Was hoping for more from these belts but sorry to say, I'm a bit disappointed. After trimming the webbing to length the first time, I've had to go back and trim, re-seal the cut ends two more times on 2 belts. Not a novice to cutting and sealing web material but I find that the webbing does not hold a seal very well. Two other issues are found when trying to cinch the belt tight. The rather cumbersome method of holding the buckle at an acute angle and then trying to cinch the webbing tight (particularly if using any type of holster or accessory onto the belt) enough to hold the weight, doesn't work well. At least for me. I do find the belt (s) comfortable once tightened and secure but the process to get them adjusted is a distraction and not always successful. Having come over from X-Concealment (now defunct), 511 Tactical, etc, these are much lighter in weight and overall more comfortable but the ability to cinch and forget and carry some weight on them is a drawback.
