Quote HistoryQuoted: https://tacticon.com/product/battle-belt-buildout/ Add a HSGI inner padded belt if you want a better inner and you would be in for about 70 bucks. https://www.highspeedgear.com/95mg0-95mgl Or stick with the tacticon set up as is for 40 bucks.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4i5_a2jq2MThe taction seems too good to be true at that price point Anyone have any experience with it? Or is it just chicom? |

Keep in mind that the hook&loop orientation differs between brands, i.e. the inner belt being hook(hsgi) vs. loop(esstac) the same goes for pouches but that can be remedied easily.

Quoted: I need one! I normally just use a crossbreed leather belt for my edc stuff but what go you recommend to carry stuff for like training and competition? My battle belt is my EDC. Lessons learned from the summer of love. I wanted to be able to find a way to have most of the gear on my plate carrier available concealed where I would avoid attention from the media, antifa types, and other enemies. I went with a mastermind belt because I needed a non magnetic belt, but my riggers belts would work too. My EDC already had a knife and flashlight in my pockets. Pistol and mags are appendix carry. I can run three AR magazines, one at 9:30 and two in my back pockets. Add one in the carbine and its a decent amount of ammo. I have a soft pouch that rides IWB at 6:00 for a small IFAK. Due to its location I just keep soft items like chest seals, an Olaes bandage (because it has both gauze to pack wounds and a pressure dressing), and gloves. A tourniquet or two is carried running down the leg of my pants with the windlass preventing it from slipping down. All that remains is to toss on a slick plate carrier under a button down shirt for my armor. I never saw a reason to have a war belt out in the open. If I didnt care about the signature I would just use a plate carrier for my armor and to hold my gear. I do this with another PC for what I think I need to protect my home. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The taction seems too good to be true at that price point Anyone have any experience with it? Or is it just chicom? I have one. It's good for seeing if the concept works for you and for range use. Comfortable enough. It's not as stiff as the aws belt nor is the buckle as sturdy. The molle looks cool but doesn't really feel as sturdy as I'd like using it and just prefer using it with belt attachments. Spent about half an hour going over it to singe loose threads and stuff and the velcro on it is backwards from most all other belts. But a padded belt for 40 bucks.... It isn't as easily adjustable as my aws either so it is relegated to just range use. I'm not against cheap gear if I'm just trying to test out a concept to see if something works for me. And this works well enough for a quarter of the cost of some gear. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You Esstac guys: How are you attaching? It looks like the belt has no molle. I understand that alternative attachments that go over the whole outside belt reduce the velcro engagement, especially problematic at points of load bearing. Thanks. +1 for esstac One wrap for adding mag pouches or through molle gear. It’s both sides Velcro so it sticks to the inner belt and holds tight to the outer belt. Large pouches like my dove hunting bags, I added sticky back Velcro to hold to both the outer and inner belts.   |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Thanks for the feedback. I have a HSG that I am really satisfied with. I am just looking for a inexpensive setup for exercising or sounds like its a good option I kinda feel bad slapping an expensive sarfariland on it but not really. Could spend a few bucks on a real cobra buckle for it and be fine. I'm too old and fucked up to be bugging out or the like. Just need something to keep up with practice and can slap on when need be. Since it sucks to adjust size I've designated it my summer belt just to go over street clothes. My aws belt I can adjust easier and further to go over winter clothes easier. It's a chunk of nylon. Yes there is (way) better gear but I don't need nor could utilize it anymore. Still better than my guns sitting in a box somewhere. |
