Wanted to like this belt, it has a lot going for it on paper, but just skip it. First off, the medium is a large, without a doubt. Says it fits a 31-34 inch waist, definitely not. If you have a 34" waist you may be able to cinch it down. So you get a size that fits, now you have a cumbersome buckle that I'm sure is bombproof, but for a duty style belt is just way to chunky. Then you get to the actual belt itself. The thickness and rigidity is great, but personally I like a duty belt that leaves the stiffening out at the rear. The belt wants to pop out at the back because it's so stiff it won't conform to pants. Get a tac shield (that actually comes in a small size) with a cobra buckle and call it a day, buy once cry once.

When Jumping Out of a Plane Is the Easy Part of the Job
Smokejumpers like to say their work is all about being in the wrong place at the wrong time. When a blaze is roaring in the wilderness, they parachute in to get the situation under control – wearing a belt much like this. The Bailout Belt is made of double-thick 1-1/2" wide 100% nylon webbing that’s strong enough to carry whatever you might need for the situation. Heavy-duty hook-and-loop closure keeps the aluminum buckle in place no matter how hard you have to hustle. Your day may not be as hot as a smokejumper’s, but you still have plenty of fires to put out. So strap on a Bailout Belt and jump in.
Features
- Inspired by the belts of firefighters who start their days jumping out of airplanes into hell
- Double-layer 38mm nylon webbing makes it strong enough to carry a full range of accessories, tools, radios
- High-strength aluminum buckle is endlessly adjustable
- Hook-and-loop closure adjusts easy, stays in place
- Made in USA. Some components may be imported

Order a size down. I ordered a 2xl because I'm a 44 waist. Need the XL instead. I have to put the 2xl all the way to the end just to keep pants up.
Perfect fit! Easy to adjust and doesn't come loose
So strong, stylish, easy to use and stylish!
Love this belt! Perfect blend of rigidity, durability and comfort. The fold-back into Velcro keep it locked in all day no problem. My only complaint is that they run way big. I'm generally a large or 34in waist, but got a medium based on other reviews saying they run big and I 100% max out to the tightness just to get it to fit. So it's like it's made for a 36+ waist. Haven't seen a small size or I'd try that instead. Wish they'd make one.
