I just bought a new web belt. It is the blackhawk duty belt. It is really, really, really stiff. Almost too stiff. Does anyone know how I can kind of soften it without ruining the belt and shortening the life of the belt? I am just looking to make it a bit more flexible.

Any ideas???

wear it.

Mine is still pretty stiff, but much better than it was new. Mine still feels like a thin piece of plastic to some extent, but it has molded to my body, so it's comfortable.

Work it back and forth by hand, over and over and over.

You can also run it through the wash in cold water with some softener added.

Don't put it in the dryer though! Pick it up and work it back and forth bending it by hand as it is drying. Tim consuming, but it works. 8)
