The Spec-Ops Better BDU Belt 1.75" was specifically engineered for increased gear carrying capacity. It is made to be airport friendly with no metal components. The new HD webbing is stiff enough to carry holsters, tools and ammo pouches more efficiently and comfortably. The stiffness is comparable to a conventional stitch down leather duty belt, at a fraction of the weight, and the patent pending buckle is tough enough to hold up in any deployment situation while offering easy adjustment.
