Propper Tactical Duty Belt

Comment

I agree with reviews that point out that this belt is way longer, as shipped, than the "sizing" would indicate. I ordered a 40-42, thinking that might be roughly the length of the belt itself and I could deal with it (I wear a size 32 waist). The belt that I received measured 51 inches. No problem, I also agree that its easy enough to trim down the length. I recommend cutting the belt to the length you want plus may 1/4 inch; you will get fraying; then use a soldering torch (or gas stovetop, or something), and slowly, evenly melt the frayed end; you will get sort of a globbed up melted end; then take an X-Acto knife or razor, and trim the glob carefully, slowly, to a straight even cut; then run it very lightly over the flame again just to firm up the clean cut. See pics. Also, I dont think theres any question about this being a genuine Propper belt. It has the label, including on the buckle, and is heavy-duty nylon. Good belt for the price and I didnt mind trimming it. The only downside is, you lose the nice angled, hardened end that comes on it, but thats not a deal breaker for me.

I purchased this item in both khaki and black. As some other reviews have questioned the authenticity of the belts I was skeptical to order, but figured that the price was cheap enough that even if they were fake rather than just leftover old stock theyd still work as casual belts. The nylon is ok. Doesnt seem as durable as my 5.11 belts or propper belts Ive seen in the past. The buckle is definitely short of measuring up. The plastic feels cheap and easily flexes when squeezing with my bare hands. Real tactical belts that are supposed to be of decent quality wouldnt do this. Also, the buckle is lacking the propper insignia. As for the belt itself, the stitching appears sloppy compared to authentic belts and the manufacturer label is noticeably crooked.. If this is a real propper belt then quality control has taken a serious decline.. Im almost positive that both the black and khaki belts I received are counterfeit.

----------------------- QUICK REVIEW ----------------------- So far so good with this belt, to be honest Ive never heard of or used a PROPPER belt so I have NO CLUE if its authentic or counterift. The belt is suited for on or off duty use, the PROPPER Nylon Duty Belt is designed to provide utility in any environment. The molded belt buckle allows for easy adjustments yet holds tight when loaded down. Heavy duty 1.5 inch wide nylon can withstand constant and long term use. I got a 32-34 waist belt and I am 33 waist and it fits perfectly on my pants or summer shorts. Belt is sturdy but there are definitely sturdier belts (that cost more). I use it to hold my holster for my PPQ or GLOCK 23 and it works great and keeps it up on my belt with ease. I also strap my knife and pepper spray to the belt. ----------------------- FEATURES ----------------------- - Nylon webbing - Imported - Heavy duty nylon webbing - Belt width - 1.5 Inch - Features PROPPER name and logo on the belt buckle ----------------------- PROS ----------------------- - Sturdy - Crazy Good Price - 1.5" Width - Overall Good Quality - Fits as Expected (32-34 Waist) - Versatile ----------------------- CONS ----------------------- - Could be sturdier - Plastic Buckle - Belt is Stiff - Hard to Tighten

Propper Tactical Duty Belt - Coyote Brown I like this belt. Id love it if the buckle didnt permit unwanted slippage while adjusting. I have had it about three months. I had previously purchased the Spec-Ops brand and wanted to compare. The Spec-Ops buckle is better; their belt is slightly thicker and holds better. I have four Spec-Ops in different colors and two widths; this is likely the only Propper I will purchase. Pros. It looks good. The heat sealing and angled cut on the end make it very easy to thread through belt loops. It keeps my pants up without making my waistline uncomfortable. It is thinner than the Spec-Ops and the rear-center belt loops are already creating a permanent wrinkle in that spot on the belt. I bought a little large and did not trim it; the end wraps past my side belt loop - much longer than would be permitted if still in the Army - but I like it at this length. Cons. It is thinner than Spec-Ops. This combined with the buckle design seems to permit unwanted slippage when adjusting as previously stated. With Spec-Ops I hold the end of the buckle out to maintain pressure - no slippage. Trying the same with this belt/buckle - it slips.

This is very likely NOT a genuine Propper brand belt. The belt buckle does not have the "Propper" logo or written marking. The belts inside tag also does not feature the Propper logo. The nylon is also thinner. The quality is okay, but it was bought to replace exactly a Propper brand belt, and unfortunately does not do this. 3 stars for quality of product as is.
