FAIRWIN Men's Tactical Belt, Rigger Belt, Utility Nylon Web Waist Work Belt for Men with V-ring Quick-Release Buckle

Just an honest, unpaid review. The choice to purchase this belt was done with hesitation only because I was going to spend significantly more money for a name brand belt exactly like this. However, I chose to save money and go with this belt. The belt is great and the buckle certainly does well with holding pants or shorts up. I ordered the belt according to my size in the size chart and the fit is spot on and I have some excess that I can adjust when carrying concealed IWB. That is a plus! No more having to have two different sized tactical belts. The only thing I can’t speak of with any assurance either way is the carabiner attachment on the belt. Will it hold the advertised weight? I just don’t know, but it is not designed for anything more than a self rescue situation anyways. With the buckle latch withstand any amount of body weight in a self rescue situation? Again, I don’t know, but perhaps it could save your life if it came down to having to use it. If you’d find yourself having to use it, throw the belt away and buy a new one due to the chance of load bearing stitching stretch on the belt stitching, the likelihood of the belt being weakened by being stretched, and the weight the buckle itself would have on it. I do recommend the belt as far as fit, comfort, adjustability and ease of use.

I work as a loss prevention and security specialist as my day job and occasionally do event security as a side job in the evenings, so I'm always using my gear and putting it through the ringer. That being said, I am quite pleasantly surprised at the quality I've gotten for the price I paid. My other Fairwin belts have held up remarkably well in the years of daily use and wear I've put them through, so I'd say I've definitely gotten more than my money's worth out them thus far. I've bought some of these to supplement my current belts, a two ply model which unfortunately seems to have been discontinued, but these have been adequate enough for my needs with them. However, a caveat I will point out with these belts is that I personally wouldn't trust them to hold up a duty sidearm and holster on their own. It's a single ply design and I could see it holding up something very lightweight and concealable like a .38 revolver or a .380 auto, but probably not a fully loaded Glock 17 or other similarly sized duty handgun, so I would personally want to use suspenders or a true duty belt if I wanted something for those purposes. But it's a comfortable, reasonably strong design that works for my purposes in unarmed roles, so if you're just looking for an inexpensive product that will hold up to daily use, I recommend these belts, but if you need a true heavy duty belt for a sidearm, I'd personally recommend you look at 1.7 inch, purpose built products instead. Still, for a sub-$20 belt, these have been shockingly well made products. They don't quite hold a candle to Blackhawk or other similar brands, but for a fraction of the price, it's hard to fault them for falling short of that level of performance.

Had the belt for maybe a year or two now, it can be a little hard to adjust while wearing, the loop that holds the excess belt failed after the first few washes. Belt ends are very wide and don’t fit all pants and will tear belt loops easily. Belt has zero stretch . It’s not a bad belt but next time I might go for a higher quality one.

I recently dropped a few pants sizes but still liked some of my old jeans so belts were a must. I have never really had a belt that felt nice, or one that I didn't have to constantly adjust. I wanted something simple that I wouldn't really notice I was wearing. My go to was the canvas style belts, but still these even needed constant adjusting. They were also kind of flimsy and would fold into themselves . I was looking for something tactical as I was always on the move, fiddling with my pants was a common annoying occurrence. Came in box with the company contact info, also states there is a two year warranty with this belt, when I pulled it out of the box, it definitely looked and felt like it would outlive that warranty. Solid material no frays or anything. very clean. Metal buckle is small and low profile. Adjusting was easy and took only seconds! The end of the extra strap for adjusting the size is secured by a stretchy nylon ring so it sticks to the rest of the belt keeping its low profile look. The buckle releases INSTANTLY with ease by squeezing the two gold buttons, definitely a time saver. When clicked back together it makes a SUPER satisfying click that just screams tactical. This is the first belt where I had total control over the tightness, I found that perfect hold and locked it in. I did a test walk and was amazed, the belt stays exactly the way you set it and doesn't budge one bit. It also didn't make my pants waist bunch up like the canvas belt did. Very comfortable when I sit or lay down, I don't feel it digging into my waist like other belts did. For everything else but a formal event I believe this will be the last belt ill have to buy. Great for anyone who has a daily commute that involves a lot of walking. My pants slipping is one less problem I have to worry about. To loop the belt around you do have to pass the whole metal buckle through the loops which I had ZERO problem doing as the buckles almost match the size of the strap. I followed the size guide and its accurate. I tried to find something I didn't really like and couldn't find one. For the price it seems well worth it based on the quality. If you want a solid minimal no nonsense belt this is the one.

material is good quality. However, the slip style for adjusting the size likes to slip. Also, the lock has a tendency to come loose at inconvenient times, which causes the belt to come open.

Excellent belt, good quality and sizing. Mines been great for the last 2 years lasted well.

I ordered this belt with free next day delivery. I was surprised when it actually arrived on the next day since the next day was Memorial Day. I give it 5 stars for quick delivery. First of all, I did not order this expecting to use it as a belt to hold up my pants so I cannot say as to whether it fits through belt loops or not. My guess is it would fit only if the loops are large or the buckle was removed as people have said. But it fits my purpose perfectly. I wanted a belt to fit outside my pants to hold extra magazine pouches and this is perfect. The belt and buckle seem to be high quality. Adjusting it to fit was easy. After I have actually used it for a while I will update my review if needed. I purchased dual cases designed to carry revolver Speed Loaders and use them to carry extra 10 round rotary magazines for a Savage 17 HMR. I had no problem sliding the belt with buckle attached through the case back. As the pictures show, I can carry nine dual pouches for a total of 18 extra magazines which is exactly what I purchased this belt for. Even with 18 fully loaded magazines the belt can be adjusted tight enough to hold everything in place while remaining loose enough to rotate it around my waist to get to the magazines in the back. It is so much handier to simply change magazines rather than having to reload empty magazines at the range or while in the field. I expect this to last a long time since it will not be an every day carry belt but will only be used when I go shooting. My belt did come with the loop to hold the loose end in place but in my case the loose end is simply fed inside a magazine case. I strapped it on and walked about 1/2 mile and the belt stayed in place. After a few steps I did not even notice I was wearing it. I give it 5 stars for fitting my needs perfectly and would definitely recommend it to anyone needing a belt for carrying extra magazine pouches.

I have been using this belt for 5 years and it is hands down the best belt I have ever purchased. It has started to wear at the little accessory loop holder that I rarely use but that's a non issue for me since I've gotten more than my fair share from this belt. Other leather belts would have long since failed me be cracking and breaking into pieces and this belt has stood the true test of time with zero maintenance other than cutting excess strands that come with time. I have used this belt while working at an Amazon warehouse back during COVID and I have used this belt ever since. I will NEVER buy another belt from anyone else as long as these are available. I'm going to buy another belt just so I don't have to take it off my work pants since the loops are too small for regular removal like when I switch to my everyday pants.

Worst tactical belt I’ve ever seen, doesn’t have V ring as shown in product pics, will not recommend any one to purchase it. Suggest Amazon not to sell products with false descriptions.

I use this belt at work, and I love it. Once I set the size it is much easier to refasten it than a traditional belt. Instead of having to refasten it the traditional way its just a simple click and your on your way.
