Battle belt advice?

The gunfighter belt looks good, and I like the versatility it offers which comes at a premium of £70 versus £45 for the standard PLB belt. Bound to be another good sale with decent discounts in next few months.

I hear what you're saying but £70 for a "real steel" piece of kit? It's really not much when you look at what you get. Granted the needs of airsofters aren't really up there with actual soldiers so maybe some of us need to lower our sights in terms of how gucci the kit needs to be?

 
i use the viper belt with a osprey yoke, nice and padded, gets the job done ;) B)

 
I have a Viper one and it too has a hole on either side where you can attach the drop leg directly to the belt not the molle. Not skirmished with it yet but got the mil tec suspenders which clip nicely onto the loops.

 
I currently run a Disciple Battle belt, which you can get from armysurplus.co.uk for £30, with a harness and it is absolutely amazing. I used to run a plate carrier with all my pouches on that and it was too hindering.

On the belt I carry a triple mag pouch, Dump pouch, water bottle (for on the field hydration / team mates) an ifak and a utility pouch for grenades.

If you don't like carrying anything on your chest I would definitely go for a battle belt.

 
I have 2 of the Condor BB's with a Viper Cheapo belt. Works a treat and seems to be a bit longer than other BB's (it can hold that bit more at the front).

 
I'd have to go Warrior every time. Their kit is absolutely bullet proof. I use a WAS plate carrier, chest rig, pouches and belt in various load outs. For the money they cannot be beat.

 
I know this is an old thread but I'd like the ask if the Warrior PLB belt comes with the inner belt included in the £59 price?

Sorry, misread this but yes, the PLB belt has the "inner belt" attached: 

Warriors unique adjustment system works instantly by allowing the user to fully adjust the belt while wearing it simply by sharply pulling both ends of the buckle straps inwards towards the center

It's also £60 and out of stock in everything but OD.

I've found the Flyye Gen 2 battle belt (with suspenders) to be excellent, wouldn't mind a way to attach it directly to a carrier though.

I checked the size chart for the Flyye belt and was rather surprised by the latitude in their measurements:

Size: S (83cm - 127cm waistline) Size: M (96cm - 134cm waistline) Size: L (104cm - 163cm waistline)

Not sure what to make of those numbers. Obviously the molle belt must come with an inner belt and the lengths refer to the inner belt. This doesn't give you any idea of the length of the padded molle section.

I prefer the molle sectiont to come right around to the front, not end at the hips on each side.

I don't know if you are still about Sacarathe but if you are could you tell me if the Flyye belts have long or short padded molle areas. What size of belt did you get. I had decided on a Condor because their molle section  tends to be longer than many of the others. But if the Flyye is also long I might change my mind.

This is the one I have. I don't know of any information other than that listed here. As you can see the belt is very long, I weaved it back through the battlebelt to reduce the excess at the front.

Thanks.

Not bad value for a decent product then.

Pity only the OD is in stock.

I think he wants to know the length of the molle section of the belts, so would jsut be a question of measuring yours.

E.g. if he could take a 110 waist, he could wear any of the belts, but if the molle on the large was much longer than the small it would wrap round to the front so he could have pouches at the front, rather than them being on the sides.

I'm happy to do the measurement (though unclear on what - the webbing itself?), but I don't understand how the pictures I linked are less useful.

Was wondering would it be possible to adapt an Osprey cumberbund to do this?.

That way you could have your pouches right the way round the front.

Cheers

As a belt?  Just... no.  That belt pictured is already waaaaaay too tall for a sub load, you should be look at 3 rows of PALS max (ideally 2 total, comprising 0.5-1-0.5) with minimal extra fluff  materialabove and below the webbing.
