5.11 Tactical TDU Double Duty Belt, Non-Metal, 1.5-inch, Style 59568

Need a great brown and black belt for everyday use? Maybe you want a belt that can hold down a load in the back of your truck. Just maybe you have decided to become a mall ninja. Well friends this belt is for you and others more. I have been looking at these belts for a few months now after seeing some on a trip. I finally decided on the double duty because of the two color options and also the size. I like the 1.5 inch because it will hold my pants up when I have my large frame .45 in a holster attached without it pulling my pants down. I can cinch these up and not have to worry about my pants falling at all throughout the day unlike my leather belt. I was reluctant at first and thought that maybe the buckle wouldn't hold it tight but I was wrong. So far I have not noticed it slipping at all.I know that if it came down to to needing to use this belt for other purposes I wouldn't hesitate. It's strong and feels like it will hold large weight. I am a larger guy and got the XXL. It fits well and it is just the right size for someone wearing a men's size 42 pants. If you like your belts to be a little longer then definitely go up to the XXL. I have just about an inch of extra belt leftover once I fasten it.I can honestly say that I plan on ordering more 5.11 accessories after seeing how well this belt is made and how it wears.

The belt is sturdy and doesn't fold or flop. It's versatile: I can reverse it to get either the tan or black color to fit any outfit. And it's comfortable because I can adjust it to any size, yet it won't slip away.

I don't write many reviews so a product really has to stand out for me to bother and this one does. I've owned many gun belts over the years. Most were bonded leather or re-enforced with plastic that didn't last more than six months or so. Though there are similar styles of web belts that use Velcro and fold back on themselves that I have tried, I wanted a more traditional type of belt closure. This belt is stiff enough to support a holster but flexible enough to avoid wearing out quickly. If you aren't strong enough to bend it to thread the belt through the buckle or aren't smart enough to figure out how to adjust the tightness then this probably isn't the belt for you. 5.11 makes tactical gear so if you are looking at this belt for another purpose you will probably be disappointed.This belt is completely reversible. The buckle does not need to be removed to reverse the belt, you just flip it over. In fact the buckle can't be removed from the belt. The buckle is plastic but its thick enough to last for a while. This belt goes with jeans and casual pants or shorts but it isn't a dress belt and it won't look right with dress clothes. The material and sewing are of good quality and should last for a long time. The sizing of the belt is accurate. I wear a size 32 waist in pants and there is 4-5" of the belt left after buckling even with a holster. For the price it would be difficult to find a better tactical belt and with the reversible option you are really getting two belts for the price.

need to break it in a little bit more. Won't quite snug up to the spot I need. other than that a great belt

I bought this in 2015, it still looks new!

I bought this belt while looking for a stiff, wide belt to use for IWB carry and to support other miscellaneous items while camping. I didn't want to go to a full tactical belt as I didn't want to be separating velcro every time I needed to undo the belt since I was hoping I could find a belt that fit my needs and could also be used as my main everyday belt (easy to be taken off of one pair of shorts/pants and transferred to another).Well this belt is definitely it. I originally tried the 5.11 TDU 1.5-Inch Belt, and found it to be flimsy and very thin - unable to support much weight without sagging. So I returned that belt and purchased this belt and found a world of difference. This belt has two layers and is nice and thick, making it much more suited to support heavier items with no sagging. Due to the dual layers it is reversible, and appropriately stiff, while still being very comfortable. I am going to get a lot of great usage out of this belt.The construction is of very high quality. I am a size 38 waist and got an XL to have some extra room for IWB carry. I love the fact that it has no metal, so it can supposedly be worn through airport security without having to remove it (and that's just one less thing lol).I don't think you'll be disappointed in this belt at all if you're looking for a non-velcro, thick, stiff belt for supporting multiple items as well as your pants.

The media could not be loaded. This is not a 5.11 product, despite what Amazon claims. The product is labeled as a 5.11 item, but it is not.Pros: It’s decent for the price. I considered returning it but decided to keep it after all.Cons: It’s not as thick or durable as a genuine 5.11 product. It was also made in China, which wasn’t indicated in the product details—only that it was “imported.” That should have been a red flag
