Bianchi 8100 Web Duty Belt - 2.00" Belt Loop

Gave all my old LE and military gear to my military/LE son when I retired. A few years later I find myself pulling security details here and there for some extra money, and now I've gotta replace a lot of stuff I never thought I'd use again. Of course there are now a lot more providers of tactical and LE equipment than ever before, so you end up spending hours weeding through a lot more ash and trash in order to find legitimately good gear. Bianchi has had a solid reputation going back way before I was a rookie, so I decided to give this decently-priced duty belt a try. Glad I did. It's well made, well sized, easy to adjust, and isn't as bulky as a lot of belts I've seen. Of course only time will tell if it holds up, but so far I'm happy.

This sizing isn't even close. My waste is about 32-33. I bought the 28-34 size. It is WAAAAAY too small. And that's if I put it through my belt loops. Given that this is supposed to go over another belt, it isn't even close to accurate. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to use it before the return period expired. So they got my money by selling me the wrong thing. I will be disputing the charge on my card.

I have a 38 inch waiste and bought the 36-40 M size, and it was way to small. If you have a 38inch waiste buy the large size.

The belt I received does not match the one in the picture. Mine has a different buckle on it like several others have noted. I don't really mind, but it's worth noting. The belt feels well made. It is stiff and supportive without being obnoxious. Holds all of my gear and looks pretty decent for a belt in this price range.

Ordered the belt as an armed security officer. Belt is great. I purchased retention clips separately to help hold it to my leather belt. Glad I did. It only has enough Velcro to fit the size you pick. So pick wisely. I happened to have just dropped 50+ pounds so now its too big with no way to reduce the size without buying a new one. If it had enough Velcro to reduce size more I would have given it 5 stars.

This is a great duty belt. Bianchi is a known brand that (in my opinion makes good products). I am a police officer an had been using a similar nylon style duty belt, however over the years it had faded and the buckle had weakened. This belt works perfectly. Prior to my purchase, I read tons of reviews on these belts and there were a lot of warnings about the sizing so I took that into account. I am a waist 33, and I purchased the 34-40 waist size. It fits and looks great. Just order a size up and you will not be disappointed.

Thick sturdy belt. I don't load it up because I use the inner hook and loop belt and it utilizes too much of the velcro space. A holster, 4 mag pouches, and a light. Plenty more room and stability for other stuff. But I don't want to compromise the inner belt hook and loop space. Works great for what my needs. I would recommend

I am a Law Enforcement Explorer and this belt works amazingly for me. I love the tri-release feature, it adds extra security to your belt. If you get the inner belt that matches this, it Velcro's to each other to help keep the belt on your waist which I love and I also wear 4 belt keepers. For the past two years ive had it, nothing has torn or anything. I do not work full time so I don't know how it would last with entering and exiting a vehicle everyday, but I would assume it would hold up pretty good. Great Price for the quality.
