The 5.11 Trainer Belt is an ultra-reliable, high-quality belt ideally suited for use in any situation. It is stiff and rigid enough to maintain its shape through constant use and can support the weight of a variety of holsters and modular attachments. The nylon mesh webbing is tough and allows for professional or casual wear. It features a stainless steel buckle that is tumbled for smoothness and has a 6,000-pound rating for emergency climbing, ensuring the belt stays tight regardless of the level of activity. It fits into most traditional belt loops and has additional hook and loop straps for a customizable fit. For a belt that will last on the job and off, look no further.

I've now been wearing this belt daily for a couple weeks. Works great, nice and stiff, supports my gun, extra mag, and pants very comfortably. As mention in the title the belt does run a little small. Thankfully I'm on the small side (30") of one of there sizes and it works fine for me. If your on the bigger end, I'd go a size up. There is like 8" of adjustment Velcro.

This belt, in combination with the defender flex jeans from 5.11, does a great job of supporting my EDC including: IWB CZ P10C, light, two extra mags, knife, wallet, iPhone Plus, keys, etc. I would highly recommend using this belt in combination with the defender flex jeans as a means of blending in well with almost any environment you may encounter.

I can't wear it! I have a 36 in. waist so I ordered 36-38 in. belt - the belt is way too short. The Velcro only hooks about 1/2" on the loop portion of the belt. I am very disappointed. The belt is useless to me. It won't fit without a holster - absolutely won't fit with a holster.

I love the overall look and feel to this belt. Perfect for any casual occasion or for duty purposes. Belt works well in either a right hand or left hand pull. Sizes are a bit tricky. I'd definitely go a size larger next time as they tend to run small. Otherwise a good overall product.

The velcro system holds the belt as tight or as loose as you need. No problem with being between holes after consuming a few beers like on a regular belt. Only down side is where velcro overlap secures to the main belt my inside the belt slide holster will not fit well. Both belt and and overlap will not fit thru the slots on the holster.

The belt is definitely heavy duty with no sag carrying a G19, but I am not a fan of the buckle. I like that the velcro holds the excess in, but It also makes it cumbersome to thread the belt through the buckle. I would like to see a cobra style buckle so once you set it to your desired fit, it's easy on and off.

The 5.11 belt is as promised, durable, and well made. The buckle very heavy duty. It took a bit to initially work the belt tip through the buckle assembly because of it's thickness but i can tell already that it is becoming more supple. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a quality tactical belt.

This is the most comfortable belt I've ever worn. To be able to loosen and tighten in small increments is invaluable. I use it for everyday wear and it's perfect for concealed carry with every holster. My leather carry belt can't compare.

The belt is very stiff (which I like). I have a 36" waist and went with an XL belt - its a bit on the long side. I am not sure if a large would have fit better. The buckle is metal and some of the paint is already coming off.

These belts are great, and they last forever. The rigidity helps balance out the weight of a firearm on your hip. And the velcro allows you to adjust it perfectly, regardless of what tools and holsters you're carrying.
