Excellent combat belt for its price. While there are better samples out there (HSGI, 5.11, etc.), this one is very good value for money. I was initially skeptical about buying this belt and leaned towards other, more expensive brands. I looked at the Condor version as a cheap way to test out the concept (and initially bought an environment that was too big for me), with plans to 'upgrade' later. However, I occasionally teach at our LE academy and have observed several students using (really abusing them) these straps. They've held up very well to everyday use, on the range, in DT classes, full contact force scenarios (aka red man drills), etc. If it can last 6 months, it's for occasional use suitable, which most will see this belt. I'm an investigator, not a commando or patrol officer, so the concept of a combat belt is great when we need to get ready quickly. . It also keeps gear in low gear so there's nothing when watching the car. This allowed me to get this setup without breaking the bank.
