Perfect for OWB
I already own and use the Vedder Cobra belt. But I bought this for my OWB holsters and it works great. For those who want to own just one belt for both types of holsters, this would be a greet choice.

EXCELLENT (Update to my 15 Mar 21 review)
Kailin contacted me and suggested a stretch band keeper as a possible resolution. I agreed to try it and problem SOLVED. This belt went from Almost Excellent to Excellent. The keeper compresses the loop at the non-buckle end of the belt so the buckle fits neatly and does not slip out under load. Thank you for the Outstanding customer service, fast response and fast shipping. I really wanted to love this belt and now I do.
Finally!
I’ve tried several different belts for AIWB carry over the years. Leather, nylon, some with buckles, some with velcro and some with both. This belt is awesome! Adjust it to your length and your done. No more wearing out velcro or fighting tactical buckles through your belt loops.
Great design and workmanship. I highly recommend!!
Almost Excellent
I've been wearing this belt for a couple weeks now and, for IWB, it works pretty well with some slippage of the hook part of the buckle even when cinched tight (IWB: Sig P365XL w/ optic, spare 15 round mag and IFAK). However, OWB is not so great as the hook comes loose frequently. Again, this is when the belt is cinched tight. The weight of the gun pulls the hook loose ie. it slips off the belt causing the belt to pull out of the belt loops and drop. (OWB: Beretta 92G Elite LTT, spare 18 round mag and IFAK. I also tried IWB with a base Sig P365 and IFAK and it worked fine. In other words the ability of this belt to handle more than minimal weight is questionable at best.;

V3 Gun Belt
Easier to adjust than the vedder belt with cobra buckles and very slim in the front.
Great Gun Belt
Very heavy and durable and sits quite comfortably.
V3 Belt
Great belt that carries concealed well and comfortable. Easy to don and take off. Plan to buy another soon.
Best heavy nylon belt!
I love this belt. I have evolved over the years with nylon web-style belts starting from my time in the US Army. The garbage belts I was issued did little more than simply holding up my two piece flight suit. After the military, I worked in the firearms industry for a while and used a 5.11 belt. It wasn't anything to write about if there were multiple items with any real weight mounted. After I went into law enforcement, I started using Ares Gear belts because they were heavy, thick, 2-ply nylon belts that wouldn't bend, crush, twist, or otherwise warp, but those are in excess of $120! Before I left law enforcement, I started using a Warfytr belt of similar design to this by Vedder. It was nice in that it was sturdy, simple, and easy to don/doff; however, the adjustment style wasn't working well. Then, I received an email from Vedder Holsters about this belt. I figured, "Why not? It couldn't be any worse than some of the other belts I've used, right?"
After using this belt, I don't think I'll wear any other nylon/web-style belt. It's sturdy, has just enough flex so as not to be restrictive, works well with just about anything I wear, and is affordable! I have another in my online cart right now!
If I have to have one negative thing to say about it, I think it would be nice to see the same belt, but with loop-side Velcro on the outside of the belt so I can run my Blue Alpha Gear outer belt without having to change this one to the BAG inner belt. It's only a minor inconvenience, but I'm certain it would make a lot of 'tacticool' folks, myself included, very happy.
Other than that, great belt. It will fit just about any of your EDC, range use, duty belt, casual wear, etc. needs. Cannot recommend enough!
Great belt for a pants party
Ladies and gentlemen,
Can I please have your attention, I've just been handed an amazing new product. I need you all to stop what you're doing and listen...this belt is FANTASTIC! I need to always protect myself because...I don't know how to put this but, I'm kind of a big deal, people know me. The V3 belt allows me to do this because it's low profile and can be secured and removed similar to a regular belt due to the buckle design. I tried to find a good way to compact the loop portion of the belt after sizing, so I opted for Tuesday during my arms and back workout, creasing it in the crook of my arm while doing over a thousand bicep curls and then placing under a stack of many leather-bound books. Thank goodness for the buckle system and not having tons of velcro to undo like other belts on the market, because I was barely able to lift my right arm. Carrying everyday is boring, but it's part of my life. When I wear the belt I think...I look good, I mean, really good! With this belt no one thinks I'm packing, don't act like you're not impressed.
Stay classy...wherever you are
V3 Belt issues
Good belt for everyday wear. Like some other reviews stated; the loop where the buckle connects is quite large once you get the belt to fit you. It is hard to get a holster to fit correctly in the appendix position due to the large loop opening. Would be helpful to have a sliding loop keeper (metal or delrin) to minimize this. I designed a make-shift loop minimizer out of a Ranger Band. However, it hangs-up on the pants while threading through the belt loops. In all; the belt is comfortable. I wear it as part of my duty uniform or w/ casual pants/jeans. Please develop a loop keeper.
*VH COMMENT*
Thank you for taking the time to review the new V3 belt. We are so sorry to hear that you are not 100% satisfied and we are happy to assist! The belt is very rigid and stiff out of the box however, there is a break in period where that loop area that you are referring to will set and not stick out so much. You can help move this along a little faster by creasing that area and laying something heavy on it over night. I hope this helps. Please feel free to reach out to our Customer service team with any additoanl questions. Have a great day!
Belt
Put valco on other side not crazy about buckle and name on other side

I want to like it, I just don't
I want to like this belt but I really don't enjoy wearing it. The velcro used to create the loop feels cheap and is annoying when sizing the belt. It also tends to fall out of the pant loops when "doing your thing" and can be hard to keep in place. Additionally, I don't like that it creates a giant loop that is reinforced so it doesn't compress down well. I understand this loop is necessary for the design to work but it isn't for me and I assume a lot of others won't like it either.
Aside from this, the belt is very sturdy and holds both of my holsters well without falling but I don't like how it looks aesthetically.

Another awesome EDC belt
Vedder did it again...this is a simple but rugged belt and very low profile. Turning the Velcro to the inside of the belt is genius! The buckle is simple and low profile...I wasn't sure how this would compare to the cobra buckle, as far as holding up you gun for AIWB, but it is virtually just as good and prints even less...Great job Vedder! Thanks for offering great products!
Good belt for clip on type holster
I like the belt, thin, strong and well made. The issue I have is if I'm using a holster that has belt loops, the belt is a little awkward. I have several different holsters I use depending on my activity and there are other belts that are better in order to use a variety of holsters. If you only use holsters with a clip, this belt is good and I do use it for that type holster. Be aware, be responsible and have a safe and wonderful New Year.
V3 Gun Belt - Awesome
The V3 Gun Belt is just what I wanted for AIWB carry. It is supportive and very comfortable. Vedder wins again over the competition. I intend to get another one in the other color as soon as i can.
Best Low Profile Belt...Period
I have Vedder's leather belt, and that was my go to for the longest time. The only problem was it was pretty thick at the buckle. I tried the cobra belt, and it was nice, but the buckle again stuck out more then my carry did. Along came the V3. Literally all of my problems have been solved. Stiff, thin, and no buckle print. It is easy on and off, and pairs well with my VP9 and spare mag setup. I can see this being my favorite belt for a long time!
V3 Gun Belt
Just received my V3 Gun Belt. It is everything I expected from a Vedder product.As advertized once on you never have to adjust it again.It holds all my carry guns without any sage in any of my Vedder holsters or any others.It's light weight makes it more comfortable to wear then the heavy leather ones. I gave it 5 stars but it deserves 10. Another great product from Vedder.
