I use the Groove belt ever day, both at work as an industrial maintenance mechanic/electrician and I also use it as my carry belt with my Tenicor Velo4 appendix holster. It works great for me and it’s way better than the overly stiff “gun belts”!

I couldn't agree with you more. I've used this belt everyday since this review and haven't looked back...

Thanks for keeping it real 💯 still investing in the wallet and belt

I'm a carhauler so im in and out of a plethora of vehicles and long drives and i been appendix carrying my PDP every day. This belt has been a major blessing. I put it on in the morning and don't have to touch it again till im home or safe inside my hotel room. Awesome belt.

I ordered the Large belt (37-40 in waist). I have a 39 inch waist. After adjusting the belt to fit me, there is still 14 inches left over. I'm giving myself 4 inches of excess and cutting it there. The Groove Life video says to burn the end and press it against a hard surface for a clean end.

Very nice belts I have grey and black they are very thin and stretch a lot so you can use them as a tie down strap and they will fray along the edge over time. hard to adjust to make sure you do it right the first time

Very good points! Mine hasn't started fraying much, but I haven't quite put it through the ringer! Thanks for the comment and use case James!

Definitely not any kind of duty belt by any means but I think it’s fine for EDC. Meaning IWB/Appendix carry. The belt is stretchy but that’s what I think is what makes it great for IWB. It’s just rigid enough to securely carry my 365 Macro W/TLR7 without any slack. The stretchiness solves the issue that I’ve had with more traditional belts of an inconsistent fit when carrying vs not carrying. Since the belt stretches you don’t need to make any adjustments when wearing your holster, just slip on and go on about your day. Still tight enough that engages the claw and pushes the grip of my weapon into my abdomen for good concealment.

I can see why that would be a benefit to carrying. I'm curious if you've carried several times with this belt, how has the material stood up? That was my main concern is that it would really wear it down. It would help the folks on this video for those details. Thanks!

@@GearRulesI use mine every single day for the last 3 years and I use it with a Tenicor holster with the DCC metal clips and it’s held up great! If you know anything about these clips you know how tough and how hard it can be to use them, but even with that the belt has only shown a very minimal amount of wear right where the clips ride.

This belt goes up to 50inchs and if you look on the packet it tells you how to take the excess off you cut all but 6in after you fit it then you burn the end of it and you're done I just purchased the black one I like it alot

Great belts! I've got three of the original size (Black, OD Green and Brown) and just took advantage of their Feb 29th Leap Year promo (29% discount) and ordered a fourth to try the new slimmer belt in all black for my dressier pants with the smaller belt loops.

How do you like the slimmer version vs the original? I have a Nexbelt EDC now and trying to decide which Groove belt to get. I am leaning towards the normal one for the wider belt, however the smaller buckle on the slim is a plus too.

Will this work for guys with big tummies and small bits/hips? My hubby would like a belt that stays up and keeps his pants up. Lately, he’s had to wear suspenders that he can’t wear for a special night out or for the office. He can’t take his coat off or the suspenders will show.

How does it handle an IWB holster?

I have a groove life belt.And I keep having to ajust it,I like my belt to stay snog around my waist .I hate when my pants feel like there going to fall down.

I find my belt needs to tighten every few days. It comes loose. Not sure why. All the reviews I’ve watched, it was said that the belt is a one time adjustment. Stays tight. All in all….. great belt. High quality and strong as hell. Very good looking belt as well.

Reach out to their support. They will just send you another one.

Good review. Do you think that this would work with suspenders? My dad sometimes wears suspenders and has a difficult time finding a belt that would work with them. I live in the Silicon Valley and he's much further east (in Tennessee). So, I'm considering this for him...but only if suspenders can attach to them well. Otherwise, I think that it looks good as a non-utilitarian belt.

Hard to say Chris. the material itself doesn't scream super durable on forces in the direction perpendicular to your waistline, but I haven't tried that out specifically.... Wish I could be more help!

I love the look & operation of the belt, but I just cant justify that price.

Hey James, I'm not expert here on the sizing. They sent me the belt and I didn't pick the size, but mine has a TON of room to spare, so unless things have changed.

That is a really good question, I don't typically clean my belts, but I'll give a go in the washer and see how it turns out. :)

just bought it it, its probably my least favorite belt of all time. impossible to tighten when its around the waist. i am a pretty large waist male and bought the xl. Now it looks nice prolly the best looking belt along with the cool magnetic grips. but again its about tightening around the hips and it does lose its all reliability trying to to tighten. the belt loop also does not work, too lose and too slippery. All in all this belt is mostly meant for looks nothing more.

Silicone rings? Quite the pedigree.

You can NOT wear a black belt with khakis. Get another belt in brown
