Double Alpha belt width?

[mwx40x40]

Are double alpha belts wider than 1.5”? If so, how wide are they? I have some mag pouches with 1.5” tunnel loops and want to make sure they will be compatible with DAA belt. I have heard the belts are slightly wider than 1.5”

Do we know why? Getting CR speed mag pouches on are a major PIA. I also bought a 1.5” belt holder and had to modify it to make it slide on the belt at all.

From Shooters Connection description, 

From Saul on his belts.

Regarding the width of the belt: As I told you before - this was not a mistake, and not something I plan to "fix" or change. the belt is PURPOSELY made 1.5mm wider than the CR dimension is. we do this, so that the holsters and pouches sit rock solid and do not rock around on the belt. Yes, I am aware that it makes fitting the gear onto the belt harder, but, I believe this is the better choice. You may have to struggle a little ONCE to fit your gear onto the belt, but after that, you have a better performing set up. I too have had one or two complaints, but no returns. ALL types of gear I am aware of can be fitted onto our belt! Without modification to the belt of gear. in fact, in my display I have one belt on which we mount a GR, CR speed, Hoppner and Scheman and Ghost holster and pouches. and ALL fit.

I like the DAA belts, I rigged up an els adapter for my DAA belt for 3 gun as well. The fact that they are bigger is a plus as I'm not seeing any movement in my gear.
