5.11 Tactical Men's 1.5" Trainer Belt, Strong Mesh Construction, Rip Resistant, Matte Steel Buckle

In love with this belt second one I bought in 2 weeksfirst one I bought was off of the official 5.11 website I ordered a size too big was still usable and worked ok to keep my pants up even with all of the things I edc for work 8 hours a day not uncomfortable at all however belt was a little too big and wasn't able to tighten to the point I would need to carry a firearm (full size handgun) and because of that the gun would sag ever so slightly now I can't and don't carry very often at all because I can only open carry at my age in my state and can't get into a car so it's only when I walk the dogs or explore the nearby woods .. alone .so I just got paid and said what the hell im buying another one that properly fits and being the impatient person i am I bought off of Amazon for the fast shippingPlus since I already had a confirmed genuine belt from the official 5.11 website i would be able to spot a fake right away.. however that was a non issue belt arrived super fast chose 1 day shipping lol .. (impatient and had the money lol .belt was and is indeed the real dealBelt fits perfectly wear a size 32 pants and ordered the medium fits perfectly:)And supports the gun much betterThis belt is super ridged and Won't bend over unless you really force it ! Plus the 6000 lb rated buckle is a really nice plus really nice having that just incase I have to climb up high for work which could happen lol since anything is possible at my job ... and where I work it's a great tool and belt love it !Love knowing I can clip in and even rappell from a high point in an extreme emergency which the belt was designed for only for EMERGENCIES ONLY !!!Not designed for regular rappelling!!!But nice knowing it's there JUST INCASEPLUS the look on people's faces when you tell them the belt buckle is rated to 6000lbs ! very overkill but i like overkill lol anyways I love the belt a great alternative to a leather gun belt at a fraction of the cost I trust this belt with my life ! and holding all of my gear tools and most important and normal use holding my pants up comfortably and perfectly! great buy you will not be disappointed I don't think ill ever buy another belt other than the 511 trainers belt for the rest of my life!

Great sturdy material, easy to adjust to fit your waist size, this is my favorite belt

Heavy duty belt for EDC. Adjustable fit compensates for any changes. The hefty buckle is so solid it's guaranteed to get you wanded by TSA. The perfect belt for all your Mission Impossible adventures, or when you want the best for just tooling around town.

I got this belt for $30 and it truly is awsome. I have a $80ish dollar comp-tac leather re-enforced belt and this belt performs almost as well as the comp-tac! The biggest pro for this belt is the fact that is very comfortable and easy to adjust. For CCW use (I carry a Glock 23 + 2 spare mags daily) I have not noticed any of the problems that you would see with a cheap $10 wal-mart belt. The only con about this belt is the price... I got it with a discount price of $30... it seems that the standard price is $60. I could easily justify $30 but I would have a hard time spending $60... with that much money into a belt I would probably go with the comp-tac.Lately I have been using the 5.11 belt more and more over my $80 comp-tac...One more great product from 5.11!!! But, as usual with most of their items... best to wait for a sell.(UPDATE)I have bought a second one these (due to weight loss) and I even was willing to pay the extra $10 more than I did last time. This is a great belt all on it's own. It is even better if you are in the process of weight loss since it is more adjustable than your typical leather belt. But, there is a point when you do have to get a smaller size since when you hit where the velcrow is you cannot truly get the belt any tighter than that. Also, even if you are not losing weight it is possible to get this belt tighter than your typical leather belt since you have more adjustment with this type of belt. Anyway, having the other belt has held up quite well with hard daily use (always at least 1 firearm holster).

First off, Amazon's got brass balls sending products to customers that have an overpowering smell that resembles damp, moldy material. If I did not need this item to be put into service immediately, it would have been promptly returned. When I say the smell was overpowering, I am not exaggerating, it was evident upon opening the box. Amazon, where the hell are you guys storing these? Anyway, problem solved with the judicious application of Lysol disinfectant spray over the course of several days. If you are wondering, YES, the belt was brand new, and was in off-the-shelf condition.Now on to the actual product: Good material, nice rigidity, generous lop patch for the hook portion of the velcro to attach to. I had an older version of this belt, and the finish on the buckle was not as good as this. I'd say that the buckle finish is a major improvement. At 1.5" wide, you'll be able to wear this with jeans if you choose, but it will get tight and complicated when you're trying to feed the tab through to fasten the velcro. The solution to that would be to ignore your belt loops on the second pass.This belt may be considered unisex, so it may be worn in either direction for comfort and ease of use (duty gear, etc.). I find the sizing to be on the generous size, but be mindful that the velcro patch will be placed accordingly for each size. Don't order a smaller belt if you want a more snug fit. If you will be, or are carrying a sidearm in an IWB holster, make sure that the size you order (check on the 5.11 website) will accommodate your holster.To sum it up: Great choice if you want a Tac-Trainer belt. If it's shown as inventory from Amazon, be advised.
