NexbeltEDC Tactical Ratchet Belt – 1.5" Black Nylon, Quick-Release, Adjustable for Appendix Carry, Fits Up to 50" Waist

The process to put this together when it arrives takes all of 2 minutes. As far as the sizing I did see some people say to cut 4 pants sizes up, I went only 2 and could probably go down 1 more. This belt is amazing. I’m an operating engineer in manhattan and when you’re up and down ladders, crawl spaces, in and out of ceilings, on top of the cooling towers ect, my uniform shirt (with a regular leather belt) would keep coming out making some jobs a little dangerous, especially when you’re around large mechanical equipment. Hanging a tool belt, leatherman & radio from this Nexbelt is AN ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER! No sag whatsoever. Adjustments if I need made quick and easy as well!I originally bought this for a CCW belt, but I will DEFINITELY purchase another one for that because the first one is now my go to work belt!Highly recommend.

I updated this a few times - read until the end:I like the ratcheting belts as it can tighten incrementally. I have a number of ratcheting belts from another company but wanted to try out the Nexbelt based on internet comments.Pros:Buckle size is a plus - 1.5" wide on the front and back, so arguably will work well for appendix carry. The quality of the outer material of the belt is nicer and feels more EDC than the mil-spec nylon-feel of other companies belts. Black and red ratcheting is a lovely color combo as well, albeit you don't see the red portion. The "click" sounds more mechanical like a watch-part than a iron-factory cog. Belt is sized up to 50", but you need about 4" for carrying a firearm so this will fit up to 46"-ish waists if you carry.Cons:The rigidity is less than the other well known ratcheting belt brand, though it is better than other Amazon choices. In comparison, I feel like I have to cinch this belt uncomfortably tighter at first, otherwise it slips by the end of the day. No belt loop for the excess. For the average EDC carrier, this isn't an issue as your size is consistent. However for conceal carry carriers the belt could flex in dimension throughout the day for on/off, so if your leftovers doesn't align with your pants belt loops, this excess could be annoying. Fortunately the other well known brand sells simple velcro belt loops if you need it (I have extras from mine).Price: I paid $69 a week ago, currently on Amazon $79, on their website direct $59 (likely plus tax and shipping). It's not any less expensive than the alternative - it is on par.Overall I would choose this if I need to carry appendix (I carry 3:00) or want an EDC belt with a more fashionable look. It otherwise is functioning like the other ratcheting brand and the decision to go with company would be arbitrary, not because the belt is better than the alternative.Edit: after over six months of use, I would say this belt is fantastic. Skip the other Nexbelt models and the other brands - this one is comfortable, and the buckle is the ideal size, albeit a little thick. I have had no issues and the slipping must have been user error as I don't run into issues since. The rigidity is still less than the other major brand, but it still works solid. My other brand sits in a drawer and hasn't resurfaced since. If this belt wore out, I would just buy another and not even bother pulling the other brand out of the drawer...that's how much I like this belt now. Already picked up the tan one as a back up.Edit2: May 30th 2022, almost 1year 2months to the day I bought it, the button snapped off and fortunately I was in my walk-in closet when it happened, and not out and about. Without that button, you cannot take off the belt. But if you insert the part, you could take it off. Fortunately I have the tan one and Amazon Prime has these in a day turn around. The black one was my daily belt for 99% of that year and 2 months and got a lot use. Unfortunately parts are only warranties for a year. I'm going to see if NexBelt will fix the buckle.Edit 3: Regarding Nexbelt issue in 2022, I did reach out to them and they did send me a new buckle which is why I have continued to stay with them.Edit 4: Oct 2024, I have a few of these belts now and I stopped using the other brand because this buckle is extremely comfortable. I tend to wear them out after a year or two, which isn't band, but compared to traditional leather belts this may be sub par to you. I recently took the belt form the other brand and tried it out so it appears the belt itself is compatible, which is a bonus as NexBelt does not offer this Supreme Carry version is any other colors besides tan and black, and the other brand sells the belt itself separately. One thing to note is when I disassembled the older belt, I noticed that the screws have a set-screw tip, but at some point I got an actual set screw with a spike tip (probably with the replacement). This would be better for the setup as the set screws just pin the belt, whereas the spike pierces through it and would retain it much better. I'm not sure if the newer belts come this way, but they should.

Very good concealed carry belt. I’ve tried many who boast to be the best but fall on their face with bad ideas. This belt is awesome. Loved it so much I bought one for my son also

This is the second Nexbelt I have purchased in three years. The first one lasted 3 years before the stiffener band in the belt finally broke at the end of the red section that connects to the buckle. The fabric the belt has on the outside was beginning to fray also. Neither issue caused a problem except the belt was not as stiff on my right side where the band broke inside the belt which is where I normally wore my firearm. After receiving the new belt it was very obvious due to the stiffener band being broken that the old belt was much less effective at keeping my firearm tight against the body as it was prior to the band breaking. Overall I have been very pleased with the belt, I personally would recommend this product if you carry every day.

This is an incredible belt. I was considering a KORE, but I saw people say they were a little bit too stiff and these Nexbelts have the perfect level of rigidity. I have to admit, this belt is straight up awesome. I had a leather Nexbelt from 4 or 5 years ago, but it had lost some of its rigidity and I was starting to print. I got this Nylon version, and I think the Nylon are way better. Right out of the box it's incredibly comfortable and holds its shape without having to crank it down super tight. Very comfortable and I'm not printing AT ALL. I have to literally pull my shirt so it's skin tight before you can see my CCW. Love this belt and glad I bought it.

This is my 4th Nextbelt. 1 dress belt and 3 carry belts (replacements). If you wear the belt every day then the belt will last about 14-18 months depending on use. The reason I keep buying Nextbelt is it rachets and is good for EDC. The major complaint is you can't buy the belt without the buckle.Pros:Ratchet buckleStrong enough to carrylow profile buckleCons:The belt is made of plastic and will crack over time.Can't buy the belt without the buckle.

Love the adjustment of this belt for every day use it is a bit heavy but works great

Great edc. Wore out my 1st nexbelt after 5 years of daily wear (appendix iwc). Didn't hesitate to replace with another.Do wish they made a hidden compartment money belt version though...
