Belt recommendations

[fishslap]

I’d like to get a belt made out of webbing material (not the stiffer nylon) and maybe only 1.5 inches wide.

I use a belt that came with a pair a waders for when I have my pack on

Look up Grip 6 belts. I'm pleased with mine.

+1 on HPG belt, 2 years and counting. Have many other belts including Sitka, KUIU and SOE, no comparison.

Get an arcade belt. Its got some stretch, lays flat and is super comfy especially if you are climbing over blow downs, its stretchyness gives you just a little bit more mobility over the standard strap belts.

Yes, arcade belts are excellent - stretchy but doesn't move, lightweight, flat. I've posted about them in the past, but people didn't seem to care for whatever reason.

Which one of their belts do you recommend? Do you know the width? Good item to put on the xmas list.

Kifaru belt. Never had an issue with a packs hip belt while wearing the kifaru pants belt.

My Bison belt slips a lot. I also don't wear a belt when I am wearing a pack. It has been relegated to casual wear.

I’m a cheapskate so I use a piece of 1” nylon webbing and a ladder lock buckle. It’s not super convenient to fasten, but it’s low profile, adjusts easily, and the price was less than $1.

I have this same belt on right now, and hunt in its twin. Looks like it's 1.5"

Another perk is that you don't have to take it off at the airport since it's all plastic/elastic.

I love my Kifaru belts. Wear them most of the time not just hunting.

To those that are wearing the Hill People Gear Velcro/webbing belt, on their website it gives a size range for each belt. Do those size ranges correspond to your normal pant size or your normal belt size? I’ve tried calling and emailing them about it but haven’t gotten a response yet.

I jumped on this thread also to recommend the arcade stretch belts. They are awesome and comfy. If someone really wants webbing style instead, with metal buckle, they started making a stretch web version that is probably pretty great too.

“OV Innovations” has a great underpack belt... apparently they teamed up with HPG on this lastest version. Not sure who came up with the idea first but I have OV’s older version as well and their both the best I’ve found hands down

For a simple good belt I’ll throw Blue Alpha Gear in the mix. I just got one of their belts with the plastic loop as opposed to a buckle and I like it pretty well.

I use the Kuiu belt..it’s the same licensed Bison design that a bajillion other companies use. It does the job...

When I wear my Prana Zions or Sitka Timberlines I just use the integral cinch and no belt

I just got a kifaru belt about three weekes ago for what i wear everyday, Its amazing how much better it is than my 511 belt which i had for YEARS. My vote would go that route.

I have two KUIU belts, the older and stiffer one, and a one yr old one with the more flexible webbing. Neither slip...although the old style stiff webbing version took a bit of breaking in before I liked it. I use either one back packing and wear them all the time.

Note their ad is wrong, they show the belt as 25mm wide... 1", when in fact they are 1.5" wide (37mm). The ad has been in error for years.
