Sounds like you’re trying to shove too much crap in too small of a container. Try to cut it down some. Maybe look at a backpack for the NVGs and other stuff.

Sorry if I made the OP confusing. I don't intend to hang my NV on the carrier or the belt. Simply, once I got my first carrier, I was surprised how small it was. So, a belt seemed like the logical progression for the other items listed. I likely misrepresented my intentions in the OP. NVG notwithstanding, I felt I was trying to add too much to the carrier with IFAK, knife, rifle mags, pistol mags, chest holster.....it was getting stupid. Hence, a belt. |

Steve pointed you in the proper direction.
You are on the right track. Hope your crye belt comes really soon - their wait times are, um, sometimes really long. What plates did you get? What carrier? I’d put the ifak, roscoe, and roscoe mags on the belt along with the knife (if you need it). Add a rifle mag and rolled up dump pouch too if you like. NODs in the ruck with helmet, other crap, and poggie bait. TQ and extra bandage on the carrier. Any comms (radio)? Post some pics man!! |

My carrier is just a Spartan IV+ "Active Shooter" deal. I wanted a light/mobile deal, and I suppose that's what I got. I can run and shoot well in it. Not sure I believe the "IV+" rating as I'm pretty sure that dosent actually exist. Otherwise its, PVS-7 Gen3, OTAL-C, Wilcox parts on a bump helmet. USPTac + White mags, Gerber Strongarm. Larue Rifle with a Vortex 1-8 lpvo. |

BAE Systems Assault belt. It's wide, padded, highly adjustable one piece rig. You don't have to worry about sizing precisely; the adjustment is there. Got mine for 35 or 40 bucks new.

I have the HSGI Suregrip
It can be worn with or without suspenders, the suspenders definitely help when it’s fully loaded I can’t speak for other buckle types but I can tell you the Cobra buckle on the HSGI works very well |

Yes you can put your empties in the dump
You can also put your partials in there should you perform a tactical reload |

Keep it simple and light. You have to be halfway in shape and know how to distribute the weight. I do 3 rifle mags on the belt, and 4 on the pc. The only other things I have on the PC equipment wise is a compass, fire starter, pen and note pad in the built in admin pouch. Up to 3L water on the back. |

For its lack of size and weight, it's dumb to *not* carry a dump pouch.

Also, belt (with profession twisted gear aside) should be "make holes" (pistol, pistol mags, maybe a rifle speed load) and patch holes (TQ, slim blow out kit).
If you need suspenders on a big padded belt you're probably overloaded. Carrier is best left to armor, mags, radio (if needed), maybe a slim IFAK. Minimal "admin gear" is really needed. Small single output light on your belt or clipped in a pocket. Same with a folding knife. Most things can be shoved into a backpack. If you think you might need it, you probably don't. |

Suspenders make it a lot easier to take a leak, open the buckle and let the belt hang
No need to take the belt off and put it down somewhere |

Good bump, Smart-Alleck Crye isn't exactly a big secret I've read exactly those questions dozens of times a month in that forum, in those threads. As for the dump pouch, on the range they're great for retaining empty mags, loose rounds, pens/markers, stickers. Off the range, all sorts of stuff. I clip mine to my belt loop hanging below my belt. But I don't think you can do that with a large padded belt. ETA: 2-piece inner/outer belt systems are king right now. |

Funny this popped up, I watched too many youtube videos last night on pouches and belts and finally decided on the G-Code operator belt.
I was between Kywi mag carriers and the G-Code scorpion mag carriers. The Kywi mag carriers, while looking cooler IMO, are less universal...IE, the ar15 version doesn't take AK mags, pistol pouches take single or double stack but not both, and the scorpion pouches, while having reportedly better retention than the HSGI taco are quickly adjustable. You can adjust the Kywi retention inserts however it requires a heat gun. and...furthermore those scorpion pouches with the G-Code specific clips, have less wiggle on the g-code belt as opposed to the runner up belt I was looking at which was the Blue Alpha Gear. G-code belt offers a hook/loop padded inner belt or a non padded inner belt which goes through your belt loops. I currently have a set of Blue Force Gear suspenders I suppose I should be able to fashion to the G-Code belt if needed. |
