The Aegis Enhanced Belt- Ares Gear costs around $121 and the original Wilderness Instructors Belt costs around $43. I could get almost 3 Wilderness belts for the cost of 1 Aegis Enhanced Belt. I have been wearing a 5 stitch Wilderness belt for a little over 2 years and it shows almost no wear, is still stiff, and the velcro is like new.

I did look at a few reviews of the Aegis Enhanced Belt and it does look like a good belt, but it is a bit out of my price range. Here is one of the reviews I looked at http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2015/0 ... egis-belt/

I originally got a 5-stitch Wilderness Instructors Belt for IDPA competitions. It is nice and stiff (i.e. I can't collapse the belt when I try to squeeze the top and bottom together), but it's flexible worn around the body. For competitions, I can have up to 4 magazines plus the gun on the belt with no sagging and it is still very comfortable.

I used to wear a very nice leather gun belt at work, but about 2 years ago I switched to wearing the 5-stitch Wilderness Instructors belt everyday and I have not looked back. The main issue I had with the leather gun belt is that it would jab me in the side sometimes when seated and leaning either left or right. The Wilderness belt even works with shorts in the summertime provided you get the 1.5 inch wide belt. On the flip side, the leather gun belt would rarely fit the belt loops on my shorts so it does not get much summertime use.

Just make sure you follow the instructions for sizing the Wilderness belt.
