Looking for EDC belts for LEAN guys

I have a base P365 with a WCXL grip module + Hogue grip sleeve on top
10rd flush XL mag etc, no sidecar/extra etc
Holster is a BlackArch Protos-M and I plan on either appendix or 4:00 even.


I'm 6ft 150lbs, ~30in waist, pretty lean/kinda skinny (longer-ish torso I'd say)
No gut to hide anything under sorry 🤣


I know of the options out there in general (Groove, Nexbelt, Hunter, Blue Alpha etc)
I'm wanting to hear from the other guys with a similar build to myself
TIA 🙏🏻

Blue Alpha EDC belt. I have been using one of these for years and they are awesome. No buckle and low profile. The bonus is you do have to take off your belt going though metal detectors.

www.bluealphabelts.com

Low Profile EDC Belt | IWB Appendix Carry | Blue Alpha

Great choice if you want a super small and slim polymer buckle that works well for IWB appendix carry. Two layers of strong, stiff, high-quality 1.5" nylon webbing. Allows for the extra space you need for your daily carry.

Although they aren't inexpensive, I would recommend you look into getting a Milt Sparks leather belt. Mitch Rosen is another great one.
 
I'm not a "lean" guy, but I've been recommending the Hunter Constantine CARRY BELT to everyone. It's not bulky and hold either my G19.3 (with spare mag) or Hellcat Pro (also with spare mag) perfectly with no sag. I also carry a fixed blade in a kydex holster on the same belt.

CONSTANTINE CARRY BELT™

The last EDC belt you will ever need. Comfort and function for the best carry experience possible. Made in the USA. Self-adjusting tension. AIWB optimized.

I like the Carry Belt because it's rigid for AIWB carry, but elastic everywhere else; great if you're doing physical labor or if you're constantly moving.
 
Groove belt and don’t look back. I’ve spent a good amount on belts and the groove imo is the best due to comfort, build quality and concealment. If you plan on carry appendix I’d recommend moving the buckle to the 10 o’clock position to reduce printing.

With your build you can wear many different belts comfortably with different carry positions I’d say. Lanky, no gut.

I have Hunter’s normal daily carry belt and his USPSA-specific carry belt (inner belt, velcro.)

I have hiked Half Dome (50,000 steps, 13 straight hours of AIWB carrying my P-01) with the BELT and it performed flawlessly.

It’s expensive for sure but MiUSA, they were running a sale earlier this month. They also offer a money-back guarantee if you don’t like it. Highly recommend.

Hunter Constantine belt
Agonic EDB

Competitive pro bodybuilder here so I get pretty dang lean and they’re both comfortable and conceal well. I personally prefer the agonic due to the elastic portion being less “flimsy” feeling so I don’t get the belt creeping up between belt loops. But both work extremely well
 
I've been using the Hunter belt for a better part of a year now and it's been a really good belt in terms of comfort and support. For reference, I'm 5'10 and 155# with a 31 waist. The only complaint I have is that the elastic does wear and I am sure I will need to replace the belt eventually. There's a lot of other good belts out there and I'm a big fan of low-profile/minimalist designs. The HC belt checks a lot of boxes for me, but it's not perfect.


Me running Hunter's belt for one of his BELT bounty matches. This would be a plus for anyone who shoots competitively.
 
I have too many belts, lol.

However, the Hunter Constantine is one of my favorites.

Oddly, I also found myself wearing the Agilte Magnetic EDC belt a lot. It is easy to put on/off, rigid yet comfortable, and I can adjust it on-the-fly. They are always sold out though.

Update: I ended up grabbing a Kore with the X7 buckle
I'm also interested in the Hunter Constantine, but figured out I'll start with the traditional sorta style Kore and look into the Constantine sorta hybrid style as an alternative down the line.
I wanna at least start carrying now haha
Thanks for all the suggestions 🙌

Good choice, Ill have to look into the HC as well, I keep seeing people mention it. Kore is solid though, been using them since 2018. I also currently carry a P365 (Fuse).
