Thanks for the unbiased review! Great videos as always. With DM's OneWrap based pouches, if you WEAVE the first OneWrap through the MOLLE slots, then fold the other OneWrap over it, you should be able to attach any of their stuff to the exposed Tegris without them sliding around. On top of it, the hook side of the OneWrap now stick to your inner belt!! I know you already confirmed there is no belt-adhesion issues, but I don't think anyone will say no to additional insurance... 😉
Lol I always miss the simple stuff. Thanks for chiming in to highlight a more obvious way to fix what I had mentioned.

I love the little HRT logos lasered in. Looks good, but I'm loving my DM Mech belt. Maybe I'll populate my DM belt with the HRT pouches
Favorite channel for reviews
Nice, a new review from our favorite belt review channel.
Looking forward to the new T.Rex and updated CHLK/Grid belts. Especially the option to screw a holster directly into Tegris instead of using the horrible UBL or expensive True North seems to be the next step in comfort.
True North is the one to get even if it’s “expensive”. I always say, “what is your life worth?” Well, mine is worth A LOT, so the True North is worth it 🤷🏻♂️.
RIP Skip-It.
Love the solid attachment pieces!
A good work around for the back would be adding some adhesive back Velcro strips onto it. I run a goose ODM for my holster and use this method to not lose Velcro continuity.
It's an interesting design, but I feel like its an unnecessarily overcomplicated product when there could just be cordura sewn onto the tegris like on other belts.
Some exposed Tegris might be the way forward. Have you seen the new holsters that screw directly into your belt from Blue Alpha Gear? Seems way comfier than UBL or True North holster adapters.
So instead of this belt, we need a DM Mech belt with holster screw-in options and canted mounting options for these A+ tier pistol pouches.
Or it’s genius Cause it give you a 2 row size belt but with a way to weave a 3 row setup.. and or have the ability to raise or lower things by preference
Believe me the HRT ARC is the way to go. 1st Gen woven MOLLE is past its time. HRT ARC > ACL Eclipse. I picked up a Gen 1 stitched MOLLE fabric belt also, but the new Gen 2 HRT ARC is 100x better.
There's some good looking belts out now, gonna have to gear up a second belt just cuz. Really liking that DM belt tho, but this looks legit too
Does the RMS play well with the DM Mech molle slots by chance? Or should i just stick with one wrap?
I run the Grey Ghost Gear UGF Belt. Big fan of traditional 2 piece molle belts and I absolutely love mines. But this belt, makes me wanna laser cut style belt 😂
Yeah I tried the HRT Tegris strips... I got one pouch on and it was super solid... but I went back to one wrap ... to damn easy and more than secure enough for me ...
What are your thoughts on choosing belt generation for the application? Example: I understand having the tail of the belt weave in before connecting the buckle makes for a sturdier platform in the latest generation, but in a home defense scenario I just want to bring the two halves together, click it, and go. Probably want a pad instead of inner and outer in that scenario aswell
Take a look at the kore essentials battle belt. It’d be really simple to cinch it up quickly and get business done. I’ve been wearing it for duty use and it’s great
Will you do a video on the Esstac enhanced shooter belt & the Ferro Concepts Bison belt?
You should try and get your hands in a Tardigrade Tactical Quantum Duty Gunfighter belt. It is amazing and the curv feels more natural than most other belts I have tried.
Blue force gear reviews. Im interested in your thoughts on the plateminus v6 or v4 and their belt and mag pouches
DM belt ... thanks to your review. 😎
How do you feel about bridging the gap and using the Defensive Mechanisms inner belt and this Arc belt? Do you think it will work out?
Will you also be reviewing the Trex Arms Speed Belt?
Any plans to check out the Pale Horse Concepts MK3 belt?
Question, is there anyway you can repurpose one of the side sleeves to be a rear sleeve? Thanks for the videos, I think I found the next belt I wanna make a loadout with.
HRT now has rear sleeve add ons! They fixed any and all issues with the open back!
It's nice but not having any Velcro on the back side seems odd. Great review... I'll keep my hopes up that one day you'll give the Bison belt a review.
Of course I literally bought a DM belt 2 weeks ago and now you bring a review out on the HRT belt. I love this belt but I an not a fan of the exposed belt in the rear. Whenever that comes out I'll have another excuse to buy a back up belt... on top of my soon to be back up Blue Alpha Gear/ WPS Belt. I just need to find a good spot to hide it from my wife.
What do you Prefer between the HRT ARC BELT and MAGNETIX by Agilite?
They recently came out with a sleeve for the back you should probably check out haven't seen anyone review it yet or just don't know it was released
They did haha and mine has it on it.... I should do an update
-Walsh
You should consider reviewing the shaw concepts arc v2 plate carrier along with a few of their accessories I would love to hear your thoughts
I've always considered it but for the price I'll immediately say I don't recommend it. I think I priced one out for review at 700+ and I stopped and said "this is stupid".
-Walsh
Need to check out haley strategic belt.
Is the Kore belt not on your list anywhere? I saw you did a video on it but not a video and ranking like these?
