I got mine in 3.5 weeks but this was about 2 years ago.  Worth every minute of waiting trust me the Aegis is the best belt I have owned.  I have owned several belts over the years and they have all failed me either starting to sag or just break.  The wait is for a reason I suppose because they make that good of a belt.

I've had my beltman bullhide for 5 or 6 years now. It's been solid, but it's definitely stretched a little and is sagging.

My second "carry" belt I purchased was a Beltman it sagged on me after about a 1.5 years that is the longest I have ever got a leather belt to last same with my Comp-tac kydex reinforced belt.  My Wilderness belt was ok but it gave up the ghost after about 2 years then I got this Ares Aegis and it is just as stiff as the day I got it but it has formed to my body shape.

I have a blade tech that looks leather but is more of thick rubber.

I have been using a KORE essentials belt for last 2 months.. Love it.  The adjustabilty is awsome.  Works with Jeans or dress.  same buckle works on both brown and black belts.  Its made of 2 super thin layers of leather with a reinforcement between the two.  Paid $76.00 for all of it shipped.  

I carry Appendix..G19. In an eidolon.

Mine was at my door 4 weeks to the day of me ordering.  By far the best belt I've owned.  I honestly don't notice carrying my firearm and spare mag anymore.  Very happy with my purchase!

Literally got my belt in the mail 5 minutes ago.

HOLY SHIT! this thing is awesome, it's stiff as all hell. I have trouble bending it right now to get the tail of the belt through a loop in my pants after it's passed through and locked into the buckle. My gun feels like it just floats on my hip.

Do not bend it thread it through each loop before you pull up the slack.  It will slightly loosen up as your wear it.  I usually wear my pants 2-3 days before changing to fresh so I just leave it threaded through.  It really makes it easy to carry even a heavy pistol and spare mags.

Just curious, Just what did that belt cost?

This. I've worn out a Wilderness and a CompTac with stiffener before getting a AREAS Ranger.

They also do 1st Responder Discounts if that applies to you.  Also, every now and then they will run a sale.  

It took me a while to decide to drop that much $$ on a belt, but since wearing it, I have NO regrets.

I've been using a Volund Gearworks belt with a Cobra buckle for a couple years now. I've got coyote brown as the outside lining color, with a black background. I'm wanting to get an all black one.

Any Ares belt users also used Volund belts, and is it really worth that much more for the belt? What's the big difference, pros, cons of both appreciated.
