I've always wanted it... Ever since I saw people wearing this, instead of the $3 sand riggers belt sold at military clothing. It was more than I could handle at first. It's SOLID and fairly weighty for a belt, but it will get the job done. Even odd jobs; I'm sure you could secure this to a vehicle and tow it. Possibly. Drop leg holsters hang effortlessly from it. If we ever crashed, and csar came for us, this and a last ditch bungee strap would definitely make sure I didn't fall out of the helicopter. Belt sizes are a little finicky. Overall an amazing belt, that will probably outlast you.

Pros:
Extreme tensile strength
Parachute grade buckles that you can feel the strength of
Velcro (who doesn't LOVE velcro ? Seriously... If you don't, you'll hate military uniforms and militaria)

Cons:
Velcro adds some noise to taking this thing off. Hampers the covert take off ability of this batman accessory

Bottom line:
If you like shooting, get it. If you're getting deployed, get it. If you want to prove me wrong on this review, don't get it. You will fail

Belt seems to be of good quality, although the small says it goes to size 34, I would go to the next size up if you are 32 or larger.

Having completely destroyed over a dozen leather belts over the years, finally decided to try a web alternative, and now I feel a little stupid for waiting so long. This belt will very likely outlive you. Add it to the list of items in your will, leave it to someone who will use it every day and it will probably outlive them too. It is tough. It is substantial. There is no 'foolin around' with this belt - your pants (and your holster) are STAYING on your hip - period. God forbid you get it caught on a train or something, because you will tear in half before the belt does.

Yes - it's a little on the big and heavy side. Yes - it's too wide to wear with dress slacks. Yes - it takes a day or so to break it in and get it flexible enough to adjust easily. Yes - it's obviously a weapons-grade piece of gear - not much stealth to it. And Yes - you will have to remove it for TSA - the steel is hard and thick.

Great with jeans, BDUs, operator gear and even most duty quality 'docker' type pants (5.11, etc.). Unusable with dress slacks in any fashion, so detectives look elsewhere, but beats the tar out of a doubled duty belt, and carries twice as much more comfortably. No more holster flopping over letting your weapon hit the deck or toilet when nature calls. No more trying to yank up your drawers after a sprint (ever wonder why most belts seem to slip DOWN so easily, but are so darn hard to pull back UP?). No more getting pinched because one hole was just a tad loose and the next was just a tad too tight. No more broken buckle arm during a tumble or scuffle - it's NOT going to happen. IWB, OWB - whatever; your weapon is STAYING with you.

If, every waking hour of every day, you need to carry a weapon or gear, don't have to wear dress slacks, and care more about durability and getting the job done than 'fashion', this will be the last belt you ever buy. I personally think it looks fine (my wife dissents), and when I think about how well it does it's job, it gets as pretty and sexy as a plain but 'healthy' girl at closing time. If you regularly read GQ or shop at Barney's this probably isn't your belt - for the rest of us - it is absolutely, simply perfect for what it does.

Just sayin.

Would I trust my life to a belt? Not until recently, but now, no problem - as long as it was this belt. No surprises, no excuses, no "ifs ands or buts" - that's my kind of gear.

This belt is awesome! Although they are nice, I didn't want to spend the money on an expensive leather carry belt. This belt supports the weight of all my concealed carry guns very nicely. My main carry is a 1911 Colt Commander. It weighs 2.5lbs fully loaded (8+1). This belt combined with my crossbreed supertuck holster is a dream! The clips on my holster are 1 3/4". Which makes them a perfect match for the belt! In addition to making a fantastic carry belt, it also makes for a good survival belt. I wear a Survival Straps paracord bracelet everywhere I go. I go hiking, mountain biking, camping, rock climbing, kayaking, ect.... I can't name how many different uses you could have with this belt and paracord combined. And the bracelet provides 24' of it. When I'm camping I also bring an additional 100' of paracord. I'm a "rather have it and not need it, then need it and not have it" kind of guy. But anyways, this belt is rugged, sturdy, and quality made. For the price, I would say this product is well worth your money. Not that it even requires much of your money, for the quality you get. I hope this review has helped. Take care everyone! God Bless!

I was looking for a strong belt that I could wear on video productions for live events. This belt fit the bill. I thought it might be too heavy and weigh me down, but the belt is quite light. The only heavy part is the buckle, which is very strong and can be used as a weapon.

The belt itself is great, really heavy duty. Here is the skinny: the end goes through the belt loop then Velcro's back on itself. The Velcro is over a foot long, I am a 32" waist, wish I would have gotten a large! I don't suggest this size for anyone over a 30" waist.

I have had this belt before, and after years of use, the velcro finally wore away. Time for a new one. Not only does it hold up your pants, it'll hold you up in an emergency situation! That's what I call supportive emergency gear :-)

This belt wasn't what I was hoping for. I was wanting it to be reinforced, but it's not. This, however, turned out to be a good thing because it's more comfortable. I bought this belt for a CCH belt for an IWB and OWB holster. This belt keeps the OWB holster and what it's holding tight against the body. I currently use a Fobus paddle holster and this belt keeps it closer than the average belt you'd buy at any box store. Another reason why I like this belt is because it can adjust to any size for any reason to get the perfect, most comfortable fit, without any notch holes that you hope to line up perfectly. This is my everyday belt. It looks good on jeans and khakis with just about any type of top, besides the fishnet wife beaters that some people wear (please don't ruin the gun community with these kinds of shirts). This belt is top notch and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a strong, everyday belt.

I used one of these belts over seas and they are fantastic and darn near bullet proof. I would recommend going up 1 size from where you usually order your belts if you plan on running this through the buckle, for day to day wear you can get by with just the velcro, but clearly you would want to use the buckle if you anticipate using the eyelet on the belt for any type of rope work. The reason I recommend the size difference is that the belt is very rigid for the break in period and it can be hard to get through the eyelet if you usually wear a 32-44 belt and are at a 34 waist. just my two cents.

Awesome product!!! Could use better color descriptions and corresponding pictures of the colors to correctly accesorize and match to my fabulous wardrobe. Craftsmanship is superb, Made in America. Also can be used to hang oneself considering the current economic climate. Seriously, it is exactly what I expected and well worth what the price was.
