Its durable design includes a 1.75-inch width and the ability to handle heavy loads. The solid-colored belts have a tensile strength of 7,000 pounds, while the MultiCam option has a 5,000-pound tensile strength.

Tactically, this belt is a very important piece of kit. On the plus-side, the Blackhawk belt is made of strong materials and the fabric blends evenly with multicam clothing. It supports a tactical holster well (once you get it rigged), and the belt doesn't wander or chafe. The metal buckle and d-ring are stout and noiseless once the belt is on. Best of all, the kit is made in the USA, which is reason enough to buy it.

On the minus-side, the sizing is tricky. I've got a 31 inch waist; but the "up to 34 inch" size barely fits. The problem is that a longer belt would be nearly impossible to attach a combat holster and mag carrier to, because the Velcro fastener could not be run through the loops without binding up. Also, the stitching on this belt is not as stout as the materials it holds together, and there's an odd bit of red-orange stitching along the seams that compromises the stealthy characteristics of the belt somewhat. Finally, the d-ring is just a touch too wide to thread easily through BDU belt loops.

So this belt is good enough for holding my trousers and side arm up, but I'm not sure I'd take it into combat.

Does what you hope. Keeps your pants up, and strong enough to hang/attach your packs/pouches....whatever you've got.
I bought the belt and Taclite Pro pants for camping, and in the field use.
It is an interesting belt to fasten at first, but once you do it a couple of times = no problem.
Works well with tactical pants with wider/taller belt loops. Okay for most jeans, but some may have to small loops to accommodate a belt this wide. Measure loop width on any pants you want to wear it on, if they aren't tactical.
I wear a size 34 waist pant , and I, (on the advice of tacticalgear customer support), ordered the Medium size, (up to 41"). It fits just the way I like, with about 6 inches overlap once buckled.

As previously stated the belt size runs very small! I am a 30 waist so I ordered the small, which states it runs up to 34, figuring I would have plenty of room. Once it was delivered I tried it on and sure enough I could barely get the belt back through the buckle. Hopefully the return process is not a painfull one. I have other brand belts which are also up to size 34 which fit with plenty of extra room. If your ordering this belt I would reccomend ordering atleast one size larger. Overall the quality and stitching of the belt look good although the hardware is not rated as with the condor riggers belt the hardware is rated up to 2,000 tensile strength.

Around Blackhawk riggers belt I've had. My old one has been worn for 6 years and the Velcro is starting to wear out after EDC use. I'm actually exchanging the one I ordered for a smaller belt and this site has been awesome with customer service. I'll absolutely be ordering again. I can't wait to get the belt in a smaller size. I messed up ordering and this site made return and either refund or store credit without a problem. Great product and company

Up till now was a SPEC OPS guy when it came to riggers belts but took a chance on a Blackhawk from TG. Some of my buddies used Blackhawk and for the most part liked em. Ordered a LRG after reading some Reviews that leaned toward running small. Bad mistake, they run true to size. Sent back to TG to exchange for Medium. Fit perfect. 5 stars for TG integrity. accepted the return, no problem, sent me a correct size and were very polite/professional. If it is still going strong after 5 yrs, like my SPEC OPS belt, I'll upgrade to 5 STARS.

As the title states this thing is the single best belt I’ve ever had. NOTHING you can buy from hardware store or whatever is gonna be this tough and still fit in belt loops (1.75” wide). This belt can hold 7,000lbs....you can literally use it as a tow strap if needed. Looks amazing, is crazy functional and absurdly tough with a modest price in comparison to the function you get from if. Will never buy any other belt ever again.

I really can't give an honest review on this because I haven't used it all that much. The belt is stiff, but how long will it remain this stiff? The hardware and stitching are top notch. Being 1.75 ' wide it won't fit all my trousers but it will fit the pants I planned to wear with it. If I can edit the review later, after some practical usage, I will.

I have one in OD and wanted a black one as well. This is a very well made and sturdy belt. I wear it every day, and have had no issues with stretch or folding. I wear my gun and spare mag holsters every day. I've had the OD belt for about 2 years now and have had no problems with any aspect of fit or function. This is a very nice belt for anyone looking for a sturdy, long lasting duty/carry belt.

This belt is very sturdy with solid construction. Blackhawk has really outdone themselves with this. One thing I've noticed however, is that belts I've purchased online listed as "coyote brown" are actually a brown/greenish hue. This is no different with this belt. Still, does everything I need it to do. Awesome product.

I have had this belt for 3 years, unfortunately I have increased in size, from the previous experience of use, I give continuity to this brand in this article, personally this belt in my different pants has given me the grip, safety and It has met all the expectations I have with this product. 100% recommendable...
