5.11 Men’s Tactical Operator 1 3/4″ Ultra-Durable Web Belt

Sure, you can order a “tactical” web belt off eBay for under $10 with free shipping. You’re going to receive a belt that would be more appropriate as a cheap accessory for a Halloween costume.

This is my favorite belt to wear with a t-shirt and jeans combo. I’ve always felt like a leather belt (even a casual style) felt mismatched under a t-shirt. This tactical belt fits the belt loops of all my jeans and naturally also looks and feels good on my 5.11 tactical pants.

The black stainless steel buckle is the highlight of this belt. Cheaper imitations use a black polymer (plastic) buckle, but these usually do a poor job of keeping your belt how you want it because they can’t cinch down the way a metal buckle can. 5.11 touts a 6,000 pound rating for the buckle.

I also like the long velcro strip that holds the loose end of the belt in place. This isn’t a small square of velcro – it is a long strip that runs a decent length of the front of the belt and does an excellent job of securing the excess length.

While 5.11 occasionally adds and deletes color options for their gear, at the time I wrote this review, this belt was available through Amazon in the following colors: black, coyote, and TDU green.
