Have any of you guys used these
I’ve used Ares belts exclusively for a couple of years and have a number of them. Can’t say enough good stuff about Jake or his products.
Jakes stuff rocks and he makes what is probably the belt in the biz. On top of that Jake is a stand up guy! You will not be disappointed…
How durable are they any problems with freying
ive worn my everyday since feb 2011 and dont have any problems at all with any of it.
Sweet I’m definitely looking into getting one
Great belt, great company, great people.
I just used during a 2 day pistol class, was in the dirt, went prone, pulled lots of gear on and off it, no fraying and wears well and washed off well when dirty. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Top quality piece of kit. Replaced my riggers belt and never looked back ![]()
Well guys thanks for the convincing lol
I have used an Ares Gear Ranger Belt (1.5") for over a year and it’s been the best pistol belt I have ever used all things considered.
They are worth the wait.
Does anyone know the wait time?
This pretty much covers it. Most durable belt that you will ever own.
I own several of Jake’s belts, and have continually been impressed with them. They will very likely outlive you. That, and if you manage to kill one (tow a bus with it or something…maybe?) he will make it right.
Lead times currently are quoted at 4 weeks on his site, but are likely running faster than that (folks on his Facebook page are mentioning ~2 weeks order to shipment times) That being said, he has several stocking dealers who you can get a belt from RIGHT NOW. LaRue Tactical, Weapon Outfitters, Grey Group, and others.
Thanks for the info Adam, looking into it as we speak.
Larue stocks them… no waiting if they have your size.
I got an all black one from larue with no wait time. My friend got an green and black one from ares. His wait time was exactly 4 weeks before it shipped.
I got a Ranger belt from Larue. Absolutely solid belt. No wait whatsoever.
I have an all black ares ranger belt that I ordered directly from the company. It was worth the wait and the price. This belt is rock solid and a keeper.
Thanks for all the info guys I have one more question how do they run like size do they run big or small if I wear a size 36 what size would I order
You need to take a tape measure through your belt loops and measure the distance. Belts are sized differently than pants, it’s typically about 2" difference.
