Sizing is a huge pain! - Viking Tactics VTAC Raze Belt

Carefully measured my waist to get the right belt the first time. I even watched a video made by Viking Tactic’s owner about picking the correct size and style. I noticed one other review here that said the belt run small, it absolutely does and in my case it was way small. The inner belt had approximately 4 inches of attachment but was enough to hold in place. The outer belt was the real issue. At the end of the outer belt you have three vertical pieces of hook Velcro that are approximately 1 inch wide each spaced about an inch apart from each other so that you could trim if you had excess tabs. I think that’s a good idea but the problem I had was that I was 4 1/2” away from reaching the start of the loop part. I ordered a medium because when I measured my waist over a pair of pants it was 36” tight and stated that you would have an inch or two of leaway, that’s not the case. I returned belt for an exchange from medium to extra-large considering that I need another 4-5” for it to reach. The belt appears to be super strong construction made with quality materials in stitching otherwise I would have returned it for a refund. by the way I wear a size 33 pair of jeans,shorts from many manufactures they all fit well. I hope the extra large fits because if it doesn’t I won’t be happy.
