I have been wearing webbing belts for over 25 years. I have used everything from 1" compression straps to crazy overbuilt tactical belts made out of parachuting hardware. There are probably 10 that I rotate through daily wear. When I judge a webbing belt I am looking at several things: 1. Is it secure? 2. Is it easy to adjust and get just right? 3. Is it lightweight? 4. Is it low profile? 5. Is it comfortable? 6. Is it durable? 7. Does it look good? Despite a huge collection, I don't have a belt that does all those things perfectly (probably why I have a huge collection). So how do my Grip6 belts rank in those categories? I have two classic buckles (gunmetal and ember) and two straps (light-weight and medium-weight), and while different, from an evaluation standpoint, they are essentially the same. First, what does Grip6 do well? In terms of looking good, being comfortable, and being light-weight and low profile, I think y'all hit it out of the park. I am very pleased with those elements. Durability, I assume won't be an issue, but I can't really judge after only a couple weeks. The buckle and strap are of high quality, but I am a bit worried about the creases I am already seeing (especially on the midweight belt). And where is Grip6 missing the mark? Definitely in ease of adjustability and getting things just right. Adjusting the belt isn't particularly difficult, but it is hard to get those micro adjustments I am used to with other belts, especially when trying to get things pretty tight and when I am right at a pre-existing point that the belt has "memorized". And, it just isn't possible to cinch it down past a certain point due to having to pivot the buckle forward to tighten it. For a daily wear belt, I am very happy with Grip6 because the look (especially with the various straps and buckles) is exceptional. And I appreciate how secure it is and its comfort. However, when it comes to being a work or outdoors belt, it will not be in my rotation. Whether I am out running a chainsaw all day or backpacking, I need to be able to fine-tune the length easily and I can't do that with a Grip6 belt. My go-to in these situations will be a wildland fire crewboss style belt followed by a cam style tactical belt. So am I pleased with my Grip6 belt? Yeah, I am. More so than I expected. Given that these are among the more expensive webbing belts I own, do I wish they were a little bit better? Yeah. If adjustability were easier, these would be a perfect belt system and I could leave all my other others hanging in the closet.
