Not a 5/11 belt, I got a cheap one from China, looks like someone found it, one sale shouldn't sell this item to anyone Great belt at a great price!.

Mine broke today (the leather tab holding the buckle in place came loose) so I've reconsidered my original purchase. It turns out that I lived without a belt for about 2 years and 3 months (I wore it for several hours almost every day). In general, the rigidity of the belt was preserved and proved excellent for a semi-automatic in a holster with a pair of cuffs and a few extra magazines. For the price, I'll take a two-year lifespan and swap it out. It was worn but I didn't care as functionality

This is my fourth. I use it so much that I wear it out. Great grip, durable, holds the gun with little effort and love the key slot for the handcuffs.

Fits well, thick and durable leather. I don't have much faith in the buckle. For a duty belt, it looks cheap and a bit flimsy. If you like your belt pulled taut so it doesn't slip off, I'm sure the buckle will snap in less than a year, especially if you're active and in law enforcement.

Much thinner and not as stiff as the last three 5.11 tapes I've bought. I don't think this belt will last that long. Leather looks cheap.

I've been wearing this belt every day for 4 years now. He exceeded all of my expectations. The only reason I ordered a new one is because I need a smaller size right now.

I will attempt to conduct this and all future reviews of the products I purchase using the following criteria: quality (perceived and actual), durability, price (compared to similar products), reasonable specifications. Quality: The quality of this belt is very high and the components used are also first class. The skin is smooth, fine-grained. The belt is made from two pieces of leather with a PermaStiff insert in between, giving this product excellent carrying capacity without sagging or…

My last 5.11 tactical belt lasted 6 or 7 years before the stitching started to tear and unravel. It was an amazing belt. I didn't hesitate to replace it with the exact same strap. However, this new belt didn't even last a month before falling apart. After 3 months it was completely unusable. Even the plastic core is cracked. The quality has deteriorated drastically. For a $60 belt, that's ridiculous. I carried with me maybe 3 or 4 times in the first month. I would not recommend this belt to…

A lot of people don't understand how pistol slings are made. Pistol slings can be made from two layers of cowhide or horsehide, making them very thick. Another way to achieve stiffness is to sandwich a layer of polymer between two pieces of leather laminate. This belt belongs to the newest construction. This method is also used with nylon rifle slings (Wilderness Tactical/Instructor). The leather layer on the outside of the belt is thin to make the belt stiff without bulky double layer designs.

I'm a big fan of many 5.11 products and this one is no exception. My waist is about 39 inches and size XL fits me perfectly. There are a lot of notches on the belt so I can gain or lose weight and still have this as an option in my closet. One thing I've noticed with some of the less expensive rifle slings is that you don't have any stiffness in the sling itself. For example if you're carrying concealed gear and you need some stiffness on the sling to support pulling it easily out of your…

I'm a 320 lb guy. I started wearing this belt in early 2011. When my job at the local sheriff's department ensured I would be bound and carry a gun, a friend recommended it to me for its toughness and durability. This is certainly not a testament to my sense of style and there are rare exceptions, but I wear this belt every day of my life. Please do not take this as an exaggeration. Daily. Since then I've just ordered my fourth belt so on average I buy 1 belt every two years. I don't open that…

Good budget belt. Nice clean, unassuming look. The only people at work who know I wear a gun belt are the people who buy and wear gun belts. And they usually have to ask me if I'm wearing a gun belt! Great for not ruffling the feathers and not attracting unwanted attention. Nice and durable when I wear a holster, IWB or OWB. My only concern is that the "forever hard" plastic insert broke on the 3rd hole where I attach my belt. The angle needed to get it through the locking loop seems pretty…

I don't want to rate this product negatively but 3 stars is as much as I can give without being able to test it. I ordered the big one first. I'm 5ft 9in, 175lbs and wear 32" or 33" pants. The big belt was too big. I had 1 hole in the belt after tightening it (without my IWB at the time) enough to hold my pants in order. So I have the long, dangling end casually hanging to the left. With my IWB I still have a very long portion of the lip left of the buckle which was unacceptable to me…
