M-Tac Range Belt Cobra Buckle Gen.IV

Seems to be high quality! Only complaint is the belt seems to have ridges in the velcro from being rolled up, but hopefully they will come out

Great belt

For background: I am LE in the US, and a firearms/tactics instructor - so I actually run my gear pretty regularly. I recently decided that I needed to build a new ranger green belt but my "go-to" belt brand has been OOS for a good while, so I began the search for an alternative. I looked at the usual's...Agilite magnetix, Blue Alpha, Ferro, etc., but then I found this belt and really liked what I saw....so I ordered one. After getting the belt in, setting it up, and running it... my initial impressions are that I absolutely love it. It's extremely comfortable, feels great on the hips, and stays in place while running, crouching, going prone, etc. One of the things I really ended up liking is the one thing I was actually worried about at first....the way the belt attaches and overlaps at the front. My initial thoughts were that this may create a pressure point or hot spot up front, but it doesn't at all. It also allows the belt to have the entire inner circumference have a hook field to attach to the inner belt, which definitely makes a notable difference in how secure and in place the belt feels (anyone who has run the normal 2 piece belts know about that dead space up front behind the buckles and a couple inches on the removable buckle end, which definitely gives those belts a little bit of slop). The other nice thing is the overlap portion is also hook and loop, so essentially the buckle is merely just extra security. With the hook and loop overlap, and the smaller cobra buckles set up the way they are, this allows you to be able to secure the belt with an imperfect/angled overlap. This actually makes the belt even more comfortable by conforming to the body's natural shape and allowing a sloped connection point, not just wrapping a straight line around a lumpy curve like other belts that have hard set attachment points. Overall, the belt is awesome and I can't wait to run it some more. I have no doubts that it will hold up.
