Heavy Duty Instructors belts are constructed of SCUBA-type webbing. They feature a drop forged buckle - inspired by the parachute-spec buckle found on our original Instructors Belts - finished with Cerakote, with an epoxy-finished tip that prevents fraying. Hook-and-loop closure. Ideal for left hand holster use, the tension adjustment is on the right side when looped through the pants counter-clockwise (as is customary by US males). Looping the belt clockwise puts the adjustment on the left side and best accommodates right-side holster carry.
