Versatility, reliability, and comfort are essential when optimizing your everyday carry (EDC) or other holster setups. The Alias Belt System by NeoMag delivers all of these qualities and more, offering a revolutionary solution that goes beyond the limitations of traditional tactical belts.
Whether you prefer concealed carry (IWB) or outside-the-waistband (OWB) setups, the Alias Belt System’s modular design allows you to customize your carry configuration to fit your needs.
What is the Alias Belt System?
At its core, the Alias Belt System is engineered to increase the carry experience for tactical and concealed carry users by providing a blend of strength, versatility, and ease of use.
Unlike conventional belts with limited adjustability, the Alias Belt System introduces a groundbreaking modular design.
This System allows users to customize their setup so that holsters and accessories are exactly where they’re needed. Whether you prefer appendix carry, hip carry, or any other position, the Alias Belt System adapts to your needs.
Additionally, the Alias System’s modular nature means you can easily switch configurations without exchanging the entire belt, making it a versatile choice for everyday and tactical scenarios.
The Alias System also features robust construction and design.
Built with a Tegris frame and Cordura outer layer, it offers unmatched strength and durability while remaining lightweight.
Known for its resistance to abrasions and wear, Cordura provides a sleek appearance that withstands the rigors of daily use.
Beneath the surface, the Tegris frame delivers unmatched structural integrity. This lightweight yet rigid framework is the backbone of the Alias Belt. It offers a sturdy base for mounting Receivers, Adapters, and other gear while maintaining the Belt’s overall flexibility.
Another hallmark of the Alias Belt System is its ease of use.
With Receivers bolted internally, the Belt slides through even the smallest belt loops to simplify putting on and removing gear. The Belt’s adjustable nature is complemented by its elastic features, which expand and contract with your movements for comfort and fit.
Components of the Alias Belt Setup
Alias Belt Receiver
Central to the Alias Belt System is the Receiver. It serves as the primary attachment point for your holster and other gear. This Receiver is designed for strength, reliability, and easy installation on your Belt so that your setup remains secure and adaptable throughout your daily carry.
Other Attachment Accessories
While the Alias Belt System Receiver is the foundation of your setup, the System’s true flexibility comes from the additional attachment accessories that allow for unparalleled customization.
- Concealment Holster Clips: The Alias System offers a range of Holster Clips to accommodate different carry preferences and gear setups. These Holster Clips are designed to replace standard holster clips and improve functionality and concealability. Each Holster Clip is crafted for specific holster types and offers varying adjustment levels for a personalized carry experience.
- OWB Adapters: The Alias System provides several OWB Adapters that offer flexibility in how you attach holsters and other accessories. These Adapters keep your OWB setup secure, customizable, and compatible with various holster systems and mag carriers.
- Modular Receivers: The Alias Modular Receivers expand the adaptability of your setup by allowing you to securely attach your holster and gear in various environments, both on and off your Belt. Each Receiver type is designed to provide a discreet and stable attachment point from a Magnetic Receiver and MOLLE Webbing Receiver to a Receiver with Brackets that attaches to most tactical belts.
- Beltless Receivers: For those who prefer to carry without a belt, the Beltless Receiver offers a solution by allowing you to attach your holster or gear directly to your clothing.

Setting Up Your Alias Belt
Tools and Materials Needed
To begin, gather the following tools and materials:
- Allen key (included with your Alias Belt System)
- Extra screws (included)
- White rubber bands (for placement guidance)
Installation Tips
- Work in a well-lit area to easily see the Belt holes and properly secure the screws.
- Keep all components within reach to avoid misplacing small parts like screws or rubber bands.
- Test your setup with different configurations before finalizing placements for optimal accessibility and comfort.
Step-by-Step Guide to Attaching Alias Receivers
-
- Identify Receiver Positions: Use white rubber bands to mark potential positions for your holsters and accessories on your Alias Belt.
- For right-handed users, recommended placements are appendix carry in the front, a Receiver on the right hip, and one on the left hip for mag caddies.
- Left-handed users should reverse these placements.
- Secure the Receiver: Once your preferred positions are identified, remove the rubber bands.
- Align the Receiver over the pre-drilled holes in the Belt.
- Insert the provided screws and use the Allen key to secure them.
- Avoid overtightening to prevent damage.
- Finalize Placement:
- For appendix carry, place the Receiver about four slots in from the end to prevent printing.
- For OWB carry, position the Receiver slightly forward of the hip (around 2-2:30 for right-handers).
- Check that mag caddies are accessible, placing them in front or behind the hip receiver.
- Identify Receiver Positions: Use white rubber bands to mark potential positions for your holsters and accessories on your Alias Belt.
Testing Your Setup for Maximum Usability
Once your Alias Belt System is set up, it’s essential to test its configuration. Here are some key tips to help you fine-tune your setup.
Tips for Wearing and Adjusting
Daily wear and activity: As you go about your day, pay attention to how the Belt feels with your usual movements. Whether sitting, standing, or bending, the Alias Belt should move with you without causing discomfort. Make minor adjustments to the positioning of the Belt and Receivers based on your activities for a snug and flexible fit.
Holster and Receiver alignment: Regularly check that your Receivers are correctly aligned. Misalignment can affect accessibility and comfort. If you notice any issues, loosen the screws slightly, adjust the receiver, and retighten. Always check that it’s sitting flush against the Belt.
Troubleshooting common issues: If you experience discomfort or find that the Belt shifts during movement, reassess the placement of your holsters and accessories. Experimenting with different Receiver positions will help you find the most ergonomic setup for your body type and carry style.
Increasing Comfort with Receiver Pads
For those who find pressure points or discomfort due to the Receivers, comfort pads can be a game-changer.
Our Receiver Pads are designed to soften the contact points between the Belt and your body, particularly around bony areas or wherever Receivers are mounted. They’re easy to attach and remove for a customizable solution that is included with your Receiver.
When and where to use pads: Pads are especially helpful for leaner body types over the hips or abdomen. On the other hand, if you have a more cushioned build, you might find them unnecessary. Personal preference and wear patterns will guide your decision.
Transitioning Between Concealed Carry and Open Carry
The Alias Belt System offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing you to easily switch between concealed carry (IWB) and open carry (OWB). This System eliminates the need for multiple belts or holster setups, making it ideal for users who require versatility in their everyday carry (EDC) options.
With the Alias Receivers and various OWB Adapters, transitioning from concealed carry to OWB can be done with minimal adjustments.
- Quick attachment & detachment: The Alias System’s modular design lets you attach or detach holsters and mag carriers. Whether going from a discreet IWB setup to a more accessible OWB configuration, the Receivers and Adapters make the switch seamless.
- Boosted concealability with beltless options: The Alias System also offers Beltless Receivers for users who need to transition between different environments or situations. These Receivers allow users to carry without a belt while maintaining stability and concealability.
- Tuckable design: Many of the Alias Holster Clips allow for a tuckable design, meaning you can tuck in your shirt while carrying IWB for full concealment. When transitioning to OWB, simply switch to your OWB Adapter and enjoy the accessibility of open carry.
