So I don't want to run a battle belt as they are bulky among other reasons and I NEEDZ DAT HSLD OPER8R LUUK

 

Been looking at the Ronin Tactics Senshi Belt but on their website, they don't ship to the UK. I then tried the TYR tactical belt which is basically the same thing but then realised that I am paying £140 and up with the shipping included for just the base belt.

 

Anyone know of any alternatives?

I have my eyes on this but am not sure how decent it will be as YouTube has only 2 okayish reviews that don't really talk about too much and are pretty low quality: http://www.tactical-kit.co.uk/arcteryx-h-150-riggers-belt-8398-p.asp

 

I'm looking to run:

Dump pouch - Undecided brand but looking at the Maxpedition Roly Poly

Double M4 Fast Pouch - Warrior (debating this as 2 single's would be better, and kydex would be better)

Pistol Holster - Undecided brand although I'm undecided between the TM Glock 17 and TM M&P

Medium Utility Pouch - Probably Warrior, although I may run this on my PC if weight becomes a problem

 

I am unsure of how the Warrior riggers belts hold up to load carries as they are just that, riggers belts with nothing else special in mind (as far as I know stiffening wise).

 

 

Anyone with any knowledge of belt systems help me out?

As long as I can get it in the UK, the shipping as I keep forgetting is diabolical from MURICA.

Much appreciated :D

Nuprol doesn't make anything. It rebrands cheap chinese stuff.

How deep are your pockets? There are many people out there in the uk who specialise in making custom webbing and belt kits your exact sizes, requirements etc. Its certainly not cheap though.

Agreed - Nuprol stuff is awful or (at best) just a rebrand of another cheaper product. I thought this was pretty well established by now. There's a reason why they're able to take out so many advertisements and sponsorships - high markup on cheap goods.

 

Also, please use the multiquote button or type below the post you've quoted. Half this thread is you even though there's only 3-4 actual posts from you. I know it can be a little weird on these forums at first but it gets hard to read otherwise.

 

Katana, maybe look into the LBX Assaulters Belt if that's in your price range (which hopefully it is based on that link there). There's a retailer in Italy that stocks them and will ship for 25 Euros (a bit heavy I know, but quicker and cheaper than from the US), or you can import from Amped Airsoft at a push. There are a fair few reviews knocking around about them.

I appreciate you trying to help out Scoogi54 but as it has already been established, Nuprol make some seriously low quality crap. I mean that is probably one of the worst brands in airsoft as we speak. I know you are only trying to help out and I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to comment but you should probably do some research on airsoft branding before you recommend a product. Don't just buy a product and think "well that's high quality STUAFF ROIGHT DERE" before comparing it to something in a much higher price bracket. Warrior Assualt Systems and Nuprol are about a million lightyears away in terms of quality mainly because one is real steel gear and the other is cheap, low quality stitched, rebranded, fart shit to put it lightly.

 

Anyway, that LBX Assaulters belt looks very interesting. It's the same concept as the other belt systems with the inner belt attaching to the outer via velcro and it looks a whole lot better than running a battle belt. $60 is damn good as well. I'm gonna check out some reviews as I feel like I want to go the next one up from that in terms of pricing and quality etc. I like buying expensive gear or surplus military gear because I know that I will save money in the long run and not make the first mistake I did and spend £40 on some bulldog multicam trousers only to realise after I bought them that they are made by the infamous bulldog company on JBBG and my micro-brain didn't process that until there was a rip in the fucking crotch. My fault for being a jackass and rushing into buying something.

 

Is there anything else on the market that looks very similar to the LBX assaulters vest but maybe a bit more money for quality?

Just because you made a mistake don't try to push other people into doing the same.

Its crap end of, and before anyone says it I am not a gear snob.

Jesus christ. 020 rate it because they got a shitload of it for nothing and I know for a FACT that no one that works for Ai actually uses anything made by Nuprol. Everything they sell, EVERYTHING, is a chinese rebrand. TMC is better quality, and that stuff is 99% shit too.

 

The LBX Assaulter belt is a slightly bulkier version of the Crye Precision Modular Riggers Belt, a nice bit of kit but the Ronin style beats it in pretty much every way.

 

Here in the UK one option is the Intelligent Armour CT operator's belt (http://www.body-armour-protection.co.uk/IA-CT-Team-Operators-Belt.html) - what the guys from Airsoft International actually use, not my cup of tea though. Alternately FRV Tailoring are a pretty new outfit that are doing Ronin Tactics style belts (Ronin is really a reseller for AWS, but that's beside the point!) here: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/johnji1033?_trksid=p2047675.l2563

 

With the amount you're actually sticking on there though any old stiffened 'gun belt' will do the job, it certainly doesn't need PALS webbing to carry that stuff as if you arrange it right your belt loops will keep everything in place.

 

As an aside, I rate the warrior assault systems roll up dump pouch over the maxpedition one, it's got a better stiffener in the opening and a draw cord closure that works independently. Maxpedition is basically a bag that hangs off your belt.
