Cy Soto Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Looking for a decent belt since my walmart special just isn't up to the task.i've heard good things about the wildnerness instructor belt. Any other suggestions or opinions? 5.11 makes a knockoff of the Wilderness Belt. The 5.11 1.75" one has a "stiffener" sewn in that makes the belt very rigid and it is slightly less expensive than the Wilderness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RePete Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I use the 1.5" Wilderness 5 stitch. Stiff enough for me. I don't think the price difference is enough to be bothered with anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Hello: Buy a CR Speed belt and use just the inner belt for IDPA. Then you can use both belts for USPSA. Comp-Tac also make a great looking belt that can be used for dress wear as well. A good belt makes a big difference. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use my for every day use also, great support for cell phone, leatherman, etc. There's also the concealed carry use/benefit of the wilderness.

longrange2 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I use the 5.11 trainer belt, 1.5 inches wide without a stiffener. Great for IDPA matches and also use for carry. I've got a brand new extra that is too big for me, do you wear a 40-42 by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Antichrome Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 In 'instructor' type belts you can get a decent one for $30-$35 (Bison or 5.11 etc.) and they'll work fine. Or, you can buy a Wilderness for $40 and get the best. I splurged and got the reinforced model, it's slightly stiffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucas Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Went from the 1.5 Wilderness to the 1.75...If you have any kind of gut what so ever its more comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
