The belt is very robust and therefore very rigid, but for my purposes is very positive, the width is right to attach Leatherman and Bestboy bags. The length is easily adjustable with a very strong velcro. The weight is not disturbing and perfectly acceptable for me.
Practically I find the extra assurance that you have to push to open the belt!
Although I can understand that there is, so is the product of a high quality finish for many because of the size, which is inflexible and the closure not perfect in! For my purposes, the right place!
