Solid
41.3" Great
Tough, holds up really well(so far). A bit difficult to adjust the length, but that's likely because I just haven't come across this kind of belt before.

A humble but necessary part of the East German load bearing system, complete with an embossed, powder-coated DDR buckle.
As a belt for your pants it's absolute overkill. A testament to the soviet way of doing things it's not lightweight or wieldy in any respect of the words but by god it will never let you down.
It's borderline ratchet-strap nylon will keep even the heaviest-loaded boomer cargo shorts as upheld as their guaranteed social security checks that the next generation will never know the taste of. It's buckle although commie-symbol-adorned can be easily hidden if you roll with your shirt untucked.
Alternatively, if you're a crazy person who ACTUALLY wants to use the belt for it's original purpose as a load bearing belt with the combat pack, It's an essential piece that really brings the whole thing together.
Sizing
To determine your belt size, measure the circumference of your waist. You'll want to choose a belt size that has a maximum size larger than your waist.

Worth every penny. Wear it everyday for work.
Holds all my tools, no slack, no stretch, no break.
Had belts twice the price disintegrate within seconds after purchase. This thing exists to live.
Good material, great quality.

I needed a new stiff belt to hold a canteen and because I had slimmed out of my previous belt. This belt was a pain in the ass to figure out how to adjust but the way it holds also meant that I wouldn't need to adjust it again after it was. You cannot adjust the belt while wearing it, you can only do so with it off and unhooked, so spend some time adjusting and fitting till it feels right. Once it's done, all you do is hook and unhook. The belt is ~1.7 inches wide and will perfectly fit the Anzug 03 pants, which is what I usually wear it with. It is stiff and inflexible so it was perfect to hold my canteen pouch and canteen. Pick whichever length has a good margin of lead, you can adjust it however far you need to be. I picked the 45.3" for my ~36-38 waist and it was fine, as the extra length is under the belt, so it still retains a clean look.
