Hybrid EDC Cobra Belt

Question

Q: I'm curious on two things. First, can you please explain the extra 10$ for the loop or hook velcro on the inside of the belt. What is it for? And second, I'm curious of the quality of the stitching when you're using accent colors. If it's not done really well and symmetrical it doesn't look good. From what I can tell in the pictures it seems like some of the stitching is near perfect and some of it is a lot less than perfect. What kind of assurance can you give me that the stitching will be on the near-perfect side. Sorry if that seems like a weird question but I'm a stickler for that kind of thing and I'm extremely interested in your belts. Thank you for your time.

Q: How stiff (rigid) is your belt compared to say, Kore Essential Belts, or Blue Alpha Gear’s Hybrid EDC Belt? Is your belt adjustable 1 or 2 inches either way, by way of Velcro?

Max,

Thank you for your interest in our products!

Here are my responses to your questions:

First, can you please explain the extra 10$ for the loop or hook velcro on the inside of the belt. What is it for?

The addition of hook Velcro on the inside of the belt is generally for use as an outer or duty belt. Folks who carry a lot of gear like law enforcement, SWAT and tactical types wear two belts; an inner and an outer belt. There is usually loop Velcro on the outside of the inner belt which then mates to the hook Velcro on the outer belt. Locking the two belts together adds to the stability of the entire payload by means of attaching to the inner belt which is the only belt threaded through the belt loops. Loop Velcro to the inside of the belt is generally done for those who have hook Velcro on their holsters, magazine pouches, knives, etc. as a way of locking those items in place on the belt. If you ever arrive at that level of training your instructors will advise you to come prepared with this type of gear. Until then, you’re probably better off without it.

And second, I'm curious of the quality of the stitching when you're using accent colors. If it's not done really well and symmetrical it doesn't look good. From what I can tell in the pictures it seems like some of the stitching is near perfect and some of it is a lot less than perfect. What kind of assurance can you give me that the stitching will be on the near-perfect side.

Here at Deadeye Carry, each belt is hand cut and hand sewn custom per order. We take great pride in the quality of the product we produce and stand behind them 110%. I personally believe we offer features and value that far exceed anything I have purchased anywhere else. It is actually why I founded the company. While we try very hard to make each belt “perfect”, in the end there may be some cosmetic flaws that do not cause any loss of function. A good example would be that the thread might break while sewing a long run of stitching. Trimming that broken thread and restarting the stitch will be noticeable to the eye, but in no way will it cause a loss of function. So, as far as assurances go I will say that if you make note of this in the SPECIAL REQUEST section of our order form we will make a genuine effort to produce a belt that is as perfect as possible. Unfortunately, your opinion on perfect and our opinion on perfect may not align. As an FYI, you are protected by our 30 day return policy. Please read the terms carefully and completely. Let me know if you have any other questions. https://www.deadeyecarry.com/Returns_df_10.html

I hope this answers your questions completely, but let me know if you have any other concerns.

Thanks again for contacting us
Carry On!

A: The accent webbing begins on the inside (or back) of the belt and then runs all the way to where the loop portion of the hook and loop ends - Hope this helps!

They both have Velcro. The real difference is the buckle. The Hybrid should thread through your pant belt loops without unthreading the adjustable portion. The EDC will require unthreading and rethreading each time you use the belt.

They are both great belts, but the EDC style is probably a little more stable when worn due to the way our design locks it in place with Velcro in two directions. The Hybrid style wins on the convenience factor of not having to do all the threading I mentioned earlier. I wear a hybrid every day. Call me if you have more questions.

This belt style has a total adjustment window of about 4''. 2'' up/down from the measured size. We believe our belt is as stiff or stiffer than any other belt we have owned or inspected. Our webbing is made in the USA. We tested many different webbings from a variety of distributors and manufacturers. After the testing was complete we felt that not only are our belts stiffer than the competition, but we were thrilled to have three awesome colors in this webbing. Hope this helps!

Bryan - Our belts have about 4" of adjustment total. With an accurate measurement that's 2" up and 2" down from your ordered size. In general, that seems to work for most people but your results may vary depending upon the amount of gear you carry. I hope this helps, but call me to discuss if you have more questions or concerns. Thanks! Bob
