5.11Tactical 1.75" Double Duty TDU Belt, Style 59567

This belt is fantastic if you are looking for a reversible carry belt. I think that some of the reviewers that purchased this belt might be being overly critical, or perhaps are unfamiliar with this style of belt.It is thick for a nylon belt, but no thicker than a good quality leather belt. It is very stiff when it comes in, but so are most nylon carry belts. I spent a few minutes(approx 5) "softening" the belt by folding it in half and then rolling the pinch up and down the length of the belt on both sides. This process took A LOT of the stiffness out.I don't run into the belt working itself loose throughout the day, but the initial tightening takes a bit of getting used to because of the thickness of the belt. Once you figure out how to best do that, it stays put.The heaviest sidearm I've carried all day with this belt is a loaded full sized S&W M&P40 in a hybrid IWB holster(daily carry). I never feel like it is moving, or sagging, I don't have to re adjust or tighten the belt throughout the day. I also carried a loaded 1911 and 4 loaded mags OWB for a 5 hour range course where I had to draw and re holster SEVERAL times. The belt performed wonderfully.If you are like me and have a little bit of a muffin top when you sit, the belt buckle can get a little uncomfortable poking you in the bottom of the gut if you have to sit in an office chair for long periods of time. I've been losing a bunch of weight and it becomes less and less of an issue for me every week.When I bought this belt I had a 44in waist, and I'm glad that I bought the XXL cause the XL would not have spanned the expanse. I highly suggest this belt.Hope this helps!

TSA friendly and reversible. Nice.

Tactical belts are a dime-a-dozen enterprise with multitudes of companies getting in on the action. In a world with so many mind numbing, head spinning choices, how does one make a choice on which "tactical" belt is good for them? For ME...the answer is simple: Double...Duty.As a person who has a full time day job, EMT school at night, clinicals, and trying to fit a family life in there somewhere, any product that I find that can make even the most mundane of every day tasks a little easier is a must have for me. That's why I have fallen in love with the 5.11 Double Duty belt (Coyote/Black).Working in an office environment during the day, I usually wear a pair of tactical pants or jeans (MOST of which are some variation of the Coyote color). No problem for this belt. The color fits great with whatever pair of pants or jeans I decide to wear. A plastic buckle also helps in the event you encounter metal detectors in your every day life.After a long day at work it's time for the real action: EMT school and clinicals!! When changing into uniform all I need to do is throw on my black EMT pants (5.11 EMS Pants), flip the belt over, and I'm ready to roll. It's so much easier NOT to have to find another belt.The construction and durablity are spot on and are right on par with any other 5.11 product durability. The nylon is extremely durable. I'm 6'0 235 and all you other big boys can vouche for me when I say "belts are important to us". All other belts I've had over the years eventually end up looking like a curled up piece of bacon after 6 months (largely due to the fact that my GUT likes to hang over when I sit haha). Not this bad boy. It's constructed so that you won't ever have to deal with the curling from the belt loops issue.Overall saitisfaction with this product is an A+, with the only draw back being the amount of time it takes to get unbuckled if you're in a hurry to pee...or any other activity you may in a hurry to take your pants off for.............

This belt is perfect for overweight guys like me. I am 300 lbs and wear a size 48 waist. I ordered the 4xl and it is perfect. It left me some extra length which others have mentioned is handy to have. some folks complained that it is hard to cinch this belt because it is too stiff. This is not actually true. Yes the belt is stiff, thick and durable but there is a technique to cinching this belt. Thread the belt through the belt loops on your pants. Do not try to fasten it yet. Look down and notice that one side hangs the belt end and the other side hangs the buckle...stay with me...now thread the belt through the buckle and in doing so, leave it so loose "inside" the buckle itself, that it makes a sort of loop. Grab the loop on the buckle side and simultaneously pull it toward the buckle side while continuing to grab the loop close to the buckle and taking care not to pull the belt's end back through the buckle accidentally. Once the belt feels nice and snug you must then make sure that the buckle doesn't move while pulling the belt end through tightly and you will be good to go. Once it is set, it does not come undone no matter what kind of work you are doing. As a heavy guy it is a struggle to find an accommodating belt that will hold up. This is the best belt I have found for a big guy.

Okay I just opened the bag and couldn't believe what I just bought. You get two belts in one. It's very thick. I don't believe it will stretch much if any. The weakest part is the buckle. And it doesn't look too DAMN weak. I have a 28in waist and I bought small and I have very little slack to work with. I might buy a medium in the future. This will be the only kind of belt that I will ever buy.

Love the double sided thickness of this belt and the two color options. My husband wears the black side with his grey tactical work pants and the brown (coyote) with khaki's for church on the weekend. Can conceal carry with ease at any location with this belt. Much more durable than leather. He has a 35" waist and only the XL was available. He has about 5" leftover of the belt but just moves the buckle over off-center so the extra is under a belt loop and it looks great!
