I wear a standard uniform belt with a basketweave design. Not cheap to buy, but I've worn it nearly every day for over five years and it continues to last. Other that a few spots where the black has worn off, it looks as good as the day I purchased it.

Blackhawk Rigger's Belt about 30 bucks good quality but don't think you'd need a riggers belt.
Ditto X 2. I'm actually on my second belt because, I've lost some weight, and the first just didn't fit....

$20 belt I bought at Moore's Clothing. Wear it with everything but shorts (for that I have a fabric double D-ring belt...)

You looking for a belt that hold up your pants, or one that holds your equipment?
I have one of these, but the webbing is too soft for my taste. Instead I have a Wilderness Instructor belt from Tactical Prod LLC (5 stitch model). It is thicker and heavier webbing than the Blackhawk and holds its shape better when carrying heavier items (leatherman, big radio, sidearm, etc.) It has the same buckle as the Blackhawk and is rated to be used to clip in on rigging, but it just has the buckle, not the second metal piece.
I believe it was about $50, and is avalable in 1" increments in length and in widths of 1.5" or 1.75".
I have had it for 3 years and wear it every day. Still looks and functions great.

The second metal piece you speak of is what makes it useful for fast roping... That's what makes a riggers belt a riggers belt. clip a 'biner on there with a super-8 and your good to go...though your crotch suffers if your belt isn't tight enough we mostly use harnesses 'cept when we're on QRF and get a radioed out...
Very true, I made a mistake in my last post though. I said the Wilderness has the same buckle as the Maxpedition. Instead of a separate point from the buckle to tie into, the Wilderness has a buckle with a space on one side for that purpose. So it is a riggers belt, I just didn't describe it correctly.
Have a look. Scroll down for the description.

I got a Walmart one that's held up for two years, and it was only $12. I also have a standard issue duty belt that is incompatible with my waist.

I've been wearing the 5.11 rigger's belt. Nylon with a internal stiffener. It holds stuff really well... and I don't have any belt sag, no matter what is on the belt.
