This belt meets all expectations! I am very happy with this purchase! But, it didn't start out that way. I received my new Grip 6 belt with high expectations. I wore the belt for several days and it just wouldn't hold. I kept having to retighten and retighten it. I had pretty well given up on it after the first week. About a week later I received an email from Grip6 customer service asking how I was enjoying my new belt and if I had any questions. First of all, that is brilliant customer service! 👍🏼 Thank you! I then explained my problem with the belt to the rep and he replied with a polite response and offered an illustration of how to properly cinch the belt. I figured I might as well look it over. I am a smart guy who usually reads directions but, this is a belt. How hard could it be to figure out? It wasn't hard at all! I was just doing it wrong! Lol! After following the illustration I realized I wasn't threading it correctly. Problem solved! It's been a few months since and I wear the belt nearly every day. It works great! It's thin, light weight, holds tight and looks good doing it! Everything I need and nothing I don't. It may seem a little silly but, I enjoy putting it on every morning. Each morning I am reminded of what a great purchase it was. It's the little things. I am also reminded of the value of reading directions. Haha! Great work Grip6 team! I am a customer 4 life! I just want to add that I went swimming in salt water with my Grip6 belt on for the first time the other day. I was worried that might cause an issue with it somehow but, I just rinsed it in the shower when I got home and it hasn't missed a beat. It dried over night no problem and still looks and works great! Read more
I must admit I was skeptical, but when it arrived I thought it to be a good value. I'm a 36-37 waist. All my pants are 36. I ordered the 38, just to be sure. It's a little long, but not too much. The design of the belt keeps the tail webbing tucked securely behind the front webbing. I may trim it a bit and flame seal it, but I don't really see a need to do that for now. If you are concerned about the size, go for the larger size. You can always cut it down, but not vice versa. As for some of the questions about it being a good gun belt. It is 1.5 inches wide, but not a rigid as a true gun belt like the nylon ones with extra stitching and stiffening material. Having said that I find it works perfectly with my Glock 43 in a TT snap-off OWB pancake holster if I cinch it up. It is very comfortable and secure. Granted, that is a lightweight rig. I haven't tried it with my Colt 1911 in a similar holster, but I think it will do just fine. I would recommend a holster with 1.5 inch loops, and not any larger so the holster stays positioned. It probably wouldn't do well as a duty belt, or carrying a heavy hunting magnum, but for concealed carry it's fine for me and all day wear, especially in the summer. Not as hot or as uncomfortable as a leather belt. If you prefer an Inside-The-Waistband carry, you definitely want to go with a longer belt. That buckle system will not slip. As for some of the complaints about how the buckle works, it's pretty easy. If you have a problem, just check out the YouTube videos. However I wouldn't admit to your friends you had to watch a video to figure out how to put your belt on and off ;-) Highly recommended; comes with a great guarantee. Read more
This is a great belt, I purchased two belts many years ago and they are just now starting to show wear. They hold up well, flat profile, and have good buckle hold. I'm trying to reorder a 1" ("narrow") belt, and it appears that Amazon only offers the "Standard" width of 1.5" - thought I had ordered 1" but that not what I received, and returned it. Can't locate 1" width at all in Grip6. Wish they offered 1" width on Amazon! Read more
I guess the commies have been writing bad reviews for this item. It looks great. It works great. It holds your pants up great. OUTSTANDING! The belt strap itself is heavy duty. The whole system is light weight. The buckle won’t malfunction because there are no moving parts. It is a little backwards when putting the strap through but all in all it’s very easy. Taking it off is just as easy. I have mild carpal tunnel in both hands and I can put it on and take it off with no problems. I ordered two straps and one buckle. They will be forever my pant holder uppers. What I really like about this belt system, is that you can adjust it according to your eating habits, pant preference, and you can make it as tight or loose as you want it. The buckle doesn’t stick out a mile either. Thanks for an outstanding simple product Read more
I am at work today and was recommending this belt to someone. He was wearing another type of belt that I had tried out and didn’t like so I was telling him about the Grip6. I realized I should also write a review since that was the case. I’ve tried a lot of other belts. First, belts with holes are only adjustable so much. Other belts either have a higher profile that will scratch whatever you lean against, and they will often slip. This belt is ingenious and so simple at the same time. The first time I tried it on I was doubtful that it wouldn’t slip. There just didn’t seem to be anything that would really hold it tight. But it has never slipped on me, ever. And it has such a nice slim profile. Simple, effective, and adjustable at any time to wherever you might need it. I now have three of these. One for work, one for dressier occasions, and one for hiking. And the one for hiking, if it gets dirty, it’s the easiest thing to clean off. These are the best belts you are ever going to find!
