What brand and belt did you go with for $35? Just curious, in the market myself...

I got a 5.11 Operator. It is very well built but pretty stiff and probably not ideal for every day carry. Sorry, should have specified that I only bought this for hunting. So comfort was not as much a concern. However it is cool knowing that your belt buckle is rated for 6000 lbs in case I need to lower myself down a mountain or winch my jeep out :anamatedbanana

I bet any of the other 5.11 belts would be great for every day carry though. And they don't appear to be to expensive.
