It's finally reached triple digits here and I am ready to shed some weight. Looking for a light EDC belt, preferably fabric. It doesn't need to hold up more than a phone, keys, pepper spray and maybe an lcr (pants are optional).
Any recommendations? I was looking at the Slide Belts.

2As much as I don't like 5.11 as a rule, their belts are nice. I wear the TDU model when the going gets hot.

3Please at least wear short with the belt. I'm fairly certain you'll have a run in with the police otherwise. I wear leather belts with my shorts as well, so no change from winter to summer for me on that. My RockyRiver Leather belt is just fine for all seasons.

Too damn hot for leather. I'm ditching my shoes for something that breaths as well. Just too damn hot here and I wilt with anything over body temp.

6I'm in market for a new belt, too. I was hoping for more traffic on this thread.
Shinzen, how do you like your RRL belt? I've been looking at that one, but.... pricey.

8I actually got a nylon belt from amazon. It's 1.5" wide and black with dull silver buckle.
I added some pouches to the inside, where I can carry a pocket knife, cash, and my car fob.
It's like a undercover batman belt. Love it!

Puffing up is no substitute for smarts but it's a common home remedy

12Belt, Front.
Belt, knife pocket.
Belt, money pouch and key fob pocket.
The money pouch will carry 10 bills easily. Going to put another one one the opposite hip. All items can be removed without taking off the belt, but you'll need to take it off to put stuff back in (pants are optional).
I used "invisible thread", which is a very thin monofilament to sew the 1.5" elastic pieces to the back. On my first try, I sewed the ends of the elastic to prevent fraying. Then I got smart and just used a lighter.
Whole thing cost about 30 bucks.

17https://www.511tactical.com/arc-leather ... -wide.html I got about 6 of these years ago. As I lost weight, I drilled holes in them, and boy, let me tell you, these suckers are sturdy. They're somewhat crinkled from about 7 years of use but show know sign of giving up anytime soon.
