I'll keep this brief. No shilling just sharing some good shit.
I have been looking to replace my Wilderness Frequent Flyer belt that I've been using for appx 8 years. I knew I wanted a more traditional EDC belt this time around and came across a post by another team member who had posted a link to SET here a while back.
After checking out their web site and seeing the materials and build quality in the pics I decided to order. I also had a small custom requirement for my belt that SET was happy to provide. Everything went smooth. Order time and shipping was just as advertised.

The belt is fantastic. Better than my Wilderness even. Stiffness and sizing is perfect. The stitching is hardcore and the materials are solid.
I will be ordering one of the SET Battle Belts once I get the money together to begin buying and setting that up. I recommend checking out their battle belt if your in the market...I came across a really good YouTube video that shows how SET does their battle belts. It's genius really.

When my package came in it was obvious lol.


Everything was packaged up very nicely and was individually wrapped in a few feet of paracord. I didn't get any pics of the actual unboxing(I know, fail). I also didn't get pics of the swag but, yes, there is indeed SWAG!!!

I had to order a shirt also. I couldn't resist I give my friends shit and tell them almost this exact thing regularly LOL


Anyway, on to the belt. I'll mostly let the pics do the talking. Look at that melt. I like the shape of the tail. Makes it easy to feed through belt loops.


Look at that stitching. Would you just look at it. This is the back side of the belt. I just wanted to show how this thing is built.


Swag patch I stuck on the outer Velcro for pics. I had Velcro added to my belt. That is an option on the website. He actually uses a small belt keeper type of thing normally but I have my own personal reasons for wanting it Velcro lined and also needed the tail to Velcro down flat and stay put. I'm sure he can probably build you a belt however you wanted it. SET responded to my questions about what I wanted/needed very quickly btw.



Here it is in use. I honestly feel like it supports my pistol better than my wilderness and I haven't quite figured out why yet. It just does. I've been using it for 3-4 solid days now and noticed it majorly last night while out shopping with the GF. I love this thing already.


I'll add some stuff later probably. Slightly a work in progress. I already typed up this entire review once and lost it because I'm an idiot and close out Safari on the iPad while in the middle of posing up pics lol.

ETA- of course I fucking forgot to take a pic of the entire belt I'll try to get one up this afternoon.
And here is a hot link for you guys Snake Eater Tactical. I think they also win the tactical name game

I do like that melt...the ends of your belts always end up getting messed up from the buckle.

On the web site it's called the Cobra Riggers belt. I ordered the version with the western stitch. They also have a diamond pattern stitch.

What's your jean size, and what size belt did you end up going with?
Wish these went by actual jean size.

Also what holster is that?

My actual pant size was several inches smaller. The size you order will end up being larger than your actual size. I noticed on his FB page that he just last week uploaded a YouTube video showing exactly how to size. I would just YouTube snake eater tactical.

That Holster is an older X-fer by Armordillo Concealment. I swapped out soft loops. Apparently the latest versions are much better or use better kydex.

ETA- I'm going to attempt a video embed here lol ETA2- SUCCESS!


Some other cool videos of his gear. Check out the battle belt one.

Yep. That's the one. Honestly all the gear looks badass. I know for a fact I'm going to order the battle belt and dump pouch before spring.

So the tail end comes with velcro to hold it down?

Honestly, I love my Ares belts, but I feel the velcro would have been nice. Sometimes the belt will loosen up a bit from bending and what not.

I did a huge review on here about a year and a half ago on his belts. Still wearing it and just ordered another (different color). My original belt shows zero wear and still looks brand new (I wear it daily).

SET is quality kit and the owner is a stand up guy.

I use his burro pouches for Edc . They hold a 17 or 23 round m&p mag good, pretty snug on multi tools too.

A set belt is on my want list, currently using a ares gear belt.

The tail Velcro is an option but doesn't normally come on it I don't think, he has a keeper that actually looks good but I need that Velcro myself.
