Have one, like it a lot after I got used to it. Definitely has the advantages pointed out. Downsides are you can’t pull hard to get extra tight with a buckle like a slide, cobra, G Hook, etc. but still offers more adjustment than a traditional hole belt. Also wish they made a full 1 3/4″ belt, I’ve came to prefer them because to me they are just a little more comfortable. But even with those it has became my daily casual belt.
I have 2 of these and like them a lot. They’re not as stiff as some of my other gun belts (Wilderness Instructors belt, etc.) but they work as advertised and are definitely stiff enough to hold a holstered gun and some mags. Not to mention that at $29, they were affordable enough for me to get a spare one just to leave one in my car with my go bag. I’d like to say it’s so I can have a good belt to strap on what I need to in case of emergency, but the reality is that I use it when I’m rushing out the door to a competition and realize when I got there that I forgot to bring my normal belt. Good idea, great price.
Has this split on one end belt been done before? It wouldn’t surprise me but haven’t seen one. If so do you guys have a link to another one? I’ve seen lots of inner/outer belt setups used, but not where just the last 1/3 or so splits open.
Seems to be aimed at a fairly small niche. For overt use, I think an inner/outer combination or war belt is the “A” answer, as it doesn’t require you to reposition a bunch of gear every time you put on your belt. For concealment, I use IWB holsters, so this product doesn’t serve any purpose for me. I guess it could have some application for low profile users who want to wear OWB holsters.
Where I’m liking it is that, theoretically at least, if I understand the concept, I can get my holster, cuffs, spare mags, and flashlight on without my pants crashing to the floor……working in a casual uniform, I’m still loath to leave too much stuff behind, but a full on battle-belt might be a little much. For the price, I’ll give it a go, which will make the boss happy, cause when I do wear the micro battle belt it’s in ATACs FG. This should also allow the use of pouches with conventional belt loops, instead of having to fight with MOLLE.
Of course, I see this after having some covert vests and equipment harnesses imported from Sweden last week.
Fair enough. I work in security, not LE, so there’s no casual uniform for me. I’m either working in a duty belt or not working and carrying concealed. I have to say I would still prefer to thrown on an inner belt and duty belt rather than deal with threading a belt through multiple pouches, but that’s just me.

I also sew and haven’t seen a creative fresh design in a while I felt made alot of sense. I hope you guys do very well!
I really like this idea.

hasn’t this been done in USPSA for the last 20 something years?
What kind of holster is that?
This has been the standard in competition shooting like USPSA and IPSIC since before I was born its not exactly a new idea.
This is not the same as a CR speed or DA belt system, this is just one belt.

The holster looks like a G-Code
My bad, now I’m thinking Safariland SLS
Hey if it works for you great but all those problems cab solved with a quality paddle holster.
