how does it compare to the 5" belt

Gives great support to the entire lumbosacral region. Worth the few extra dollars that you will spend.

I don't because I have never used the 5" belt, but I have had back problems most of my life so I always prefer the little extra stability when doing shoulder presses.

If you're a guy, you're probably lifting a bit heavier than me (I'm a 130lb woman - I got this belt in size small since it was one of the only belts I could find that was small enough), but I squat 255 and deadlift 300 and the belt feels totally solid to me. It's pretty heavy-duty plastic and strong velcro. I know a couple guys who have this belt and are putting up way bigger numbers than me, and they seem to have no problems either.

This belt is the stiffer of the two models offer. The tactical "Trainer" belt is the flimsier of the two. The Operator belt is stiffer, 1/8" thick nylon, so it has stiffness to it. The buckle is excellent, very solid and well made. Overall, I have been well pleased with this belt. I am in Law Enforcement and wear it with 511 pants as a tactical belt to hold my holstered weapon.

the difference is the weight of the belt, and the width of the belt too and also go by your size in the waist too thats how i ordered it for my husband

Sorry, I sent you an answer based upon the belts that I have used from Mueller, and they were NOT adjustable. The two I bought were different sizes and were double pull. Since I run a back rehab clinic I was able to use both of them, even though they were undersized, they each helt to the velcro quite well. I looked up the adjustable and it says fits up to 50". I have yet to try that one.

James, the belt does not slip. I was worried about that too, initially, but the material gets less slick with use and the buckle grips quite well.

5.5" and 5 1/2" are the same length... Both are less than 5 11/16" (5.6875");... as for it's suitability for a running case; it depends on how vigorous you are and the terrain you're running on. If it's extreme, get a zippered case... Hope this helps...

I am a big guy at 5'11 & 190 lbs. I have a 36" waist & I bought the two bottle version of this belt in a large & it is way too big. Usable, but I have to use my daughter's hair ties to hold down the excess belt. I found the 4 bottle version locally & tried on the medium & it fits me. As I still am losing weight as I train for a full marathon, going with the medium makes sense for me.

It not that bad, anthough I did need to renforce the belt loop. Otherwise I've been using it for the last several month with no issues.

I would recommend a small. It will provide you a good tight fit without a lot if excess belt getting in your way.

yes the belt that I bought was the long one and it works perfectly, amazon saved me $30.00. over the J.D. dealer. :)

While most of my belts are about one and one quarter inch wide, you should not have anydifficulty using a 1.5 inch belt. I even tried a canvas belt widen then 1.5 inches, and it worked fine. Incidentally, this is a very nice holster, with quality construction and a nicemagnetic type flap. I am very pleased with this holster.

I have owned this belt for over a year. I used it a lot at first, but not much lately. It works very well, in fact, I plan on using it more often.

I have a 34" waist and use a medium belt. It's a good snug fit but that's how I like it.

I found the descriptions confusing too, but the large is definitely a different size than the small. Both have a grid of 3x3 post spacings, with 20 mm center-to-center spacing for the large and 13 mm center-to-center for the small. On the ones that I have, the small does not have variable spacers for the belt and fits best on a 1.25 in web belt (and won't fit on anyting larger than 1.5 in), while the large does have variable spacers for the belt and can fit much wider belts. I hope this information helps. I'm not sure if it matters from who you buy these, but neither of mine have any indication of manufacturer on them, but they work splendidly.
