If you ever need a good load of gear attached to your belt, I highly recommend a padded belt. Using a traditional thick webbing belt will consistently result in pain and discomfort when worn for long periods with only moderate loads. One of the more advanced padded belt design's is Blue Force Gear's SOC-C belt displayed in this entry. Those whom have used other padded belts will immediately notice the SOC-C is much easier to adjust and change belts out of. Typically a lot of routing and velcro dodging is required, however the SOC-C has a flap based design for full access.

Smokejumper Wildland Rigger Belt

I like to help out the little businesses out there when I can so wanted to spread the word about this cost effective belt. Construction is minimal using mil-spec materials. The base is MIL-W-4088 type VII webbing (about 1.75" wide) that is sewn down in a serious way and the buckle is a classic rigger belt style rated for 2500 lbs. The lengths typically come long so you can easily cut and burn as desired.
Clearly it can hold up your pants, but when it comes down to a crap situation it has the capability to save your life as well. <wildland ebay store>

5.11-TACTICAL Trainer belt

The trainer belt is a solid BDU style belt with a custom harness adapter (metal hardware) instead of the usual surplus one. A generous portion of velcro allows for ease in adjustability and security of your extra slack. The end has been rounded off and coated or heat treated so it won't fray. This particular belt is fairly flexible for comfort and is 1.5" wide while the 5.11 Operator belt is 1.75" wide and more stiff. Although mostly meant for holding up your pants, if it came down to it, this belt could withstand the user's full body weight and then some.

The Liger Gun Belt is a great example of Maxpedition's many unique products. Combining a sleek look and military functionality makes this belt great for duty belt functionality with casual belt looks. The main strap of the belt is made from Ligerthane which possesses over 2,000 lbs of tensile strength with over 300 lbs of hole pull strength. The highly abrasion-resistant polyurethane coating makes the belt totally impervious to salt water, blood, mildew, mold, rot and resistant to many common solvents. Ligerthane is a good balance of flexibility, yet stiff enough to be used as a gun/duty belt.

Shown here with a TT duty belt, this is a pretty sweet ride when it comes to padded duty belts. There is velcro in the belt placement pockets to help hold in your velcro equipped duty belt, but it was damn near impossible to get this TT one in there due to the velcro on velcro party. A simple webbing belt was included as seen on pic 2 which is a bit easier to take on and off since it lacks velcro. I hope to get some custom drop legs on this setup soon and see if my hips hold it up well enough to not need suspenders.
*As a quick update I've used this belt with 2 droplegs without suspenders and found it overall pretty comfortable.
