A non-slip bridge and soft-touch rubber nose pads offer maximum comfort for extended use. MSRP: $159.99; leupold.com

Attractive, American-made and rugged, the Magpul El Burro Belt is constructed from a single, flexible layer of waterproof, reinforced-polymer material that has a tensile strength of more than 1,500 pounds. Custom, corrosion-resistant hardware further enhances its purpose-built design. The result is uncompromising, sag-free conveyance of your handgun. It is available in multiple colors and sizes. MSRP: $59.95; magpul.com

Runtimes range from slightly more than 9 hours to 75 minutes on its highest setting before it needs to be recharged with the included micro USB cable. It can also be powered by a AA battery (not included). MSRP: $83.95; pelican.com
