Nice belt! I bought a T Rex Orion a couple years ago to get me by just in case SHTF, but all this time I've waited for the "right" (true) two piece system to come to market. I do believe that day is here. Gentlemen..I can't thank you enough for what you provide, and all the work you guys put in each and every week. Solid stuff as always, and priceless information.
@bthunder9292 yup I'm getting it and the speed belt. I dint care just walk my very string dog very late at night. A knife , flash, spray, dump pouch and maybe 1 other idem. Never knew the cobra had issues. Luv the raptor
Bought one before seeing this review. Have worn it for 2 months and everything in this review is spot on! This will be my duty belt until (if possible) it gets so worn it’s useless. Definitely would purchase for the rest of my career.
I love the review it is so thoughtful and goes in depth in everyway! Also I agree an offhand melee weapon is gonna become a thing sooner or later. I would love to see your take on the Trex Speed Belt because both the Defense Mech and Trex Speed Belt are quite similar
After about 2 months of research, Kore, GBRS, AXL, Blue Alpha, G Code, T Rex, HRT ARC, I FINALLY pulled the trigger on the Mech Defense Belt in Black multi cam. Every other belt fell short in one area or another. The Tegris fully wrapped inner, the 2 layer Tegris fully wrapped and full Velcro hook outer belt beat the other belts for design, weight, and strength. Your discount code on top of everything else was an extra added bonus. I did order the med pouch, and several other pouches but I love the look of the G Code pistol/rifle mags so I hope they fit the Mech belt. I'll do a follow up review once I receive my belt and set everything up. Thank you again for the detailed review and the discount.
Hey there Walsh!!! I know this is an old video but what is that hanging from the clip on the right of the buckle on the belt? It’s like a shotgun shell holder but with very small loops. I run pyro for airsoft and locally, we use little firecrackers that would fit perfect in that thing!!!
I would love this belt if it had more traditional molle. While this type of molle works for certain pouches, it doesn't work for all my pouches and therefore really isn't for me. On the flip side I just ordered the inner belt to be my new EDC belt.
ehh I'll disagree. It works even better for legacy MOLLE pouches that the "hang it off the side" type the weight is offset by the tegris system. It's hard to explain but it does either type better than old generation belts. -Walsh
@@ThinLineDefenseCo a lot of my kydex pouches that use molle and then the eleven 10 malice clip system don’t work in this sort of belt. I had a ciguera gear belt with a similar system to this and a lot of my pouches were just to floppy when I couldn’t use one wrap. It’s not a bad design it just doesn’t work for me. I much prefer something like the Attack Pack reaper where the molle weaves through the tegris but gives me traditional molle compatibility
Lets put in perspective. The mech belt is top of it's class and designed by real CQB and firearms instructors and has sat on the top #1 recommended for almost a year. The other guy is on instagram..... You pick.
I’ve heard that COBRA buckles are no longer load rated but can’t find any info on it? MATBOCK and Misty Mountain still uses them in their belts and climbing harness so thats weird.
That is weird and I'm not sure on exactly why. Some say it's because you can't release under load and some mention some other safety flaws that make them not actually able to pass load or safety checks. All the approved buckles are like double D loop or something totally different. I know astra alpine has a buckle that releases under load and I'd be Zero percent surprised to see that buckle show up soon
@@ThinLineDefenseCo Yeah they never really seemed up to that task. COBRAS are just tacticool buckles. It was pretty obvious when the rock climbing world wouldn’t touch them with a 10ft pole. Thanks!
I may just be nit picking, which is what the internet is for I guess. But with the way the molle is set up how ridged are the pouches? Can you pull on a mag and it comes out easy or does it have slack?
I tell everyone including reddit, this is my DAWG. Great guy, very fun, luv his daughter saying. DAD, don't say that.. and most importantly gives us our freedoms. Shoots well also. I would know my dad was a delta sniper
Do I need the inner belt? I just want a duty style belt to run and gun at the range. I have a really rigid EDC gun belt I love so I don’t want an inner belt if it isn’t needed.. hopefully someone can help!
@@KNP_SWATI am not sure about bison, but somebody told me before that rappel lanyard can’t be applied on ronin belt, u can actually apply on both belt if u just want to be cool in front of ur friends, but NEVER expect it for practical use
@thatguyjohnny8235 I chose the agilite. Simply for the quick donn and doff with the magnets. Wondering how much of an upgrade it will be coming from a basic kore battle belt. With that said I'm still waiting for it to come in. That and my k19 should he here the 9th.
Nope, good question though. It still has the molle underneath and that area performs the same as the opposing side. I should have shown it but I did test that. The gloves are actually hooked in the same way molle would be. It would be easier to show you....but yes, gear can go there as it goes on the outside portion. -Walsh
