Stache N.A.C.H.O Belly Band, Low Profile Belly Band for Concealed Carry

I am an active LEO and wear a firearm every day. Much of my time is in plainclothes, and I have struggled to find CCW items that are acceptable and safe carry for someone who actually needs certain things on the weapon, including a weapon light 24x7. (IE, you should not be drawing and shooting at things you cannot see, lest you shoot something that you should not shoot). Every belly band to date that I have tried does not have room for a weapon light. Most have awful retention of the weapon, which really is not appropriate, whether you are doing exercise or actually working where you need retention. This is the first product where I have seen a belly band, and you can use your own kydex IWB or OWB holster to attach to the belly band. It really works; and it really holds it tightly. This solves all the problems outlined above, because it will hold your weapon light, and of course is designed for retention. This product is truly transformative for me. I am now able to wear sweatpants, or track pants, or other athletic wear, while also carrying my duty weapon, light on, and being perfectly secure and retained at all times. If you are looking for any type of athletic or non-belt carry, you need to buy this Blackhawk Bellyband right now.

This product is a great design, very comfortable and holds your holster well. The issue is the size recommendations as to your actual waist size is off. Look at the chart and go to the higher size of you waist.. I purchased a large that was very thight had to return it and purchase a XL, that fits perfectly. When it is not practical to wear a tactical belt this product is a must , works very well with work out clothes and quite comfortable..

It gets the job done. I bought this to use when on walks, etc. It is comfortable and secure, keeps everything from moving around too much. The velcro is strong and there is no fear that it's going to come undone. However, it does take some attention to getting the concealment right.

Every 2A advocate has the same problem. How to safely secure a firearm in a way that permits quick and easy access. I have not found a single holster that is a one and done, which is why I have multiple holsters; each holster serves a specific need. In the belly band lineup there are a lot of options, but the N.A.C.H.O Belly Band is my choice and here’s why. Pros - It will pair it with your own IWB or any other IWB holster. - It has an incredibly secure piece of 1.5” nylon webbing where your holster attaches. - The band is made from a double layer scuba belt (not neoprene like others). This is made to last and not stretch out over time. - integrated pockets to carry extra magazines, so there is no need to use Velcro affixed magazine holders. Cons - While the Velcro is secure and it fits perfectly, it could have a little more Velcro to allow more adjustment. - Runs small, order one size up. Comparison to other belly band holsters - Other belly band holsters are made with a neoprene material which will stretch out over time and retain in heat - especially in the summer. - You have to rely upon their system to secure your firearm which is basically a stretchy cloth pouch, and as a result it’s not nearly as secure as pairing with an IWB holster because this area also stretches out. Conclusion This belly band runs small. I would order one size up. I am saying this because I originally ordered the size according to the size chart and had to order a size up and now I have a belly band that fits perfectly with a IWB holster that safely secures a firearm in a way that permits quick and easy access. Definitely give the N.A.C.H.O Belly Band a try.

You'll love this if you want to be comfortable all day long. It's lightweight, and feels good around my waist. It's a little tight in the beginning but after a few times it becomes like a comfortable old pair of jeans. It's great for CCW no printing with a light shirt.

I was looking for one of these for long time and is exactly what I was looking for. But then at the moment of wear the happen ->The stitching is loose—about 6 inches at the top and 3 inches at the bottom of the belt. I wear a 38–40” waist. As soon as I put the belt on, the stitching comes loose. Looks great, feels is a good product but quality not so great.

Well made but not for my body type. I have too much gut and it squeezes me like a water balloon into unnatural looking shapes. So people either think I’m a genetic freak or know I’m wearing a belly band and therefor armed. Back to a good belt and suspenders for me, can’t go wrong.

I bought this to use while wearing sweats or shorts, and it is durable, secure, and accommodates whatever holster I used. I’ve tried other “belly bands” but they were cheap and flimsy. I prefer this belly band, because it allows me to use my preferred holster with it. Also, because it allows me to use my preferred holsters, there’s little to no muscle memory changes when drawing.
