I've been around the block a few times with belts. Tried many but keep coming back to my Wilderness Belt. I like the looks of the G- hook But I'm sticking with the original Instructors Belt Buckle. The buckle is my carabiner attachment point which holds my dog leashes. I like the extra security of knowing my dogs can't escape without dragging me away. I'm due for a new belt soon, the Velcro on the tongue is just about shot.
