If you like the Wilderness, you should try a Beltman.....even better.

 

I opened my package and was surprised at how light and thin it was from the onset - almost had some concern

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

 

Try one of these

 

I am by no means a rocket surgeon...

:rofl:

 

i wear the frequent flyer with the csm insert every day.

i also have a beltman super nice leather belt, but for edc i use the wilderness because i don't need something nice looking and the wilderness is very functional. I only use my beltman (velcro lined) for dress up occasions (rare) which require iwb covert dress.

 

I really don't care what people think of my belt.
I have owned a Wilderness for about 2 weeks now.
While it think it is a good belt, it is not the end all belt.

 

I purchased one, I like it a lot !

 

all weather belt too, compared to leather. thats the real advantage.

 

I have two Wilderness Instructor belts, a Beltman and a Looper.
I like them all,.......for different reasons.

 

I have a tan, 5-stitch original or whatever and I love it. I'm wanting to try a green one with the plastic insert too.

 

I recently purchased one as well.. I like it a lot so far.

Wouldn't mind getting a tan one too!

 

I agree that the instructor belt may not be what is considered light - but it is all about perspective. I tend to go with double layer leather belts with heavy duty buckle - so that does weigh a bit more than the instructor.

I still have my leather for formal events and for work (business casual) - but for cargos, jeans, and shorts this is my new favorite.

Let me ask you - has anyone had any issues with holster wear with the instructor belt? Any issues with metal clips rubbing thru or kydex causing to fray?

Thanks

No and no

No holster wear thats with leather and kydex and no fraying from either of my holsters one is a Tagua Leather with a metal clip(IWB and the other is a Crossbreed with the metal slips also belt and holsters all look fine.

 

The only weak point of their belts is the velcro.

Like all velcro, it's eventually going to go bad! I'm about to "rebuild" mine for the third time!

Except if you use the buckle correctly, you can continue to use the belt.

 

Who has the best price on Wilderness belts?

 

I don't think you can beat the Wilderness belts.I have 5 of them.

 

Pictures please............

 

I love mine cause when I eat a huge meal, like I so often do, I can adjust it out just a little bit instead of looking for another hole.


:whistling:

 

I have the 5-stitch Frequent Flyer belt from Wilderness. I wear it everyday. I even wear it at work. It’s still in good shape. I think I might buy a spare one though.

A guy at the gun show told me if you send in the buckle, Wilderness will reuse it and it will save the buyer $10.00. I think I might have to check into that.:dunno:

 

Those looking for a cheap alternative to Wilderness can look at the Cabela's heavy duty last chance belt for $25 (do NOT get the light duty, its way too cheap). The Cabela's belt is made by Bison Products. It probably isn't as nice in detail or the buckle as strong as the Wilderness belt, but my Cabela's belt still is very stiff and comfy and sure beats my cheap Walmart belt hands down.

 

I just wanted to say that I broke down and bought a Wilderness Instructor Belt (black, 1.5", 5 stitch) just to see what the fuss was about. Ordered from gmstactical.com on the 11th and got it today the 13th (standard shipping). Bought from them vs straight from Wilderness due to being cheaper by a few dollars AND FREE shipping - total 42.95 shipped - not sure if thats the best deal out there but it seemed fair to me.

About six months ago, I was waiting in line to get into the Gun Show.
While I was waiting I was talking with a friend, when I over heard this guy behind me giving another guy advise about what kind of belt and holster works for CCW.

This guy is telling the other guy to get a good belt at Wal-Mart and a Uncle Mike’s OWB holster like he has. I looked down at the pistol on his side and it stuck out way too much for me. It was a Beretta 92.

It always amazes me, a person will spend $800.00 on a handgun for CCW but does not want to spend a dime on the right equipment to carry it in concealment.

Good for you on willing to pay some cash for the right equipment.:thumbsup:

Thanks - I have been using the cabelas double duty leather belt for years and am still very happy with it but just wanted tp try something a little lighter and thinner. I will have to check out the cabelas version today to see how it differs other than the buckle.

My new belt has been great so far. Not a single negative word to speak. Went to an all you can eat place last night for dinner with the family - very nice being able to loosen my belt at the table without drawing any unwanted attention lol.

working on a holster project and hope to have my first pics on gt posted this weekend of the belt and holster may be able to squeeze in a few of my wifes holster set up and her rig as well.

Dont get me wrong - I am about the bargain as well lol. Ok to be more accurate I am a shopper and live by the motto to always buy the best you can afford. tried the ultra cheap belts or just standard belts and never understood the importance until I started buying carry specific belts. night and day.

there are just too many options out there for people not to find something correct in thier price range or having to wait months to get a product.

What is this thread about...?
