How snug a fit should the belt be with the side flaps pulled forward? I can stretch them completely to the opposite edge of the Velcro overlapping.

the paper say overlap the right over the left to your choice the more you stretch it the tighter it will be on your back and waist i think to tight can hurt your stomach and stop you from moving full pace . i think i my have brought mine to big thinking i was going to buy it to small but the 2xl is for ppl with 42 waist and over the bad thing about this brace is that if you bend over alot the straps begin to bunch and you have to adjust it time to time if u feel like it but for its price with all the lifting i do i sure dont have back pains like i used to

If your talking about the elastic side things they can stretch all the way around.

The belt should be snug enough to where you are able to bend, stretch, or squat. If the belt pops a loose you will probably need to adjust it. Start with outer belt first and then the inner belt. If the belt keeps coming a loose, get a bigger size belt. If overlaps to much, you need a smaller size.Hopes this help."November"

I can get my Surge (new style), 2 bit packs and the extension in it. It is a very tight fit at first, but it's stretching out fine. At first I couldn't get the extension in it, so I inserted it in the webbing on the back...but then I discovered a sleeve on the belt loop that holds it perfectly (it's kind of hidden).

Lorenzo, I am sorry I cannot tell you. I cut the extra belt length off as I am small. You might consider buying two and connecting these together with the belt buckle. You can easily slide off the extra black wedges and save them.

I will say this, the instuctions for installing the belt are not clear and in the picture the lock stop is actually on the wrong side. Not sure if that is your problem. If the belt is installed correctly and it's still binding then it might just be defective.

The belt sizes obviously differ but with that being said, it should fit majority of the normal size belts though. I hope that answers your questions.

The I belt I have is rigid across the webbing due to the extra velcro sewn into it.

I've found those fitting higher up on the "waist" are better. I tried several brands before I found one that worked. All of them seem to run small so I'm not surprised to hear you're having troubles with an extra small. Good luck.

Velcro can overlap ( safer ) in my case as I brought one size bigger for my dog according to amazon user review ( coz the buckles clasp is shorter for the listed size )

I wear a 38" Belt, and when fitted there is about 10" of excess belt. The buckle is a friction type double loop so the smaller your waist the more excess belt you will have. It should fit you just fine.

There are several little tabs that can be cut out. Cutting one or two out will accommodate a bigger belt. You can even create a custom cant by taking out different ones on each side.Hope this helps

I use a 5.11 belt which is 1.5 inches wide. I just checked and there is space for a wider belt, though it would be harder to use on some pants.

Wrap the velcro in the opposite direction. I've never had this problem with mine, but I had a friend who did. He was wrapping the velcro the wrong way.

I have the same size. I'm assuming from your post that you haven't yet tried adjusting the sides and shoulders for a better fit? I'm 6' 5 inches and had to adjust the shoulder straps out all the way for me to be able to lower the waist enough so that I could attach the belt loops on the bottom to my webbing belt.

you need to measure around the waist where the belt will sit. Look at the messurements on the belt and match them with the size you need to order. Unfortunately we did not do that and ended up ordering the wrong size and it was way to big. When we messured and matched that with the belt I reordered and the belt it fit perfectly.

I would probably try and find something a little smaller. I'm not tall by any means (5' 7'') but it is a bit constrictive. I wear a 29 waist and it fits but I definitely have to tighten it far down the Velcro.
