AWESOME BELT - BUY LARGER SIZE

by Jamal, Verified Owner from SC, United States Written on October 22, 2021
Great sturdy belt. 1.75" wide. excellent for sidearms and extra mags.

I would definitely get the larger size. I have a 32" waist and the Medium is just barely long enough for the velcro to attach.
the Large size has lots of room left though..

Excellent belt

by Beltly, from GA, United States Written on September 29, 2018
Sturdy, high-quality belt with adjustable sizing for a perfect fit. The belt locks up tightly with the buckle and easily supports the weight of a loaded holster and other gear. I like this belt so much I own multiple ones. Highly recommended.
Pros:
  • Sturdy
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • anything
Would recommend: Yes

great belt but sizing issue and may need to exchange for correct size

by gorabusu, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on July 21, 2018
I've been leading up to this belt over the past 2 years. Went with the 1.5" 511 TDU first - too thin and didn't hold my gear, felt like a strap around my waist. Then went with the 511 reversible - definitely thicker but when wearing, the buckle is not the lowest profile - and it's plastic. that's still my go to belt when traveling and most days for EDC. But I needed a little more 'belt' for matches and EDC options so I picked up the operator 1.75". Buckle system is simple, flatter profile than the TDUs - and it's steel. I like leather belts because of the support and this belt definitely doesn't feel like a strap but a real belt thanks to the stiffener and extra width and it's not over the top either. Supports clothing and gear nicely (use an OWB tactical measure holster for 9mm compact with Blackhawk double mag pouch). more than sufficient and can add gear no problem. This is a great alternative EDC belt. 1.75" width will fit levis jeans, vertex pants (make sure you verify what your belt loops will accept). My only problem is (and it's significant)I followed the sizing directions and it fits BUT the end section of the belt that doubles back and fastens down via Velcro is too long and interferes with my holster. I'm a 34 waist so I ordered a Large since medium was 32-34". Turns out Medium was really what I needed to cut down the section the doubles back. I'm contacting optics planet to exchange if theres no additional shipping to have the correct size sent (that's t...

great belt

by don, Verified Owner from KS, United States Written on July 26, 2016
this is a well constructed belt. great quality and value. I use this with an IWB concealed holster to carry a heavy pistol and it works very nicely. I am pleased with this belt and would definitely purchase another. and it holds my pants up too! I ordered the size I needed and it fit perfectly ( I did not order one size bigger.. actually I ordered both and the next size bigger was way too large).
Best Used for:
  • everyday and/or concealed carry

Excellent gun belt

by AK, from NJ, United States Written on July 7, 2015
The belt is excellent. It is stiff torsionally, but pliant enought to conform to your body shape. Solid buckle holds without slipping. Belt holds my Blackhawk holster and mag puches firmly with no slop.
Best Used for:
  • action shooting

Heavy duty belt

by kenjme, Verified Owner from OR, United States Written on May 14, 2015
This is a great belt for if you need a heavy duty belt. The double layer webbing is very sturdy and great for keeping a holster in place. Wait for the 5.11 sponsored sales and it is a good value for the quality.
Pros:
  • Heavy duty, good quality
Cons:
  • Expensive
Best Used for:
  • holster belt
Would recommend: Yes

5.11 Operator Belt 59405

by DTS, from AR, United States Written on October 24, 2014
One of the best conceal carry belts available. Buckle is fully adjustable and belt itself is re-inforced to keep weapon secure with minimal movement. I would recommend one size larger when ordering to provide a little excess length, which I found helpful when hanging a paddle holster.
Pros:
  • Sturdiness
Cons:
  • Needs additional velcro on end
Best Used for:
  • paddle holster
Would recommend: Yes
