I love the belt and all the webbing in it. It’s built sturdy and has strong materials. The only issue, I am a smaller person with a small waist. I am a about a size 30 waist, and even on the tightest adjustment it is still to big. Not by much by enough to not do it’s job of relieving weight off my backpack (Tactix 1 Day-Plus) shoulder straps. I don’t want to make this review to be a bash on the company. They’ve been nothing but great and have quality products, but this needs just a bit more work to fot us skinnier people.

This waist belt works great with my 3 day specialist backpack! I am a smaller frame person, and I was worried that it would sit weird, but it fits my body like a glove. It definitely takes a lot of the weight off my shoulders which is super important to me. I have attached a pouch to the front part of the belt, and it is great for holding snacks and my phone for longer hikes. I've hiked with my specialist pack before, and ignorance was bliss, but this belt makes it so much easier! Great job First Tactical!
