Mean Gene Leather Barbarian Belt
The Barbarian Belt from Mean Gene Leather is the product of a forbidden love affair between a trusty old leather belt and a slick new nylon, Cobra-buckled wonder belt.

The belt is constructed from 2 layers of unsplit “Top Grain” leather that has been sewn together with 277 Bonded nylon thread. 1″ nylon webbing runs between the layers to prevent the leather from stretching. That same 1″ nylon webbing is also used to mount a Cobra Buckle that closes the belt. The result is a belt that benefits from modern materials but looks more traditional.
The Barbarian will be available in Black and Chocolate Brown. It can be ordered in widths of 1.5″ or 1.75″. Check out Mean Gene Leather’s Facebook Page for more details. These belts will be available soon at War Sport Ind. and G-Code. They are handmade to order so expect a lead time before delivery.
You will definitely want to keep an eye on Mean Gene Leather. The Gene in Mean Gene is none other than Gene Higdon, founder of HSGI. So, you could say he knows a thing or two about making gear.
RE Factor Tactical Stuffable SSE Backpack
Wanna see a magic trick? RE Factor Tactical’s new Stuffable SSE Backpack starts out looking like a nondescript 6.5″ x 6.5″ folded lump of fabric but folds out almost instantly into a 20 liter day pack. Magic.
The pack features a large, zipper closed main compartment that also contains the integrated stuff sack which can be used as an internal pouch. There are 2 zipper closed pockets on the front of the pack that can be used to stow smaller items. The main body of the pack is made from 70D nylon to reduce weight and make the backpack packable while the backpack’s straps are made from 1000D Cordura for durability with a Aeromesh mesh lining for comfort.

GWA Trail Belt
We often talk about belts in the context of supporting a concealed handgun or carrying your support gear on the range but sometimes you just need something to hold up your pants. In those cases, you might find the simplicity of the GWA Trail Belt attractive. The GWA in the name stands for Gear Whores Anonymous. If you know their work, you know that they know their gear.
It is a simple and affordable webbing belt that is secured with 2 ITW D-rings. The simple construction and quality components should make it very durable and low profile enough to ride under a “battle belt” or your pack’s hip belt.
