Battle Belt
« on: February 16, 2013, 06:24:19 PM »
Hey guys,
So the final piece of my kit is the battle belt, and i was wondering what the best brand is and what pouches to get. I have seen and heard good things about Condor and BLACKHAWK! stuff, but i was wondering if anyone had testimonies or other brands that they know work well. Thanks guys,

Condor gear is awesome. Its affordable, and plenty tough enough for airsoft adventures.

HSGI.  Period. 

Got one, and it comfortably and securely held a 90/4500 HPA tank in an oversized Nalgene pouch.  I just got another one, this time with a rigger's belt... I'm looking to unload my lightly used one, Med, CB.  PM if you're interested.

Neither... Drop $400 on a Crye belt...  :D

In reality. I like Blackhawk! over Condor. Long story short, Condor products have ripped on me, so my opinion towards Condor is mostly set in stone. I've only heard good things about Blackhawk! (besides the occasional criticism about the locks on Serpas). I haven't owned any of their soft goods though.   

HSGI, I heard is pretty decent too. I have no experience with them though.

I would suggest HSGI's Sure Grip Battle Belt with one of their cobra belts. The battle belt itself will run you $75 but it's one of the best ones out there.

i would not reccomend the condor because as soon as you put any weight on it tends to sag, not the height but outside of the portion you put youre belkt on the 3rd layer where the molle is they gave it way more material then what was needed

I have and ATS and a Battlelabs, both are awesome with the ATS in the lead.
You can make a great set of suspenders for under $5. PM me if interested.
The Blue Force Gear SOC belt has had a good buzz about it.
I would not recommend the Condor.

Really? I never knew Tyr was Phoenix based. I knew they were in AZ, but that's about it. I will have to stop by one of these days.

Yep there right behind the carwash next to anteguia. I think that's how they spell it. Never realized how expensive that mg back pack is. I guess like $3000 of it's $4000+ price tag is the feed tube. But back to the subject they make some bad ass gear, it's not cheap but there quality is flawless.

I've noticed they were pricey. They have a vest (I believe it is the PICO) that looks a lot like a Crye JPC, but cost almost $1K... A bit out of my budget... But I guess it is a classic case of "you get what you pay for".

I would imagine if your the feed chain broke in that backpack it would suck to have to put down your weapon, tack off the pack, fish for the end of the chain, put it back in the tube, and reload your weapon.

Ahhh, didn't see that. But even without the plates, it's still almost twice the price of a Crye JPC (from Crye's website, but of course you are going to have to wait 3 months for your order to ship) or Mayflower APC and a LBT 6094a is 3/5 the price. I am definitely interested in stopping buy and checking them out. They seem pretty legit.
