I got this belt as a simple replacement for shorts and to get through security at the airport. The nylon webbing is much thicker and smoother than I expected. It loosened up throughout the day and I had to tug and pull up my pants a few times. Maybe it's a buckle error, but nothing serious. I'm not a cop, but I don't think this belt is stiff enough to work well as a heavy accessory duty belt (compared to Double 5.11). duty belt).
