Each RDR EDC belt is made with 1" accent webbing stitched to TWO layers of 1.5" scuba webbing, creating one of the strongest belts in the industry. Feel confident, when wearing an RDR EDC belt you have the strength and support needed to maximize your gear. Sizing: When ordering your belt, we recommend using you "Pant" size. Example: If you wear a size 36 "Pant" order a size 36 belt. Each belt will have approximately 2-4 inches of outward expansion to accommodate an IWB holster and/or weight fluctuation. ***If you plan on losing weight in the very near term, please order a size or two smaller, our belts expand more then they do "shrink". Please plan accordingly****
