I have been buying Akers products for over 20 years, they are well designed and last for years. I recently purchased this Sam Browne duty belt (wicker) to replace a badly worn one. If you order, go up one size from your normal size (wear a 38 or 40), it's more comfortable and gives you the option to go up or down for the perfect fit over the waistband of your pants. It took about a week to loosen and adjust and is comfortable for 12+ hour shifts. It holds all my gear without sagging with 4 mounts. I have a problem: The TASER holster has a frayed and worn part of the belt, but that can be fixed with leather paint. I would say it's a plastic holster issue, not a belt issue. highlighted.
