5.11 Tactical Men's 1.5-Inch Convertible TDU Belt, Nylon Webbing, Fade-and Fray-Resistant, Style 59551

It's a sturdy belt that is thick, doesn't budge, and lies flat against my hips. The bulkiness of the buckle does not bother me. (See image 2) Also, to keep the belt from sagging, I wear it with the little nodule on the buckle facing the wrong way. It then serves as a grip, keeping the belt in place as you pull it through the buckle on the other side. (refer to image 1, the tag on the belt is facing outward; you can't see it) It's strong enough to keep my p320 in place, so I can't complain. Not to mention how easy it is to style the sleek black belt. I ordered a medium and didn't have to cut it because my waist is about 33" where the belt sits. It's been two years since I bought it, and it's still in perfect condition. (Images are up to date).

I dislike it when people give a one-star rating due to logistical issues (such as shipping issues), so I'm going in with a review of the ACTUAL PRODUCT. I don't usually leave reviews, but this belt is fantastic. Also, I've been wearing it for four months, and it's not fair to judge a product based on its first use. For this review, I was not compensated or given a product. This is a straightforward statement. to summarize my real-life experience br>br>I'm a BMX trick rider (for fun, but I do a lot of riding) and I needed a belt that was sturdy, held well, and didn't have a buckle that pinches or cuts. What drew me to this belt was the price, the buckle system, the material, and the buckle itself - It didn't let me down! br>br>When I ride my bike, everything is in perfect working order. The "bulkiness" - which appears after a week or so of breaking in - is gone. some have expressed their dissatisfaction with - The ridges that the belt material creates on the buckle have vanished, and the buckle now sits flat when fastened. It's a featherweight belt. I wear it casually and it holds up well; I don't tuck in my shirt when I'm casual, but it looks fine if you do; I'm not a fan of the "tactical" look, but if that's your thing, go for it. It's not overly obvious. br>br>I was hesitant about the plastic buckle at first, but it's fantastic. It eliminates the problems that a metal buckle might have with pinching or cutting, and it's a lot lighter. It's extremely durable; There has been no slipping on my part. The buckle is made of the same material as most buckles and fasteners found on a backpack or luggage (delrin?). br>br>During our two-week trip to London and Paris, I did not remove my belt from the metal detector - It wasn't necessary - It's made of polymer! As a result, any traveler will benefit from this. br>br>This is, without a doubt, my favorite belt of all time. For anyone who engages in any type of physical activity while wearing jeans - This is the one you should buy - However, for casual wearers, a lightweight belt that holds up well is recommended. Also, I can see how this belt is more practical for survivalist gear than any other buckle system. After going on long-distance bike/camping cycling adventures, I could see this belt being useful in other situations. The 511 brand lives up to its reputation for producing high-quality goods.

As another reviewer mentioned, I'm not overly enthusiastic about this product. The buckle protrudes from your belly button quite a bit, giving it a slightly odd appearance. It not only sticks out, but one side is worse than the other, so it sticks out more on one side; additionally, I am a skinny dude with a 32 waist that occasionally goes up to 34. Using the chart as a guide, I decided on the medium. Once buckled, there is about 5 inches of excess belt at my current 32-inch waist; if I ever gain weight again, I think it will be very difficult to cinch up because there will be so little excess length. I'm hoping the fabric relaxes a little so the buckle can lay flat. I believe this is more of a ten dollar product than an eighteen dollar one.

I honestly don't understand why everyone is raving about this belt; first and foremost, don't be fooled by the number 5. Marketing for 11s. They're Condor-style gear at a high price point, most likely made in the same factory in China. I purchased this belt after years of wearing Blackhawk belts (made in the United States), and I simply wanted a slimmer profile belt because both of my Blackhawk belts are riggers belts, which are bulkier. br>br>The first feature of this belt that I dislike is how difficult it is to tighten. The belt gets stuck rather than being tightened by pulling the end that comes out of the buckle. I had no choice but to remove the buckle, feed the belt through, and then pull the slack. br>br>The second point is related to the first: hiding with this belt is a pain because it's so difficult to tighten. br>br>I suppose for 17 dollars, it's not a bad belt, but I've had better luck with the obvious Chinese knockoff brands on Amazon. I'm also not a fan of how 5. is written. When their products are made in China, 11 portrays itself as a premium quality brand.

seven! ) years. For the past four years, I've been wearing this belt every day. I've previously worn leather belts with punched holes and canvas belts with two-inch holes. Metal buckles that tighten with a sliding bar, as well as ring buckles and belts with metal buckles that tighten with a sliding bar. br>br>Not only is this the best belt I've ever owned and the best buckle style I've ever used, but both components work as well as they did the day I got them and show no signs of aging or wear (aside from some minor fraying that I expect won't be a problem for another five years or so). br>br>When I sit down, I loosen my belt, and when I stand up, I tighten it, and it's very easy to do with this belt; I don't have to completely undo the buckle to remove my pants; I can just loosen it up to about a third of the way (my waist size is 35/34); I've worn it with a variety of outfits, including jeans, cargo pants, and shorts. It is completely devoid of weight. There isn't anything wrong with it that I can think of. I plan to use this belt or similar replacements for many years to come. EDIT: br>br> Every word in this review is still true two years later (after a total of six years of daily use). The light fraying that I mentioned isn't showing any signs of becoming a problem anytime soon, as I had feared. Still the best belt I've ever owned; if this one was stolen or lost, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. br>br>EDIT: It's a year later in 2020, and nothing has changed - I still wear it every day and haven't thought about changing or replacing it in the seven years I've had it. I've gained more than 20 pounds! I got married, by the way! In a year or two, I'll see you again.
