| I am getting my first belt for carrying and have decided the get the Wilderness Instructors belt. There are two different ones the original and the easy fit instructors belt. From what I can tell they are the same thing just he easy fit fits a wider range of sizes. Can anybody tell me if they are the same or if one is better than the other? |

" The Easy-Fit Original Instructor Belt offers simplified sizing for those who do not carry a belt-mounted weapon and don't mind an extra length of belt tongue on their dominant side. Some competing belts achieve a wider, more generic sizing range just by adding more Velcro to the belt body. However, this makes you pull Velcro through the buckle at the smaller size. We didn't like that and engineered ours to avoid it.
Available in Small, Medium, Large, XL, XXL, 3X-15X, the Easy-Fit Instructor Belt still has all of the quality features of the standard version, such as double-layer construction and heavy-duty sewing. The Easy-Fit system also makes sizing for gifts much easier. Here are examples of our Easy-Fit compared to the standard, fitted Instructor Belt: Standard Instructor Belt properly fitted • 38" size: 36" - 39.5" range of adjustment • 11" of tongue (at the min. length) / 9" of tongue (when properly fitted) • 3.5" of adjustment range Easy-Fit • Large: 36" - 41" range of adjustment • 13" of tongue (at min. length) / 10" of tongue (at the median when properly fitted) • 5" of adjustment range" |
