It all started with a pair of pants. The FBI training academy adopted the original 5.11 pant as its training pant in 1992, forging a decades-long relationship that drives 5.11’s commitment to public safety and the first responder community. 5.11 Tactical began developing a more extensive law enforcement line in 2003. Our designers work together with public safety professionals to create gear that meets the needs of real people in the field. In 2012, we rose to the challenge of redesigning our women’s collection to create better fitting and higher performing options. Our women’s category has grown to include premium uniforms, covert clothing, fitness apparel and more. Today, 5.11 is expanding into the outdoor and fitness markets with products like the Vaporlite short and the ABR trainer. we are determined to meet these new challenges with the same grit and fortitude that has always defined our brand.

Best duty belt I've used
I've been using this belt now for almost two years and its held up great. The PALS (MOLLE) webbing is still sharp and clean, the belt has taken a set for the shape of my hips (but that's not a bad thing) and the buckle is still smooth and strong. I've carried a Beretta 92X, a Glock 34, and now a Springfield Echelon with corresponding 18-21 round magazines for each plus TQ, phone, flashlight, baton, cuffs and a small med kit and its comfortable. I wear a set of duty suspenders to help with that, but I'm middle aged and I've got chronic lower back and hip pain for years before I started wearing a gun belt professionally again. These belts are a terrific value, and I'll go back to a wider (2 inch or wider) belt kicking and screaming. 1.75" is perfect for a duty belt, especially when it is well built. Easy to adjust the fit within the size chart.

Patrol essential
Wear it everyday as a duty belt for patrol. Most comfortable belt for daily use.

Very Well Made, but word of caution
I really like this belt, both inner and outer. It's sturdy and seems as if it will be durable and long lasting. One word of caution. Order the next size up from what you think you'll need. I'm 6'7" and have a 40" waist and bought the XL (40-42) inch waist. It is right on the cusp of very nearly being too small and a challenge to buckle. So, I ordered the next size up. Hasn't arrived yet, but, given what I've seen so far in the product, I'm confident it will be just right.

Good Fit
I like the main belt. However, I don't like the included inner belt. It is really thick. It would be a better belt if it had a thinner inner belt. Other than that it holds my gear in place. Only time will tell how well it will hold up. It is way better then my cheap Condor belt.

Holds up!
Make sure you measure your waist! Quality is on par and one of the lightest belts I've had! Easily adjustable and the molle is strong.

Good concept, poor execution
The belt is inconsistent in width, it is supposed to be 1.75 inches in width, however it loses an 1/8 of an inch in width from left to right. This makes holster placement unstable. where my mag pouches have zero wiggle on the left. my Holster has a great deal of wiggle on the right. poor QC 5.11, further the belt comes in a clear plastic bag and is hardly secure or protected. This will be going back. time to look for something better

Nice!
Duty belts sure have changed a lot since I was using them. The inner and outer belt thing is a new concept for me but it works fine, feels comfortable although I worry I got a size too large.

Rusty situation
I received this belt with the COBRA buckle rusty. The belt did not seem to used. Not really sure why the buckle tarnished because this material should not
