New wilderness low pro edc belt doesn’t seem to stay put. Advice needed

[TAZ]

Ive noticed that without the velcro mine is not as secure as other buckle types. Its not pants falling down insecure, but it doesn't stay at the tightness I set it. With the velcro, no issues of it EVER coming loose or slipping.

I’d have to stare at it some more but the buckle on my Mastermind Specialist Pro seems more “arched” than the one you pictured, @hk45. I don’t recall any issues slipping with mine. Might be an option if things don’t work with the Wilderness (but it should work, I agree).

I think so. See picture. I notice that when I pull the belt tight while on my waist, it will retract and pull back through unless it’s secured to the Velcro. In other words, it will not stay tight unless attached to the Velcro. It just doesn’t seem to be biting the buckle, if that makes any sense.

That doesn't seem right. I know for a fact that their Frequent Flyer belts are designed specifically such that the Velcro is not necessary to maintain belt tension and I can't imagine them deviating from this philosophy with the LowPro. I would maybe reach out to Wilderness and explain your issue - their customer service is excellent.

I’ve had one since almost immediately after they were introduced. No problems whatsoever threading the buckle as shown by @NPV. Supports an AIWB holster just fine.

From google searches I’ve seen others mention (not complaint really) that the low pro edc buckle allows the webbing to slip through more so than other buckles like the instructor or frequent flyer. I will say I am a bit disappointed the buckle doesn’t bite hard.
