BLACKHAWK CQB/Rigger's Belt

Thanks to fewer burgers and more exercise, my old belt (Wilderness Tactical Frequent Flyer) didn't really work any more. The WTFF isn't available on Amazon, so I went looking for something similar that was reasonably priced and had a wider range of sizes it'd work for, in case I have an extra big dinner or lose another few pounds.This belt seemed to fit the bill, and at ~$35 shipped it seemed like a good deal.Initial thoughts are that this belt isn't as stiff as my WTFF; it's only a single layer of nylon webbing stuff rather than a double layer. The buckle looks like it'd made of about ten pounds of steel, so keep that in mind if you have to walk through metal detectors every day.I was iffy on the size as I'm about a 38 or 40 waist in jeans, and the large of this item says it's for 41+. I ended up going with the large, and I'm glad I did. It'll go about 10" looser or tighter if I need it to, which seems like it could handle any sit ups or pies I throw at my waist for the foreseeable future.

I absolutely love this belt. I was looking for a good belt to use with khaki and similar type shorts that was not leather because the leather just did not look right. I now find myself using this belt every day and carrying an IWB holster with this belt has been great. When using certain other belts, they just did not hold up to the weight of a firearm leaning on them, this one was just as sturdy as my leather belts meant for a ccw. We will see how long the velcro lasts over time, but so far this belt looks like it is made to last. For size considerations, I am a size 40 in pants and I purchased the Large belt and find it to be perfect. I have a lot of extra belt but I just pull it through and velcro it and there are no comfort issues whatsoever. I will be purchasing another in a different color. I highly recommend this

Finally! A belt that keeps my pants up! I have been desperately looking for a belt to keep my pants up no matter what I'm doing. I carry at c least one knife, a leatherman surge (11oz) multi tool, a flashlight, and other basic stuff (phone wallet etc.). I'm over weight but it's all beer belly. From the waist down I am not fat. Yes its almost like a snowman. But I have no ass or hips, no matter what kind of belt I'd try my pants would inevitably slip. I am not a "gangsta" so that's not cool. This belt finally fixed that problem. The only thing about this belt is the sizing. No fault with the company at all. I'm fat so I ordered ac large. I didn't read the size chart. Totally my fault. But my belt is too large, I don't get to say that often so it feels pretty good. All jokes aside, read the size chart.

Before ordering I made certain to read all the reviews. There was allot of discussion regarding the listed size's. It was a toss up for me with the mixed reviews. I wear 40" to 38" pants depending on the make. The medium belt showed that it would fit up to a 41" waist. But I went with the Recommended consensus that it is best to order larger than needed so I ordered the large. I was anxious to receive the order afraid that the belt would be to large, but it was perfect. I wear a full size Glock21 in an outer leather holster and with my regular gun belt my pants would always sag after normal activity. The first day out with the Blackhawk belt my pants never sagged. The only issue I have with the belt is when lapping the velcro end of the belt over after running through the buckle it is difficult to run through the belt loops of your pants. No biggy! Love the belt and would buy the product again.

I have purchased this twice. I'm the type of person who doesn't have a lot of butt and I need my pants to be held up with a tight belt. I can pull this thing really tight, and not have to worry about one hole on my belt being too lose, and another too tight. Everytime I put this belt on, it fits just right.That being said, it does eventually wear out. Now, I don't take the best care of it. When I get home, I rip it off and I throw it on the floor. If you fold up the velcro, and store it somewhere clean, it will last you longer. This will likely be the last belt that I purchase of this brand, because it seems like it needs to be replaced every 6 months if you wear it daily and for long hours. You'll know it is wearing out when you pull it really tight, and it pops off. If you are looking for a belt to wear to the gun range or in an idpa competition type of scenario, it is perfect. For everyday use, it simply will not hold up, especially if you abuse it and always wear it extremely tight.

Over the years I've owned three Blackhawk Rigger's belts, two were issued and I bought this one. The two that were issued are still in my closet and get used but they are black and new uniform requirements required tan.These belts are great! I've used them for years at sea and never had a problem with rust on the metal parts. The Velcro has never gotten weak and, though I have gear for carrying weapons, these belts also serve well for carrying a sidearm.The construction of these belts makes them very comfortable in thick uniform trousers. Wearing them with jeans is a little less comfortable but wearing them with lightweight khakis or shorts is not something I would recommend, the edge of the belt tends to ride above the waist of lighter trousers. If you're wearing a riggers belt because you need it, you probably shouldn't be wearing lightweight khakis or shorts though.
