Help me choose a new edc belt (AIWB)- Wilderness, Blue Alpha, or Vdevgru

I love the Graith Specialist for AIWB.

Solid decision. I'm not quite at full fanboi status yet, but I like mine for AIWB and would be very surprised if it doesn't work for your needs. :cool:

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

This one looks good. I like that it can be undone without undoing the Velcro. I'll have to pick one up

That’s the only complaint I have about the Graith after ordering a JMCK AIWB with split kydex loop: It’s a PITA to thread because the edge isn’t stiff enough (phrasing!).

While I haven't had any real problems threading my holster or my CP sheath, I have the same complaint about that belt end. Otherwise, I think the Graith belt is the best for my needs.

In my experience if you're willing to run solid loops, fixed soft loops without pull-the-dot snaps are the lowest profile loops of all, probably the most fatigue resistant, and much easier to thread. I stopped using hard split loops.

I like the regular version better than their "Enhanced". Contrary to their advertisement, my regular versions are stiffer and more supportive than my Enhanced. I keep my enhanced in my battle belt where the stiffness isn't as important.

And ditto on the regular vs enhanced

On the Langdon Tactical site the belt is referred to as the Foundation Belt. Is that the one?

Yes

The Mayhem Syndicate belt is a novel design. They incorporate elastic, I'd like to try one out.
