I wear a 34 waist jean, the large/xl will wrap around me 3/4 back around my body, the small/med wont even reach end to end around me, there is NO in between (Posted on 1/6/2021)Quality Price Value - Absolute Joke Review by Not Buying again

This product is a perfect belly band..great manufacuring...but...The sizing and delivery time is a joke. I originally ordered the small(32" to 39") I wear 34" waist jeans. I specifically asked chat help if that was the right size. She agreed. The band was too small.. The total length of the band was 39". You need to pull the band through the loop,making it only 32" useable. (By the way.. 2 months to receive the first one) I returned it and received the second one.....WAY to big. It loops and goes almost to my back, adding girth. Hey Alien gear...CONCEAL! There used to be 3 sizes when I ordered, now there is only 2...I have to go to a seamstress to make this work now...What a joke....embarrassing (Posted on 11/30/2020)Quality Price Value Alien Gear Holsters responded:

(Posted on 1/13/2021) - Arrived very timely Review by Misha

Pros:Quality Price Value
Very satisfied w/ how the belly band was packaged and shipped. It arrived as expected. The quality of material is excellent. With a little bit of adjusting my Glock 43x fits well snug. The band itself fits securely around my waist w/out fear of movement.
Cons:
1) I may have received returned items. Noticed a scuff mark on outer slide area of holster.
2) The stitching near the belt metal loop is unstiched by about 1/2 inch, and I'm sure will continue to unravel with everyday usage. These aren't "big" problems but for $95 I wasn't expecting to have these concerns. I know I could send it back for exchange but don't really see the point of paying again for shipping. Hopefully I'll he able to fix the band with my limited sewing skills. (Posted on 11/27/2020)Alien Gear Holsters responded:

I believe Matthew's review is spot on. There is no other band like this one. The idea to create this band that allows for you to use their holster clipped inside the band makes a perfect combination.Quality Price Value
I was never happy on how the other band's are generically made to one size fits most. I love the idea of having it utilize a true IWB holster that allows the gun the fit perfectly and covers the trigger for safe carrying.
I think it's worth every penny spent on it. I will certainly be purchasing other IWB holster here for my other pistols. (Posted on 3/12/2020) - Great system Review by Merv

I really like this belly band system. It is comfortable and using the standard IWB holster is a big improvement over other systems using elastic/spandex. The spandex systems can get caught up on the gun when drawing whereas the IWB allows for an unhindered draw while the belly band provides versatility in wearing the holster with casual pants without a belt.. Great for when I wear jogging shorts while out on a walk. (Posted on 11/4/2019)Quality Price Value - Great buy Review by Nelson

I bought the Sport Tuck Belly Band holster, it is the best buy I've made. I have been CCW for a couple of years now. I could no longer wear sweats or sport shorts. Their was not a safe way to carry in these type of clothes. Alien Gear has now provided a safe and secure way to carry while wearing sweatpants or sport shorts. I can now go back to wearing something comfortable on my off days. I had the belly band for about three weeks and have used it several times, it works great. It is comfortable to wear and is completely concealable. I highly recommend this holster. (Posted on 7/5/2019)Quality Price Value - Fantastic product. Perfect for hiking, running, or walking Review by Matthew

Prior to purchasing this product I owned and used a competing belly band product (the most popular one, you've probably seen it). I use a more traditional IWB holster most of the time, but in the morning I take my dog for long walks (sometimes full-on hikes), and on those I am often wearing shorts or sweatpants without any belt from which to suspend a more traditional holster. The belly band is perfect for that. However, I didn't like that on the competitors product didn't have anything securing the trigger other than some stiff cloth. In fact, I found that I was able to stick my finger into the trigger area on that product and pull the trigger. Not cool.Quality Price Value
So when I saw the video on AlienGear's upcoming belly band holster, I immediately placed an order for it. I've used AlienGear products before, so I was comfortable ordering sight unseen because I know they are an ethical company that takes pride in their products.
Today the Sport Tuck Belly Band showed up. It took me a little while to figure everything out, because I was not familiar with their new ShapeShift product line, and I was a little confused about how to adjust the retention (I had to adjust it quite a bit, as it was completely loose when I got it). But once that was done, I put on the holster, and I couldn't be happier with it.
Here are some things I like about it over the competition:
- The trigger is completely covered by hard plastic (kydex?)
- The holster can be adjusted to whatever amount of retention you want. There is no cumbersome strap to pop loose and potentially get in the way when drawing or reholstering.
- To band loops back through a metal buckle on the end and then holds down with Velcro. This gives it a two-to-one mechanical advantage over the competition's design, which means the band can be narrower and still be able to adjust as tight as you want it.
- The band is about half the width of the competitor's product. This means on hot days you will sweat less.
- The band fits in with their modular system. You can switch holster types, or even gun types (assuming you completely switch to a new gun, otherwise better to buy another).
The Sport Tuck shares the positive attributes of the other belly band I've been using. Specifically, it's very comfortable, and works with a wide range of clothing, even gym shorts and t-shirt.
Great product. If a belly band is what you're looking for, I can recommend this product without reservation. (Posted on 6/29/2019)
