The Wilderness belts hold up, end of story
I’m not going to go off and bash 5.11 products but they are a monster of a company and have so many products out there, that I can’t really say that they are the best, or that they are the worst, at what they do. They sell watches, flashlights, and many EMS and military style shirts, pants and footwear that I think they are doing entirely too much and losing focus. It’s a multi-million dollar company but there flashlights and watches don’t have a great reputation and I wouldn’t spend my money on those, the same goes for many of their belts.
The only product that we probable will never replace in our inventory are The Wilderness instructor belts. They have been the best selling guns belt and The Wilderness belts that are a 5 stitch 1.5 inch are very common on firing lines. We’ve tried several belts already that were similar but the paint chipped or they frayed sooner than they should. You do have to be very careful about how you measure yourself for these belts, many people are spoiled with elastic waistband pants and don’t really know what there true sizing is. You do need to measure yourself and we have that on the product image display.
