I've always been a huge GRIP6 fan and currently own at least 12 belts and a large variety of socks. Unfortunately, GRIP6 has been disappointing for the last year or 2 in terms of product offerings, styles, and item availability. I'll speak of the socks first. I love their normal wool offerings (NOT THE TEKLITE) but all of their new styles, colors, etc. are only available in the Teklite. I own one pair of Teklite socks and won't buy another. They are too thin and no where near as nice as the regular wool. My other complaint is with the belt product offerings these days. For example, I recently purchased the Horizontal Buckle but the Gunmetal version has been out of stock for ages. I had to settle for the Granite. I don't even see the Vertical buckle offered anymore. They've got tons of plain Jane rectangle ones or they may put a sticker on it if you'd like to overpay for it. Overall, GRIP6 makes a quality product, just wish they'd make some changes on their Product team.
