@James Mitchner,
Thank you.
When I was in NCO school, we did an exercise where you had to use your belts to build a bridge out of 3 lengths of wood. This is back when they authorized the riggers belts. One thing we noticed was the reinforced riggers belts were not as flexible as the non-reinforced belts. They still worked but made for “who goes first” over our bridge a little interesting.
I have been looking at those cobra buckles.
