Have had mine for a couple years now. Also have his Aesir duty belt for work. Quality stuff

Just got back into town, and the Graith Specialist was waiting for me when I got back. Wow. Truly cannot believe that I had not discovered this belt sooner. I've only had it on for a day or two, but the difference in comfort coming from a Wilderness 5 Stitch is immediately noticeable. It is certainly going to replace my 5 Stitch belts for AIWB. Solved my buckle printing issues too.

I use JMCK AIWB holsters with kydex split loops and I read some complaints on the big thread regarding threading this belt through the holster while it's mounted over a belt loop, which is where my sweet spot usually falls. Today, I am wearing a pair of Dickies workshorts with belt loops roughly twice as wide as my regular jeans (read: way more difficult to thread) and I was able to get it through in seconds with the help of a small pair of tweezers.

Thanks for the advice gents, I'm a very happen camper.

darkstargear saves 15%. Nothing comes to me and I got my few belts from them for free.

Any recommendation for stiffness? I’m ready to order one. I’m using a graith, but this is the second belt that the Velcro has come unstitched.

I’m using a Rigel, naturally

The "super stiff" is about normal, somewhere around a Wilderness 5-stitch. It was too stiff for a female waist recently, but a few guys starting at 32" love them.

My vote goes to the Mean Gene Leather Victory Aegis or Ares Gear Aegis in either their standard or enhanced/stiffened variants if you prefer a more rigid belt as I do. The Aegis buckle is without equal IMO.

JMCK 2.5 split loops with Ares Aegis standard for VP9/Glock 17. I tried the enhanced version but found it too stiff for all day comfort. I agree, the buckle is great for quick adjustment which I wear offset at the 10 o'clock position. Quality of Ares Aegis is outstanding
