For well over a year I have had two different colors of the 1.5" Trainer Belts from 5.11. One is worn almost daily and the other sparingly. Neither is worse for wear and the Velcro is holding up just fine.

My daily carry is a shield 9mm, usually in an Alien Gear iwb, but sometimes in a basic belt slide owb. Occasionally, I'll change it up with a full size G22 or 1911, iwb or owb. None have proven problematic with these belts.

While I don't think the buckle has a high profile, I can't give an honest answer on whether it will hang up on things. My gut's protruding further, so the buckle is protected from the elements, so to speak. However, I can tell you that I plan on buying another when needed.