I feel like this isn’t MOLLE though and for anything larger than pistol mag and short rifle mag pouches then the pouches won’t have the structure of being woven through their own MOLLE slots and the belt. This is really just a slotted wrap around instead of a MOLLE set up. Still looks like a dope belt but I think some of my larger pouches will fold away and flop excessively since they’re only wrapped around the inside of the belt
Wait this is my 3rd comment on the 3rd video. First you HATED the floppy inner belt of the GBRS, then you LOVED (“I am starting to like these more”) the more malleable inner belt of the AXL, then I saw your HRTC ARC review with the “super stiff inner belt” and now you said “no one likes soft noodle inner belts”. AGGHH!!!!! I am confused!!!!!! 😭 😂
haha I change my likes over time and you're seeing them in weird order. GBRS is the worst... hands down rat faced garbage on the market. The Axl is pretty mehh compared to the new DM. I like stiff inner belts to hold an EDC if I swap to a civilian setup. The newer lightweight tegris belts do this very well. The other team favorite is the blue alpha gear low profile EDC belt.
Hey Walsh thanks again for another awesome video. I don’t know if it’s appropriate to submit an informal request here buuuuut; I’ve been eyeballing the Belt-M from S&S Precision (it IS a load rated), wondering if you could get your hands on one and add it to the review list?
@@ThinLineDefenseCo yeah, it’s just a belt, 🤷♂️ right? Right? Jk…I understand the challenges that come with being loved and desired by everyone, can be overwhelming 😂
I only wish they didn't take so long on making them I ordered mine 2 days after this video was released and its 8 to 10 weeks out to order them. Just in the waiting game now lol
@@ThinLineDefenseCo right on man. i like your in depth reviews of belts and was looking for some aws belt reviews, specifically SMU one to get your take on it.
I would totally be sold on this except: 1. You guys still haven’t reviewed the Ciguera Battle Wagon, Ferro Bison, the yet to be Released Trex Arms belt… 2. It comes in every cool camo pattern, so how can I possibly choose? 3. I officially have analysis paralysis. Thank you.
Walsh, the new Trex belt hasn’t been released. It’s mythical. Farcical. It can’t hurt you. And, yeah. I sold my bison belt last week in anticipation for this belt. Also that inner belt had the rigidity of the parchment paper that Fruit by the Foot lives on.
I haven't tried it but it seems like the one you pay 60 bucks more for it to say TRex on it.... the other you save 60 bucks and it says DM and has an extra layer of tegris....
Ordered mine today. Grabbed a black inner & Mech along with a new cummerbund for my MEPC. Been running the MEPC for a little over a year (school protection officer) at work and it's fantastic. DM definitely earned a repeat customer here.
That looks like a seriously sick belt. The only reason I’m not ordering one right now is because I’m waiting for the review on the HRT belt. However, it looks like this is the belt and I’m going to get. I’m a little concerned about the sleeve system on the HRT. I’m also not wild about the lack of rear hook and loop. I am really excited about this belt though. That kind of makes me glad that AXL pissed me off with all their delays last year and I canceled my order.
Man.... I started using "one wrap" to build my belts .. my god... I can't believe I didn't go to it sooner... I can build a belt in like 10 min vs. 60 min... way more sturdier absolutely no play what so ever ... Walsh I appreciate that advice only pissed I didn't go to it sooner ...
If you like inner MOLLE, give Trex arms speed belt a look. it's actually the only belt I could run with my 25 inch waist size. Also, I'm sure some other viewers have pointed this out, but the purpose of load rating is for the usage of D-ring. mounting cables to helo have quick disconnect, so they don't rely on the cobra buckle to be able to break away.
I bought the belt and tried Malice Clips and there is a lot of play with it OFF your body. There's less play when I put it on, but enough to get a little frustrated. Using DMs MOLLE plus fixes this for me. Right now I'm using DM belt with HRT mag pouches using DM MOLLE plus and have zero play - Not Jason
No, you can set it so the one wrap is between the inner and outer belt. No way the one wrap fails unless your whole belt fails. I just don't see that happening - Not Jason
Really like how they also have an inner pad belt option too! That way you could have a belt that can be thrown over your everyday clothes OR setup as a two piece comp belt
Currently using an AWS LAB belt but it's too big (I lost weight) and have been thinking of trying to sell it and get a new belt for a while now...looks like I know what I'll be looking to get
Interested in what you don't like about the chalk belt. I've had the grid for the last year and it is substantially more comfortable than anything else I've tried and I've tried most
I heard they were playing with curv. Curv doesn't have the memory issues that tegris does so it won't retain some weird shape. Overall curv is a better product.
@@ThinLineDefenseCo I'd send some of the good stuff from over here your way to test, but the shipping is probably going to take ages and I'm still going to need my personal belt for a while

