In love with this belt second one I bought in 2 weeksfirst one I bought was off of the official 5.11 website I ordered a size too big was still usable and worked ok to keep my pants up even with all of the things I edc for work 8 hours a day not uncomfortable at all however belt was a little too big and wasn't able to tighten to the point I would need to carry a firearm (full size handgun) and because of that the gun would sag ever so slightly now I can't and don't carry very often at all because I can only open carry at my age in my state and can't get into a car so it's only when I walk the dogs or explore the nearby woods .. alone .so I just got paid and said what the hell im buying another one that properly fits and being the impatient person i am I bought off of Amazon for the fast shippingPlus since I already had a confirmed genuine belt from the official 5.11 website i would be able to spot a fake right away.. however that was a non issue belt arrived super fast chose 1 day shipping lol .. (impatient and had the money lol .belt was and is indeed the real dealBelt fits perfectly wear a size 32 pants and ordered the medium fits perfectly:)And supports the gun much betterThis belt is super ridged and Won't bend over unless you really force it ! Plus the 6000 lb rated buckle is a really nice plus really nice having that just incase I have to climb up high for work which could happen lol since anything is possible at my job ... and where I work it's a great tool and belt love it !Love knowing I can clip in and even rappell from a high point in an extreme emergency which the belt was designed for only for EMERGENCIES ONLY !!!Not designed for regular rappelling!!!But nice knowing it's there JUST INCASEPLUS the look on people's faces when you tell them the belt buckle is rated to 6000lbs ! very overkill but i like overkill lol anyways I love the belt a great alternative to a leather gun belt at a fraction of the cost I trust this belt with my life ! and holding all of my gear tools and most important and normal use holding my pants up comfortably and perfectly! great buy you will not be disappointed I don't think ill ever buy another belt other than the 511 trainers belt for the rest of my life!

Great sturdy material, easy to adjust to fit your waist size, this is my favorite belt

The 5.11 trainer belt is an excellent example of an everyday carry belt. An edc belt needs to have a few key features in order to support the weight that rides on it and this belt does that job nicely.This belt is very rigid however isn't so stiff that it cuts into your body when you really tighten it. Rigidity is necessary feature of a belt if your carrying a firearm. I have used this belt with a Galco inside the waistband holster and an outside the waistband Blackhawk Serpa holster. Both holsters stay upright and do not flop around when I move.The buckle is probably the toughest feature of this belt. The loose end of the belt feeds through the buckle and around a captured floating bar out the direction the belt end comes trough your belt loops. Once the excess flap is tucked into your belt loops and velcroed to the body of the belt it is locked solid without any possibility of loosening unless you choose to loosen it.Build quality is excellent. The stitching leaves most other tactical gear in the dust. The belt has two layers of nylon stitched together with five rows of stitching. The buckle is loop stiched in with box-x stitching capturing the buckle at the end. A loop Velcro strip is stitched onto the body of the belt for approximately 1/4 of the belt. The loose end has a hook Velcro strip that attaches to the loop section when the belt is tightened.Overall this belt has a level of quality that doesn't exist in a lot of other products. The price of this product is very reasonable considering what other belts in this category cost.

Heavy duty belt for EDC. Adjustable fit compensates for any changes. The hefty buckle is so solid it's guaranteed to get you wanded by TSA. The perfect belt for all your Mission Impossible adventures, or when you want the best for just tooling around town.

First off, Amazon's got brass balls sending products to customers that have an overpowering smell that resembles damp, moldy material. If I did not need this item to be put into service immediately, it would have been promptly returned. When I say the smell was overpowering, I am not exaggerating, it was evident upon opening the box. Amazon, where the hell are you guys storing these? Anyway, problem solved with the judicious application of Lysol disinfectant spray over the course of several days. If you are wondering, YES, the belt was brand new, and was in off-the-shelf condition.Now on to the actual product: Good material, nice rigidity, generous lop patch for the hook portion of the velcro to attach to. I had an older version of this belt, and the finish on the buckle was not as good as this. I'd say that the buckle finish is a major improvement. At 1.5" wide, you'll be able to wear this with jeans if you choose, but it will get tight and complicated when you're trying to feed the tab through to fasten the velcro. The solution to that would be to ignore your belt loops on the second pass.This belt may be considered unisex, so it may be worn in either direction for comfort and ease of use (duty gear, etc.). I find the sizing to be on the generous size, but be mindful that the velcro patch will be placed accordingly for each size. Don't order a smaller belt if you want a more snug fit. If you will be, or are carrying a sidearm in an IWB holster, make sure that the size you order (check on the 5.11 website) will accommodate your holster.To sum it up: Great choice if you want a Tac-Trainer belt. If it's shown as inventory from Amazon, be advised.
