Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key components of the T.REX ARMS Speed Belt system?

The T.REX ARMS Speed Belt features a two-belt system with Tegris reinforcement for stiffness, a Raptor Buckle, and MOLLE pass-throughs and velcro for attachment. It's designed for modularity, allowing users to attach various carriers and holsters.

How does Lucas Botkin configure his primary minimalist belt setup?

His primary setup includes MARS carriers for Glock magazines angled for ergonomics, a 5.56mm carrier for rifle reloads, and an optional third pistol mag carrier via Tek-Lok. A horizontal tourniquet carrier and chem lights are also included.

What maintenance is recommended for the T.REX ARMS Speed Belt?

Regular maintenance involves using a lighter to carefully singe frayed edges on the belt webbing, especially near the buckle. This preserves the belt's professional appearance and structural integrity over time.

Why are inner belts sold separately from outer tactical belts?

Inner belts are sold separately because the loop velcro on them eventually loses its grip ('fuzziness') and requires replacement every few years, while the outer belt typically remains functional and durable.
