Nexbelt Thin Bar EDC Ratchet Belt, 1.5", Black The Nexbelt Thin Bar is a ratchet belt designed specifically for appendix carry. Its compact buckle leaves room up front for a holstered handgun and even spare magazines, and the hole-free ratchet strap lets you set the fit exactly where you want it. This listing is the Black version, Nexbelt part number PCS1763. Built for Appendix Carry A standard leather belt with holes forces you into fixed sizes and a bulky buckle right where an appendix holster sits. The Thin Bar uses a compact buckle that can be worn front and center, on either hip, or near the back curve. Its flexible design lets the belt and your carry gun move with you through the day, which limits the jabbing that is common with appendix-carry belts while keeping the gun secure. Although it is designed for appendix carry, the belt is sturdy enough to switch to IWB or OWB on the hip. Buckle The push-button trigger releases quickly when you need it and stays firm while you move. The buckle is finished in Granite Black, a textured powder coat for increased wear resistance, and is held to the strap with three stainless steel set screws rather than pins (patent pending) for a more reliable hold. Buckle size is 1 1/2 x 1 11/16 inches. Strap The strap is made from a super-high-density microfiber material, a composite of ultra-fine polyester fibers. That gives it the stiffness to carry a holstered handgun or everyday tools, so it also works as a work belt. The backing is sweat resistant, the strap is close to 3/16 inch thick and 1 1/2 inches wide, and it fits up to a 50 inch waist.
