Belts for hunting pants

Grip 6. no holes

I discovered Grip 6 a few years back. Completely shifted over to them for hunting and EDC. Never looked back. Looks like Kuiu's other belt options are all Grip 6s.

I love the Original Instructor belt! Been wearing one for over ten years very durable and infinitely adjustable.

But not what you want between your hip bone and the waist belt of a pack with 80lbs in it.

As stated by some gentlemen above, the OV Belt HPG carries is an excellent belt for wearing with a pack.

After trying the Kuiu belt and not liking it because of the large metal piece sticking against my belly I use a cheap $15 belt from REI.

I do have the Marsupial as well. For hiking, hunting, and everyday wear I still use the Bison.

x2 for the Kuiu climbing belt. Cut it to length, then round it off and burn the end.

I bought a Marsupial, but never wear it because the square ends are a pain to feed though belt loops. And once you get done fighting the leading end through your belt loops, then you get to feed the trailing end through a few loops also. I put it on once and never used it since.

TRUE. It is not the fastest belt to put on!

The same belt is also sold by HPG (Hill People Gear). It's what I've been using for awhile now.

Actually, the OV belt I linked to is stiffer and a tad bit wider too. Small things but IMHO they make the OV (who make the HPG belt btw) belt better, especially if you (ahem) carry anything on your belt.

I like the Kuiu climbing belt. Comfortable and stays put.

I used the Argali belt the entire fall hunting season. It is easy on and easy off, this belt does not slip or loosen up at all. I have yet to use the field sharpening setup while hunting. It is a piece of gear that has worked flawlessly so far. For me it works so well that I am going to order another one.

Is this belt heavy? How does it work with a pack?

Grip 6. no holes

How are these with packs?

I'd second the Grip 6 belts. I bought a few a couple years ago and have thrown everything else away. No holes, microscopic adjustment, super light and never stretch.

Awesome. They are very thin ( yet strong ) and you don't even feel them under a pack waist belt

The belt is thin and light. I used the belt this past hunting season, which meant that I had a Mystery Ranch Popup 28 with me for each outing. I retired this past September, so I spent many days bow hunting deer. There were zero issues with the belt and pack setup.

“Hunting belt”….?! This is getting out of hand!

 

[Marbles]

I still like my CQR belt from Amazon. Thin, works well under a pack, cheap, does not slip, light polymer buckle. I ground the little tab off the buckle so I could double back, I've found that is not needed however.

+1 for the Hill People Gear belt when wearing a pack. Super adjustable and nothing to catch on your packs hip belt.

Must be camouflage and double as a rope for hanging an elk quarter.

Pretty excited about my Arcade belt. Elastic, adjustable with no slip, slim plastic buckle for under packs.

Blackovis Chockstone belt. I like the stretch factor.
