Upgraded from an AMS SMU belt that I used for years. This is certainly much lighter and thinner, but the biggest advantage is the direct mount Bang Hanger and magazine pouches. The lock up on the pouches in particular is a game changer in that they are tight against the belt for super easy and fast reloads, not to mention getting the perfect angles to more naturally fit the position on the belt. I'm a size 32/33, so opted for the Medium, and the buckle attachment basically uses up all the loop portion of the belt so the belt overlaps fully. I think the Small would not have had enough overlap so think I made the right choice. As the other comments mentioned, it will take some time to set it up and can be a little frustrating, but once you get it set up the way you like it is well worth it.
