Any recommendations for a rather inexpensive made in the US but not crappy cheap either chest panel with harness and adjustable, that I can add my own pouches to?

The AO chest rig?
Thanks, I'm hoping that's what you had meant, ordered. Last night I had noticed that I had lost weight, and panicked. Great being less of a fatty but now my belt can't be be any more adjusted to get smaller and for all intents and purposes a heavy hula hoop, so long story short I ordered a smaller belt (also HSGI) and no longer had the funds for a good chest rig. My class is in a month and I do not want to carry all six magazines plus three pistol mags and a secondary all on one belt for five days straight

I just finished switching my belt from Glock to 2011, so obviously needed to switch holsters, mag pouches, etc. I figured I would try onewrap over my esstac clips. So far I really like it. Position them exactly where I want and they also are not taking away velcro contact. |

I think a $225 belt is crazy stupid. There only so many ways to make a belt and with only so many choices of material.
I still think the best bang for the buck going is the Belts that AWS makes. (Makes them for Ronin as well) There reaches a point of diminishing returns where you're just paying more then is needed to obtain a good quality belt. Just my $.02 |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By S-1: What do you guys think of GBRS Groups belt? HERE It was designed by them and is made by LBT. That is pretty steep. I do think it falls under the 'hypebeast' stuff. Not trashing them, the hypebeast mentality comes from the younger generation. I am with whiskers. I have 3 esstac belts. All of them use one wrap which lets you put a pouch exactly where you want without the loss of velcro contact. I have a one wrap thread in the tac gear forum. Nothing special, but maybe read some accounts and see the few pictures in there to help you make a decision on which route to go. To me, the price of that belt alone, could make a whole belt setup. Belt, Kywi's, holster, and dump pouch. That is just my opinion as I am not made of money! ETA: I would like to add that is does look good. So does the Bison by Ferro. I think this tigris material is worth looking into. The exposed tigris does look tacticool. Does tigris make a belt worth over 200 bucks? That is not for me to say. I dont know about their customer service (prob fine) but I do know first hand that no one touches Esstac on CS. I talk to Dan so much at this point, that I shoot him pictures of range trips and LARPING pics just because he treats the wife and I as friends rather than customers. Ryan is always active on the boards and will give good advice and make any problem right. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By S-1: What do you guys think of GBRS Groups belt? HERE It was designed by them and is made by LBT. Not saying anything is wrong with it, but I don't see $255 worth. You can get a Blue Alpha double Molle belt wit upgraded inner belt for $150 Esstac double pistol and 2 single rifle pouches for about $80ish Both of these companies have a solid reputation and plenty of people in these threads run the shit out of them. You can get that and a roll of Velcro One wrap for under $255 Or whatever your flavor, doesn't have to be those, but the pouches DO have to be Esstac  Unless there is something I'm missing, I just don't see paying that much. Good luck and let us know what you go with...and post pics  |

GBRS Group is made up of former DEVGRU operators. That's "worth" at least $50 right off the bat. The way they differentiate (somewhat - Eagle does the same thing) is to put the hook side of the Velcro facing outwards on the inner belt. Reasoning is that it is less irritating should you not don the outer belt perfectly and have a multi-hour infil where you are sardined into a UH-60. The other "value add" is that it is sold as a 3 piece system. Inner belt, inner belt cover and outer belt.

I want to take a stab at a belt. I’m taking my first car one and pistol course in October. The below pouches are what I randomly have on hand, and also have rifle mag pouches that match the green plastic pistol pouch on the right. This stuff usable? What belt, holster, and holster attachment would be recommended? I don’t necessarily care about patterns matching.
Also, I need to set the belt up for LH long gun and RH pistol. A summing I need to put the rifle mags on the right side with the pistol holster. Looked through several pages and couldn’t find a pic of such a setup. Any ideas how I pull that off without either being in the way of the other, including sitting?  Attached File |

That velcro setup is how Eagle does it. There's technical reasons for it not just comfort. Putting hook on the inner belt spreads the hooks open allowing it to grab the loop of the outer belt better. If it was reversed, the hooks would collapse and hold less secure. Loop on the outer belt reduces abrasion to dry suits and CBRNE suits compared to hook. From a design standpoint its better. Just sucks when you're not wearing the outer belt. |

There is a horizontal KIWI pouch that may be useful. https://esstac.com/horizontal-single-kywi-midlength/ Also, don't forget medical on your belt

Use One wrap to attach the pouches to the belt. It can be bought at home depot. Holster is personal preference. I like Trex ragnaroks, just a simple kydex holster. A ton of people like Safariland ALS. As far as attaching the holster to the belt, I use a Safariland UBL. I use the QLS system, but that is because I shoot with 3 different guns. If you only have one, just attach the holster to the UBL. |

So, let me get this straight... you want the scratchy Velcro always exposed to your arms/shirts for roughly 75% of the time when you don’t have your overbelt on just to mitigate the circumstance that you would put your over belt on incorrectly, causing the scratchy Velcro to touch your skin? Seems like that problem is easily solved by just putting your gun belt on correctly. Just because your different doesn’t mean you are useful |

The hook on the Eagle inner is pretty low profile. It may catch fabric, but it’s not scratching arms or hands. And it’s excellent for grabbing loop, of course.

You're not the only one, you don't even want to know what Berry complaint 500d, velcro, and webbing costs if your not buying 10k yards at a time for the price break. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TSU45: @gurthy Do I need the "inner Velcro belt" with the shooters belt? @TSU45 Not necessarily, but it will stay put much better and be more comfortable. The inner belt is included when you buy the outer belt so no additional cost. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Harv24: I think a $225 belt is crazy stupid. There only so many ways to make a belt and with only so many choices of material. I still think the best bang for the buck going is the Belts that AWS makes. (Makes them for Ronin as well) There reaches a point of diminishing returns where you're just paying more then is needed to obtain a good quality belt. Just my $.02 This guy gets it.  Nothing on this belt is going to shift or bounce, I save my one wrap for showing slings.. |

Can you walk us through your rationale for the way you laid your belt out? |

Is that a molle sheath around the outer belt? Med kit is oversized(cool factor for Larue, but you dont need a small backpack on the belt). Pistol mags usually go in front of rifle mags.
Is your waist a size 14? I am more confused on how those molle panels are attached. You could rip those off and use one wrap and cut down on the clutter. Or invest in some esstac Kywi's and still clean it up more. Not saying you need to spend 255 on a belt brother, but some updating with 9 dollar one wrap directly to the outer belt instead of those molle panels (if they are removable) would be a great start. ETA: Saving one wrap for slings??? Bruh, it is 9 bucks at home depot and comes in a 5 or 6 ft strip. I have done 3 belts and still have half a roll left. |

I'm a size 30 and you run out of room fast. The molle panels Velcro to both the inner and outer belt, so the outer could be stand alone if desired. Yes on the one wrap.

The molle are individual panels.
 I'll try the pistol mags up, I've just never done it that way... |
