Jul 21, 2023Atomic Bear Tactical Belt review
REVIEW – The Atomic Bear Tactical Belt has only a few moving parts and none require recharging! The Atomic Bear Company sells survival gear, tactical pens, a knife, fire starters, and cool accessories. But they make a heavy-duty tactical belt that addresses an important aspect of any survival situation. Keeping one's pants secure of course, but also keeping all your belt-mounted gear stable without slippage through the day or night.
The Atomic Bear Tactical Belt is a belt made of black nylon webbing and has a heavy-duty, but not overly heavy, belt buckle.
The Atomic Bear Tactical belt and an instruction sheet.
For a belt? We review lots of electronic devices so ‘Installation and setup’ is a paragraph we cover with most reviews. Clothing, backpacks, and coffee are exceptions. But the Atomic Bear Tactical Belt does require a bit of setup. It comes at a suitable length for pretty big folks but can be cut to fit almost anyone.
Setup is just the process of putting the belt on, getting it to a comfortable tightness, then determining how much length needs to be trimmed off.
The instruction sheet makes the obvious point to cut carefully since you can't put cut material back on. The good old ‘measure twice, cut once’.
I first cut an upsweeping curve when I shortened the belt but found the pattern Atomic Bear used for their original cut made threading the belt through the belt buckle and pants belt loops much easier. I ‘edited’ my cut to make it like this:
The Atomic Bear Tactical Belt stayed put where I cinched it. I have another, less well-made tac belt. I sometimes feel that one slip a bit when I get in the car or lift something heavy. The Atomic Bear belt stayed where I put it until I intentionally loosened it.
I do happen to carry heavy items on my belt from time to time. Part of safe carry is a very secure belt that isn't going to slip and allow the heavy item to sag. The Atomic Bear Belt never let me down. Or my pants.
The Atomic Bear Tactical Belt is right on target, right out of the box. Well, after you trim it. It worked perfectly with tactical long pants when I was carrying items on my belt and was comfortable when I was in casual shorts just serving as a belt. I’ve seen belts no better than the Atomic Bear Tactical Belt with much bigger price tags. I think it's a steal.
