The belt is hard and strong and seems so far to be very well made. I would also be disappointed with everything else from a 5:11 product. The buckle keeps the belt tight, without any hooks, the early bestow the fabric belt is usually made, another plus. Since no metal has been installed you should get through to Sciherheitsschleusen without gepiepe, so ideal for people who fly often times or are working in a secure area. But you should note the 4.5 cm belt width is very much and will blow most loops of pants.
