Good hard belt, great for holding pants and supporting gear like phone, knife etc. I haven't had a chance to try leather and kydex holsters yet. Only complaint is minor. When adjusting the position of the gear on the strap, sometimes the body of the phone rested on the free end, weakening the entire strap. But it drags on quickly. To be fair I spent 0 time working with the nylon webbing so it could be that the webbing is new and therefore stiff. The belt dries quickly when wet from sweat or rain. The buckle is heavy enough to be "functional" if you know how to use the belt as a tool/weapon.
