I'm 1.82 m tall, weigh 90 kg and I have to decide all day long whether I want to constantly pull up my pants or make my waist uncomfortable. I wear tac-lite pants 5-7 days a week. and they have some elastic at the waist, but all the stuff I carry in my pockets overcomes that. I'm fapping. This belt stretches just enough for comfort but is durable and doesn't feel like an elastic band. Excellent paddle holster support and probably a great option for a more comfortable carrying of the IWB. I'm a 36" and have the big one and it has about 8" of extra sag. If you don't want to cut off the beautiful factory end, you can safely scale it down a size or two.
