I wear size 34 pants. Bought this belt in size medium, which fits me perfectly with a couple of inches to spare (just enough extra length to reach the first belt loop). The width of the webbing is wider that most belts and a perfect fit for my Tru-Spec pants (but too wide for many other pants). I don't understand the "hidden pocket"; it's so small that you can maybe fit a couple of coins in there, but not a house key. I don't expect that I'll ever use it. Product title says "Security Friendly", but the TSA still makes me take it off at the airport. The webbing is stiffer than many other web belts, which seems to make the belt more stay up more easily. The buckle is simple, but more secure than other plastic belt buckles that I have tried.

This belt is the option to buy at the right price point. When compared to the 5.11 TDU belts at twice the price, this belt holds it's own. Though slightly not as thick a webbing as the 5.11 TDU, it is every bit as robust and you will see no distinguishable difference whether just holding up your pants or used with your concealed carry holster.
I bought both belts because I thought I would be disappointed with the Tru-Spec but was not the case at all.

Optimal value when compared with price. I rate it a very good buy.

It is a good belt that is easy to use and the ends and sides do not show any fraying areas. The buckle is a nylon polymer design and is the focal point of the title description of "Security Friendly". This is not completely true. Yes, being that it is a nylon it does not cause any triggers or alarms on magnetic scan devices as there is obviously no metal to set them off. However, any major airport no longer utilizes magnetic scanning but rather full body scanners that now use "millimeter wave" machines, which bounce electromagnetic waves off the traveler to provide an animated image where a suspicious item might be located. That being said, this belt will in no way make your travels any faster as you will still have to remove the belt and send it through the x-ray with your shoes and all other belongings.

Another point is for those who may use an Otterbox Defender holster/clip for their cell phone. This belt is just a hair to wide to slide down from the top of the belt when worn and safely "clip" around it. You will think it is secured and then slowly work it's way up and allow your phone to fall off. It has happened a couple of times. However, BEFORE you put the belt through the loops of your pants, take the time to thread the belt through the hasp of the holster and you will have nothing to worry about. I have been doing this for several weeks and have never had the holster ride up on the belt.

The small pocket as listed in the item description is VERY small. I like several others simply use it to fold up a single bill in a denomination of your selection and keep an "emergency" bill secured, shhhhhhhhh, don't tell my wife!

Belt has worked well for me. Very durable. But also really, really wide. I can hardly get it through the loops of pants at times. Also, there's nothing special on the end of the belt, so the front end will get worn down pretty quickly. To be expected with a security belt, though. Just note that if you're looking for some sort of fabric belt like this, security belts might be a bit different than what you need.

Several years ago, when airport security had become a tiresome ordeal to get through, and it has only gotten worse in the years since, I bought my first TRU-SPEC Men's Tru Security Friendly Belt just to avoid the hassles of being scanned, poked, prodded and wanded. It worked of course, no metal no hassle. In fact I liked the belt so much that I started using it as my regular belt with pants where the broad width of the belt would look right. Now I am on to my second purchase of a TRU-SPEC Men's Tru Security Friendly Belt and could not be more satisfied. Just a great product. RECOMMENDED.
