What are the alternatives to the Wilderness Instructors belt with a Ti buckle? I was looking at one locally and wanted to see what else might be out there for OTW and ITW carry before I dropped $90 on one.

Re: Wilderness TI Instructors Belt
I've never noticed the weight of my belt buckle and wouldn't bother dropping the money on the TI version. I have two 3-stitch I wore for the last 4+ years and a brand new 5-stitch. They're outstanding belts.

Re: Wilderness TI Instructors Belt
I have the 5 stitch and weight is not an issue, but if push comes to shove i can always beat the hell out of someone with my belt.

Re: Wilderness TI Instructors Belt
To me the weight of the steel buckle on the 1 3/4" 5-stitch is a non-issue.

Tony makes a great belt. I alternate between it and one that I made myself.

I had one of these for several years. It worked well, but the eyelets that the hook on the belt goes through started cracking/ripping.

Re: Wilderness TI Instructors Belt
I have had the same wilderness belt for 12 years. For about half that time, I wore it 12+ hours a day when I worked pain clothes. Its the instructor belt with the plastic stiffener in it. I need to have the Velcro replaced soon, but its still going strong.
To the OP, I have two of the frequent flyer belts as well and like them. I no longer have the need for emergency rappel option(that shit hurts) and too cheap for Ti. Just be sure you get it sized correctly.

Re: Wilderness TI Instructors Belt
I have two of the Instructor belts, one with the steel buckle and one titanium, both are 1 1/2". I wear one or the other daily, and I can't really tell any difference in the weight once they are on.
Probably not worth the difference for the titanium, IMO. I have had the velcro on the one with the steel buckle and an older 1 3/4" belt replaced by Wilderness. You can't go wrong with Wilderness belts.

Re: Wilderness TI Instructors Belt
If you can still get the frequent flyer belt with the plastic rings, check that one out. I love mine. Light, doesn't scratch the heck out of your fender if you are working under the hood of your truck, but supports weight just like the others.
