Overview of the 5.11 Tactical 1.75" Operator Belt | 59405
Built for real load support
You need a belt that carries weight without flex and stays comfortable through long shifts and range days. The 5.11 Tactical 1.75" Operator Belt 59405 delivers a wide 1.75 inch nylon web that spreads weight from holsters, mag pouches, and tools so your hips do not take the strain.
Proven strength and hardware
A solid stainless steel D ring buckle locks in the fit and is tested to a tensile strength up to 5,100 pounds. From the photo, you can see the black matte finish on the buckle and the heavy stitch reinforcements across the ultra strong nylon mesh for long service life.
Field ready durability and versatility
The webbing is fade and rip resistant and stands up to abrasion in duty use, training, and outdoor work. When needed, the belt converts to a tie down, carry strap, or emergency harness to help you improvise under pressure.
Sizing and color options
Sizes run small. Order one size up from your pant size. If you carry inside the waistband or stack multiple pouches, consider two sizes up for comfort. Colors include Black, Kangaroo Tan, TDU Green, and Coyote Brown. The image shows black, a tan tone, and a green consistent with those options.
