Been experimenting with a Wilderness Tactical's 1.5"/ 5 stitch "Frequent Flyer" Belt. Nice and stiff with a double ring buckle (non metallic) ........

Infinitely adjustable over about a 3" range.......it allows me to carry a Sparks IWB double single stack mag pouch...... OWB but under the belt along with a Sparks Summer Special IWB holster for my 3913 ... in comfort.

After using one over the winter I can recommend it as an option to a leather belt.... currently ordering a second one in Coyote Tan $38.95

I have a 1.5"/5-stitch Frequent Flyer belt. It's definitely a good option to have.

I still prefer my Beltman, though.

I've been using mine for more rough use........ so I don't have to worry about scuffing up a good leather belt.

I like that belt. Looks very practical. Funny, I'd never heard of them or the company. Looked at their website. I like their Sonoran shirts, too, especially the retro gecko one. Sigh. More money.

I've had one of these for over a year....easy to adjust, and tough as nails.

I've bought a few of the Wilderness Tactical belts, I even sent two back to the company to have the Velcro replaced, for a minimal fee. I wore them at work because the nylon webbing held up better at getting wet than my leather belts.
It is an excellent outdoorsman's belt, when hunting I use the 1.75" wide 5 stitch as a holster belt for my M-329, ammo pouch, and fixed blade knife sheath.

I have 2....a 1.5 instructor and a 1.25 frequent flyer......when the velcro got old on my instructor I just cut it off and bought some new stick on velcro tabs at the 99 cent store.....works great.

Sitting down the edges can feel real sharp, if you put on a few lb's. 2 instructors here. No complaints otherwise but maybe leather with an insert between layers??? The search is never ending. Please report back after using the buckle for an emergency repelling carabiner.
