Review on Optimized BDU Belt in Black - Universal Fit up to 52-Inch by Fritz Wiest

I am a former soldier and have tried many different types of belts in my 7 years. career. Black Hawk! The brand is a leader in the industry and has a lot of great products in addition to this belt. I still have a desert brown belt that I wore twice in Iraq, but I've since outgrown it due to being disabled and out of shape. I passed it on to my son and the only thing wrong with it is that the black paint on the metal buckle has chipped a bit. That being said and a little fading it will last for years as I'm sure it will. This is a quality product, unlike some other branded belts that have plastic buckles that become brittle and crack over time. I also use the double buckle of the belt on myself through the belt buckle right to left and put it in the slot where the buckle and webbing meet when we went on a mission. This was done to keep it as tight or loose as I wanted. This belt also comes with an elastic piece to hold the end of the belt if it is too far from the belt loop. Hope that helps.
