I travel a lot and have a belt that has a lot of things hanging on it. Since my old belt was worn out, I got myself a replacement. It's thick, well made and durable. It also looks good. I fitted him with a sheathed knife, holster, water bottle cover, and other pouches. It holds them all well and the buckle is strong and secure. I have a 36 inch waist so I followed her instructions and ordered 4 extra inches = 40 inch belts. Fits exactly.
