5.11 Tactical 1.5 Inch TDU Belt, Non-Metallic Buckle | 59551

Overview of the 5.11 Tactical 1.5 Inch TDU Belt | 59551

A Lightweight Belt Built for Security Checkpoints

The 5.11 Tactical 1.5 Inch TDU Belt 59551 is a nylon web belt with a non-metallic plastic buckle. 5.11 calls it metal detector friendly, so court security deputies, corrections officers, and frequent flyers spend less time pulling off a belt at every screening point.

You get 1.5 inch durable nylon webbing with quadruple stitched reinforcements and a fade and fray resistant finish. The 1.5 inch width threads through most uniform, tactical, and casual pant loops.

More Than a Belt

5.11 states the TDU Belt converts into a secure tie down or secondary carry strap. That helps when you run short on straps at the range, on a camping trip, or in the back of a patrol car.

Sizing Tip

5.11 says sizes run small and recommends ordering 2 sizes up from your pant size. Black comes in S to 4XL, and Coyote is available in size S.

Key Features

• Non-metallic buckle: a plastic buckle that 5.11 rates as metal detector friendly.
• Durable nylon webbing: 1.5 inch webbing that resists fading and fraying.
• Quadruple stitched reinforcements: extra stitching helps the belt hold up to daily wear.
• Converts to a strap: use it as a tie down or secondary carry strap when you need one.
• Ergonomic and lightweight: 5.11 describes the TDU Belt as ergonomic, affordable, and highly functional.
• Two colors: Black in sizes S to 4XL and Coyote in size S.

Specifications

Variant SKUs, MPNs, and UPCs

Compatibility

• Pant loops: fits loops that accept a 1.5 inch belt, including most uniform, tactical, and casual pants.
• Belt-mounted gear: works with holsters, magazine cases, and pouches sized for 1.5 inch belts, such as the Galco Stryker Belt Holster and the Galco Cop Double Magazine Case.
• Wider loops: if your tactical pants have wider loops or you carry heavier gear, choose the 5.11 Tactical 1.75 Inch TDU Belt 59552.
• Flatter buckle: for a lower profile under a tucked shirt, compare the 5.11 Tactical TDU Low Pro Belt 56514.
• Not a duty belt: a full patrol rig needs a 2 or 2.25 inch outer duty belt. This belt is also not rated for climbing, rappelling, or rescue loads.

Intended Users

Corrections officers and court security deputies wear the TDU Belt because they walk through metal detectors many times a shift. Security guards at screened facilities and airports use it as an everyday uniform belt.

Plainclothes detectives, EMS crews, and military personnel rely on it for light carry with a holster or magazine case. Civilian buyers choose it as an EDC belt, a travel belt for airport screening, and a backup tie down strap for camping and preparedness kits.
