    I just received my gun metal and Olive colored one. As a retired Federal Law Enforcement and current investigator I can 100% relate as I too have a bunch of tactical belts! But since being retired I have acquired a nice “Beer tumor” and now I don’t have the problem of the belt digging into my Beer tumor. The Groove Belt is stiff enough for my tac gear but flexible enough to be comfortable. “GL” on the buckle really stands for “Gun Life”….lol…Great Video!

    I bought a Kore belt and I really like it, but being a bigger dude the inside of the Kore pinched my stomach when I sat down. If they rounded some corners and slimmed down the actual ratchet mechanism it would be much more comfortable. I’m digging the design of the groove life belt. It looks way more comfortable.

    I just ordered my 2nd Kore belt. The ratcheting buckle is well made. Much better than the generics I've ordered from Amazon which would occasionally lose their bite on the belt and have to be reset. The leather Kore uses is unimpressive though. After 1.5yrs it is beginning to separate in some places.

    I've tried this belt simply just for work, and while I do love the buckle style 100%, I found there was an issue with the belt loosening over time. It does not stay in place like they advertise, you almost having to readjust it because it will slowly creep out of tension position with wear through the day. There is nothing from making sure the strap does not creep back through the loop once you adjust. It feels like the strap is held in place, but without a second tension loop, it just allows for the belt strap to creep through the buckle as you wear it.
    Personally I still use either KORE, or my usual is Blue Alpha's "minimalist" belt. Because with it, while it does use a loop system, you "lock" it into position by velcroing it into place which keeps the belt from loosening.
    Awesome buckle, flawed tightening design.

    Backed the Kickstarter campaign and did not intend to CC with it, but after running my G43X T1 Axis slim with it for a few months, I have to say it's quite amazing. Never had to readjust the size since the buckle keeps the sizing, and it holds the weight well. It worked fine with the belt clips that come with the T1, but I ended up switching to Ulticlips about a month ago, which is a pretty good combo as the belt keeps it tight against my body when I wear pants with belt loops, but since I go out in sweatpants quite a bit, having the ability to switch quickly is nice.

    I gotta say I sent mine back. With the G17 + X300U and a plus 1 mag the stretchy ness of the belt really put a lot of pressure on my lower back after a long amount of time.

    Very nice.
    I currently wear the NexBelt for casual and everyday use when I carry, and a brown or black Kore belt for carry at church. The buckles on these other belts are quite bulky on a skinny guy.
    I like how easy they are to adjust, but the super thin buckle on this belt might make me jump-ship for my EDC belt. The NexBelt is super stiff, which isn’t always comfortable.
    This one appears to have great rigidity, but enough give to flex with movement.
    How difficult is adjusting this belt?

    I got a Groove Belt a few months back. Simple and comfortable for every day USE. Notice I did not say every day CARRY. My personal experience, the belt is NOT rigid enough for the added weight of my M&P Compact or Glock 43X. The Groove Belt videos show the belt being extremely tough to fold - wholly inaccurate. Good looking belt for general every day use but would not recommend for every day carry.

    I got sold on the GL belt because in commercial they made it seem as if it was fairly stiff, and the buckle was easy and simple. Unfortunately the rigidity is NOT there. This belt is designed for comfort and flexibility, and accomplishes that well, but like mentioned in this vid, you don’t want to overload it. That happens VERY quickly with this belt. Compression seems to be the major factor in keeping your holster in place with this belt. I only saw this vid because I’m 3 weeks put from receiving the GL belt looking for something better. Buy with caution folks.

    Jukmo and grip6 are great. Grip6 just needs to be a size up for edc. Also grip6 is made in America so that’s a huge plus. The jukmo has a little stretch so it’s super comfortable for edc, especially when you sit, it’s stretches to account for the change in angle. Also it’s $17. Both belts are super strong and really thin. The grip6 is really thin and still retains. The jukmo is slightly thicker and I usually wear that for edc and use the grip6 for casual/slight edc. Super minimalistic too. Grip6 is only $35 too

Every so couple of months I'm forced to buy him new belts because they break down so fast it's not even a joke. I'm just looking for something more durable, and I think this might be it. Because if people thar use guns and other things on the belt to holster stuff say the belt holds well under stress. Then there's a big chance that for the regular guy that just uses the bell to hold his pants that should be OK I'm just looking for something more durable.
