The redesigned Specialist maintains its low profile and now provides security without the need for hook and loop. The steel buckle holds the belt securely in place and the provided elastic keeper keeps the tail out of the way. This design allows for the most usable space for gear.

The tail end of the new Specialist threads easily through one side of the low-profile steel buckle.

The elastic keeper is placed on the belt near the buckle, this way the keeper does not need to be removed from the belt when taking the belt on and off.

Placing the keeper closer to the buckle increases security, for the highest level of security place the keeper next to the buckle.

The Specialist can also be worn with the tail threaded behind the buckle if desired. Using the keeper with the belt secured in this manner will be more a bit more cumbersome but those that wish to have the tail arranged in this manner for enhanced security purposes will be willing to take the extra moment to do so.
