We all like our high speed gear don't we...?
Are you more of an issue SM or do you have the subscription to Ranger Joe's and routinely buy cool-guy-gear?
What cool guy gear do you wear the most in uniform?
For me, it's Speciality boots, a knife on my hip, and the cool guy riggers belt that I have never used for anything high speed...too funny.
I've seen it spread through a unit, once a NCO authorizes the Rigger belt, everyone has to get one.

When I need things based on the job, I have them, but as my duties remove me from need, I carry less.
Motor pool: multitool, flashlight, knife, steel toe boots
Field: multitool, mini flashlight, knife, .50 cal gauging tool,
Office: multitool, laser pointer
But I do like the Velcro rigger belt I got years ago regardless!

The real question is do you actually need a riggers belt? Are you a rigger, or plan on doing any climbing anytime son? Most people would say no. If you do not need a piece of equipment then what is the point of buying it? There are to many soldiers who go out and purchase 'high speed gear' just to look cool, when in fact they have no need for it
Personally I have almost an entire load out of stuff that I have purchased over time because what the army issues is usually garbage. I buy gear that is comfortable, functional, or improves my life. Just cause we have to suck on a daily basis doesn't mean we have to be uncomfortable.
The closest thing to compare to a riggers belt is the Custom battle belt I made to replace a CLS bag. It consisted of a issued tan belt, a basic battle belt (with molle) and then 6 medical utility pouches to hold different supplies.