You caught us...the KORE was a video I did before we incorporated our rankings. My guess is the KORE would be in the top 5. I like it better than my lead devil belt.

Well, I’m kind of torn. I was worried about slop with the smart MOLLE attachment with the Defense Mechanisms. I really like that I can get an interwoven attachment with this , but that lack of back panel does mess with some of the attachment versatility. The biggest bonus for me is the additional sizing flexibility for those of us who have trouble maintaining a consistent weight.
I think the DM would be better for guys who change their gear a lot, but the most I usually change is adding or removing rifle mag pouches depending on the training I’m doing.
I hoped this review would help me settle whether I should go with the DM or the HRT, but I’m just as conflicted.
If you are looking for rigid, bombproof pouch connections... look no further. These will never slop like OneWrap-based systems. In fact they hold as tight as MALICE, but much lighter. As to rear attachment, if you stick with those Tegris straps you can attach pretty much anything to the back. FYI, pouches are NOT actually ATTACHED to the sleeves - they pass through the sleeve and attach to the core inside. The sleeves are not load-bearing. So weaving pouches at 6 o'clock are no difference than weaving pouches at 3 o'clock. 👊
Hey just so you know HRT has now added extra Molle Velcro backed panels for the open back of the belt! I just ordered HRT’s full suite, could not be happier!
Is that flashlight worth the price tag??
Good morning Walsh.
Do the HRT tegris angled adapters play with the DM Mech belt?
Yes they do. According to Walsh they work very good together
- Not Jason
Good morning!
Review the G Code scorpion assaulters belt.
Will the angled mag pouch connectors work with esstac pouches?
yup!
"I promise I'll review the T-Rex speed belt one day"... suuuuure :)
Only asking because in a class for my armed security license and personally I don't see it.
Possibly a test to see if it could be pulled off with any ease from someone else trying to take your holster or equipment?
Not sure if it was fuddlore or actually something to worry about with velcro adhered belt coming off when yanked
That would be almost impossible. You'd have to defeat two different systems, the buckle being first then removing the belt from the Velcro.
I'd be more concerned that you only have a level 1 or level 2 retention on the holster
@@ThinLineDefenseCo I assumed as much, sounds like the instructors were spreading old john brown gunbelt fuddlore
The gap in the inner belt isn't an issue for EDC if you've got an Enigma :p
Enigma is the greatest holster system ever made
Battle belts!!!
Please review the Kore essentials battle!
we did!
It just was a different team member since he had that belt
-Walsh
Where does the Beez I/O belt sit on the belt list? 11?
No, the Beez is super nice. I need to review that lol
I need more pants to go with all these belts !
RIP skip
Any chance of reviewing the Kore Essentials Battle belt?
czcams.com/video/I1WXne8pAto/video.html yes... it just wasn't Walsh that did that one
@@ThinLineDefenseCo I missed that one. Thanks.
This has to be the best modern application of tegris in a battle belt. The strongest and fastest to adjust with OneWrap. You just have to take two seconds to figure out how to set it up, which shouldn't be a big deal if you care about your gear
You should review the Kore Essentials Battle Belt
I think we did...
I laughed out loud when you accidentally stomped on that skipping toy. My wife looked at me and I thought it best not to explain...
haha it's amazing because the reaction was absolutely genuine lol
I'm still going through the academy so i lack a lot of experience yet, however I do have some with duty/tac belts. I think getting a molle-velcro adapter for the back would allow for a great alternative for lightweight medkits that can hold on velcro while running. It is in no way preferred, but poses some more interchangeability
Ferro Concepts Bison Belt should be on the list too
people keep saying that but I'd just make Ferro mad
@@ThinLineDefenseCo I know the inner will get a lot of flack lol, but I think it’ll rank well in other categories
they'll get pretty murdered in price... particularly with better belts at half the cost. I'm sure I'll do it eventually though lol
@@ThinLineDefenseCo you’re right on second thought you might make some enemies lol
😮
So it’s a piece of Tegris with two pieces of cloth sewn on for the low low price of $175
Just for heads up, the Axl comms skid is just a single cut piece of tegris for $75
this is a deal lol
No love for the kore essentials battle belt
I need to add that video to the scoring... but we did do it already!
czcams.com/video/I1WXne8pAto/video.html
IDK how the HRT can be in #2 if they are pulling a Spiritus Systems by selling you 1/2 of an outer belt. This make HRT belt the only THREE PIECE belt on the market. Unless the back sleeve has some super cool options that vary in more than just color but also function (panel?, pouch?) Maybe it will be cool, but not sure. I am holding out that the back sleeve includes a version that incorporates a med kit or the short zipper panel design that HRT uses on the back of their Plate Carriers. That would be smart, but we shall see.
A back sleeve that takes their half-height zip-on panels would be pretty epic!!
When you gonna do AWS Lab belt? It’s only 70$ made in America and veteran owned
It's basically exactly like the ronin without molle
Lol
Algorithm comment
Got some discomfort
Crye > HRT
Bro, it’s an inner belt. Not an edc belt
yes....but we do the same tests on every belt to be fair
some may not care that it doesn't EDC well, and that's fine. but our favorite EDC belts do both things well.
