Next, is the belt that you wear with the ammo carrier, knife & sheath and other accessories. This belt is 1 ¾ inches wide and is designed to be worn over your person and fairly loose (not tight) so that the ammo carrier and knife may be easily slid into position for quick and easy access. I recommend that you order this belt four to six inches larger than your waist size. For instance, I wear a 34 belt for my pants, but I use a 40 inch belt for my ammo carrier, knife and other accessories.
