Well, overall I like the Ultimate Max combo. I have never had suspenders and really like them. Being over 60 years old and I need them! I find that the many smaller slots inside the tool belt are very hard for me to see when lighting is not the best and am missing the slots and that is frustrating. The measuring tape holder, could be used for other things as well I guess, is in a very bad spot for me and tape measure pops off every time I bend over. I am having to move it directly center of front of belt which it then just slides off when you take the belt off if you are not carefull and mindful of that. I think that there is room for improvement with that. I bought some extra add-ons, which I will never use probably because there is just no place to put them. Living in a cold weather climate with the cold weather gear on I thought that an XL would be fine but can only get to the first home on the belt. Wish belt was a little longer. Over all I do like the belt. The construction seems good. I am going to have to figure out how to make it work a little better for me.
Made extremely well, very study, and well thought out placement and sizing of pockets in each pouch. 4 stars instead of 5 because the tape measure clip was so loose that every time I bent over it popped out (replaced it with Fastcap tape clip), and also because the sizing of the pouches was obviously designed around a much larger human; on an XL belt I bet everything would fit better. Sizes are also larger than advertised: the Medium I ordered was meant to fit 28-32" waist, but I'm a 30 and I'm on the tightest belt hole. Would prefer a size small. But overall it's great and suits me well. Worth every penny.
Bags are great but if you are a 32 waist for pants get a size large. I got a medium as suggested and I’m on the last hole/ belt is too small
