Magpul
Polymer-reinforced hybrid belt with a dress-belt appearance and gun-belt stiffness. Fits standard belt loops.
The Magpul Tejas El Burro is a polymer-reinforced belt disguised as a standard dress belt. The exterior uses a textured polymer face with a flexible inner lining that wraps around a rigid internal stiffener. The result is a belt that supports an IWB holster and loaded pistol without the typical "tactical belt" look that broadcasts you're carrying. For professionals who need to carry concealed in office environments, the El Burro blends in where nylon belts don't.
The rigidity profile is well-calibrated: stiff enough vertically to prevent holster droop, but flexible enough horizontally to wrap comfortably around the waist. This balance is where many gun belts fail - they're either too rigid (uncomfortable, won't feed through loops easily) or too floppy (holster sags). The El Burro hits the middle ground. The standard buckle accepts the belt at fixed hole positions, which is less precise than ratchet systems but maintains the traditional belt appearance.
At $55-65, the Magpul Tejas El Burro competes directly with the Kore X1 on price but offers a completely different aesthetic. If your daily environment requires dress-code-appropriate attire, the El Burro is the clear choice. If you want micro-adjustability and don't care about appearance, the ratchet belts win on function. Magpul backs it with their standard warranty.
