\"\"<\/a>I was a bad boy today. Mojo Dave had a nice Jones Tactical belt in Multicam in large, so I jumped on it. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not going to get too heavy into the technical details, since you can go to the Jones website or probably find a boatload of reviews online. It is 1.5\u00e2\u20ac\u009d wide. My waist is 34, and there is like another inch, maybe inch-and-a-half left on the loop Velcro for the adjustment tab. The body is made from heavy coyote brown webbing overlapped on both sides with printed Multicam webbing with the joint nicely hidden and finished. The adjustment webbing is 1\u00e2\u20ac\u009d printed Multicam webbing with Multicam printed loop Velcro under the tail. The buckle is a 1\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Cobra buckle. At $75 USD, it is quite spendy as belts go, more toward the price range of some designer Italian trouser belt than a run-of the mill single-layer scuba webbing tactical belt. The material and build quality justify the price in my opinion.<\/p>\n

As a belt, it works: It holds my pants up and holds adjustment. One would think that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s pretty hard to mess that up, but I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve heard of at least one tactical trouser belt that slips when you squat down. The three-layer construction is stiff enough that the belt doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t fold over at the back when you squat down or bend over. For everyday use, it is a little bit of a pain for me, because the blocky buckle ends are a tight fit through the belt loops of Levi\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s jeans. You can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t just undo the end and yank the belt out like a traditional belt \u00e2\u20ac\u201c it takes a more directed effort to thread the buckle ends out through the belt loops. It will probably fit through the larger belt loops on tactical pants much easier. The buckle is called out as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153desert tan,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d but it is effectively shiny effing GOLD anodized! So much for low observability! AustriAlpin does have subdued, milspec finishes in the works, so at some point there will be less blingy buckles available.<\/p>\n