Orion belt with a Kore Essentials inner belt is the ultimate quick adjustable belt.
Trex just released their new belt and it has the same inner Molle features
I ordered before this video was done along with a shit ton of pouches. Been rocking their placards and carrier for over a year. DM never disappoints
The inner belt alone looks worth the buy. You really can’t go wrong with DM.

He has its great but a bear even for Waltz to set up. Or I would have put it #2. Luv the axl
Hey there Walsh!!! I know this is an old video but what is that hanging from the clip on the right of the buckle on the belt? It’s like a shotgun shell holder but with very small loops. I run pyro for airsoft and locally, we use little firecrackers that would fit perfect in that thing!!!
It's a mini chemlight holder. I believe Defense Mechanisms sells it. Don't forget that TLDCO discount code!

You need to do some reviews on kore battle belt and ferro concepts bison
ehh I dunno if I want Ferro to hate me too lol
we did a few on the Kore though!
-Walsh
Does Tek Lok work well on this belt?
Do you prefer the 2" or 1.5" inner?
I like the 1.5 for normal pants but 2 is more adhesion. I'd say most folks want the 1.5 though
Are you guys going to review the new blue alpha gear battle belt lite?
Can you explain how you are mounting your holster to the belt? Is that a True North Concepts attachment?
It is... Or probably is. I'm swapping to the wilder tactical one though

super rigid MOLLE+ but if you're using old school connections I think it would depend. I would do the older pouches with the new connection method
I was going for the blue alpha battle belt lite, and then came across this review.. oh my..

DM makes a belt pad that covers the "hook" on the inside of the outer belt so it can be used alone like the TRex Orion belt.
Can you review the Haley Strategic D3 belt?
which exact color is your mech belt?
just Multicam!
Can't I attach a lanyard or rappel carabiner to this belt?
no .. and I wouldn't do that to any belt with a cobra buckle either

Really down to this belt or the agilite magnetix belt. Such a difficult choice.
Which did u choose

Nice! How's the sizing? What did you order for a 34 waist?
They have a chart on their site that explains the sizing in great detail. Large adjustment range.
The belt overlaps on one side of the buckle, wouldnt this mean that you couldnt run any gear in that spot?
Nope, good question though. It still has the molle underneath and that area performs the same as the opposing side. I should have shown it but I did test that. The gloves are actually hooked in the same way molle would be.

It kinda looks like an upgrade to the g code belt. Same attachment system.

FYI they changed the core layer material from Tegris to Curv. I don't know about the others, but I can't say I like the transition.
I heard they were playing with curv. Curv doesn't have the memory issues that tegris does so it won't retain some weird shape. Overall curv is a better product.

@@ThinLineDefenseCo I'd send some of the good stuff from over here your way to test, but the shipping is probably going to take ages and I'm still going to need my personal belt for a while
Where do you get the Velcro strips to mount those mag carriers onto belt and what are they called?
From Defense Mechanisms. Search "Replacement Belt Loops"
