Review on πŸ‘” Men's Accessories: Fairwin Ratchet Nylon Belt with Automatic Buckle by Jason Morrison

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Happy little buy under accessories

I have wanted to try a ratchet sling for a long time and recently lost 70lbs so my Bigfoot rifle sling no longer fits. what would be better I'm not ready to spend more than $50-60 on a ratchet just yet, so why not start with something cheaper? I won't compare it to a more expensive ratchet strap because I can't. I can tell you I love this belt so far. First off, let me say that my EDC is a Glock 43 in AG CT3.5, so not exactly a heavy load for this belt. To be fair, I have more EDC gear than just a pistol. Pistol, holster, spare magazine, flashlight, wallet, pen, keys, knife, phone, notepad. All of my gear is light, but it adds up. I was happy to see that the strap itself is stiff and doesn't flex when you flex your fingers. The 1.25" width is thinner than the rifle slings I'm used to, so I don't think it would look 'tactical'. I still prefer to remain a 'grey man', so is that's a plus. The clasp looks good and works well. I've never skipped a punch. Easy to tighten and easy to loosen locking system. I've only had it a few weeks but wear it daily for camp work: jumping, climbing, Lean, lean, turn, etc. Unless it breaks time (in which case I'll come back and update my review) what I don't see is good 5 stars (edit): The clasp on my belt is Broke this morning.The belt lasted about 10 months.
