BLUF: Recommended but buy the next larger size. //

I purchased several pair of pants that measured 38 in the waist. The paints fit great, perhaps even a little loose. The recommended size based on that waist measurement was a large. This belt has a lot of adjustment due to it being velcro so it will still fit but I think it's pretty much maxed out. If you're a 38 waist - i would recommend the x-large. //

Also do to the size of the buckle, it won't fit through any belt loops, you have to remove the male half of the buckle from the velcro section of the belt in order to slide it through. Also, since it's velcro, you will also have trouble sizing the belt and making the velcro hook because there is a belt loop in the way.

I really liked the style of this belt, I've had a couple cobra buckle belts before but this one is the best on how it's built. It's lightweight and the female side of the belt buckle fits easily through most belt loops (it's hard to get it through the back belt loop on the propper tactical khakis). However, it is extremely stiff. I've been wearing it for about a week or so almost every day and its loosened up some, but not a lot. The buckle needs just a little more length (maybe 1/10 inch) on the male side, because if you don't make sure both levers are closed, it'll come undone when you bend over. Overall, near perfect belt for a perfect price

This belt is plenty thick to prevent any belt sag from heavy things like radios and tools. The small end of the buckle is small enough to fit through the loops of my tactical pants. Regular pants belt loops require one end of the buckle to be removed and put back on after it has been looped through the belt loops.

Gauging from what i saw online... This belt appeared to be exactly what i wanted/needed for my edc holster... Got it in the mail, excitedly torn into it and found a very tough, rugged, and heavy duty feel to the belt, my only problem.... It didnt fit the belt loops to my jeans... If i had to buy special pants that wouldve been awesome to have known all in all high quality belt... ill probably never wear

Product sizing description is accurate and appears to be well constructed. Two downsides 1) the buckle does not fit through 1.5 pants loops and must come off to tread through. 2) the quick release and click in on mine are very finicky. It requires a few attempts. I am hoping after a break in period they will function better. That’s why 4 stars not 5. Very pleased with the order updates and shipment.

The belt appears to be well-made. However, I am a 33-34" waist and the 32-34" belt was too small to add gear. The belt is listed at 1.5", but would not fit the belt loops in my Vertex pants (which are also listed as 1.5"). This company is awesome to deal with, as they accepted the return (unworn and in the packaging with tags).

I looked for a decent replacement cobra buckle belt, and if you've looked for these, they aren't cheap.
Well I happened to check the site and found this great belt. It's got a great smaller size cobra buckle, rigid waist band. And in the coyote tan color we use. All this for a fraction of the normal price seen for similar belts.

The belt is great, the Cobra buckle is a bit tender so do make sure you hear at least 2 small clicks but I think some more breaking in will remedy that.
It will fit thru belt loops although you have to remove the male buckle but that's really simple.
The belt is one of the more rigid belts I've seen so it will work as a stand alone gear belt as I intend to do or a great belt used with a battle belt.
Overall I think this is an unrated belt.
I got the 32-34 version and there's enough adjustment to wear outside the waist as a gear belt so if it's intended to be used as gear or battle belt allow a couple inches of adjustment.

The belt is not very wide so I took it to be an under belt. For that purpose, however, it is too rigid. The buckle is too thick to fit through the belt loops of my duty pants so I have to loop it through without the buckle, but then it is too rigid to obtain a proper fit when looping the belt through the buckle. Thank you
