Taking a look a the outer belt of the Assaulter belt v2 first and we quickly see that the normal molle has been replaced with tegris. Along the tegris is also the laser-etched GBRS logo.
Moving down the belt, we see a standard cobra buckle and D-ring. The D-ring does not sit entirely flat and uses a strip of one wrap to secure the d-ring in a lower position.
Flipping the belt over, we see the GBRS belt has taken an opposite position to what is on the market and has the velcro loop on the outer belt. This means you can’t use any aftermarket options and the inner belt has to be designed PERFECTLY as there are no other options with this questionable design choice.
The assaulter belt suffers from some odd rigidity issues also where the belt itself doesn’t really benefit from the tegris at all and is barely more rigid than a standard molle belt. But the belt adjustment itself is so tight that you have to use tools at all times, even to make the smallest of adjustments.
Moving to the inner belt, we see where the whole belt falls flat on its face. The inner belt is a two part system that consists of a thin sheet of fabric that does basically nothing. It’s floppy and folks on itself. But since the hook is on the inner belt, you have to use the inner belt cover if you’re not using the full outer belt system.
To use this, you slide the inner belt through your belt loops but then take the outer cover OVER your belt loops. This ends up with areas that can have four different bits of fabric stacked on top of each other. In civilian use, you look like you’re trying to smuggle a car tire.
CCW is also almost impossible as the fabric can be too thick to connect in your holster. You have to undo both sides of the belt cover, loosen the inner cover, then connect the holster, readjust the inner belt, and then reattach both sides of the belt cover.
All of this extra on and off and adjustment nonsense makes for a pretty awful experience when compared with almost any other (not you Eagle Operator) belt system on the market.
The GBRS belt seems to be made for an impossibly niche market and I recommend most users avoid this as an option unless you need this for a very very specific mission set.
