per use somewhere around five-six cents per day.

I'm not trying to pick on you specifically, but some of y'all have really grand expectations. Everything fails eventually.

How was I complaining? I wasn't bashing the product at all. I wore the **** out of it. Sure, I was a bit bummed when it broke suddenly ... after I lost a lot of weight mind you so pressure on the belt was decreased (LOL) ... but it lasted 4-5 years. I was simply stating that it broke. I bought a new, different, more expensive belt to replace it ... I said ... hopefully it lasts longer ... nothing more nothing less. It is hilarious how everyone is always wanting to read more into everything.

Here is the deal ... I know Mr. Dallas, the owner of Daltech. His office is about a 15 minute drive from my house. I bought the belt directly from him personally. I handed him cash and he handed me the belt ... no internet sale b.s. If I had an issue with his products or their quality I would have reached out to him directly. I have no issue with his products at all.

I had been wanting a JM Tactical holster, so when my belt broke and I was shopping or a new belt, I thought why not order a holster and belt from JM to try them out. A lot of money spent and so far I am very happy with both products.

Please stop trying to read too much into every person's posts ...

Fair enough. Apologies if it came off as harsh.

Mine has been going 5 years strong as my daily belt. No sign of stopping so far.

Please let us know your experience.

Based on what I have read here and elsewhere, I would guess it will be positive.

Going to do that later today, I’ll report back.

I’ve had my bio belt for almost two years and the keeper just fell off, looks like it rusted at the staple in the middle of the belt

You can get new keepers on their website: https://www.daltechforce.com/collections/buckles-and-hardware

I finally did follow up on my split BioBelt. This is the response I received (oddly enough, I never asked for a free one, just made a general warranty inquiry). I personally have no problem with this level of customer service. As I stated earlier, filing a warranty claim is almost embarrassing considering the price and the amount of wear I got out of the belt. So as soon as I finish posting this, I’m going to order a new one!

“Thanks so much for being a great customer. The original warranty expired when the company acquired new owners a few years ago. The best we can do is give you a discount code to order a new one online. Same great belt and materials! Use the discount code *** for a 15% off your purchase. Sorry we can't give you a free one at this time. Thanks again!”

Note: I had to re-register my same email address at the website, so I knew something had changed on the back end.

I hate buying something with a lifetime warranty that doesn't turn out to be a lifetime warranty though.

Sometimes companies “acquire new owners”

Sometimes companies acquire new owners

I know and I can still be disgruntled.

 

[COOPADUP]

Hopefully the pricing and quality remains under new ownership. I'm a huge fan of the bio belt and will remain a loyal customer as long as they continue selling high quality accessories.

I bought mine in early 2014 and the price was $42. Same belt today is only $48. Hard to complain about getting eight years of daily use, and I mean every day, at that price.

 

[tbhausen]

…and the discount code they sent me is invalid… grrr…

 

[cg21]

I would think as the new owners you would also be buying all the lifetime warranties of said company you’re buying

They did correct this promptly.
