Great belts. Fit great, look great. Read more

I got this order of two belts, one black one brown, November 2019. These are the first ratchet belts I've ever had. So far I like them a lot. I use them every day, and like others find them fast, easy, convenient. I've not had good luck with conventional belts lasting, maybe I pull them in too tight, but I find the surface cracks and before long they don't look good, especially where the holes are. These ratchet belts don't have the holes obviously, and since you never bend them way back to fasten, so far they have held up like new. I do like how fast you can pull the lever and it pops open. The ad says the buckle is light, it certainly is NOT. The weight of the buckle does tend to pull the belt down a bit in front if worn loosely. But then again, the buckle seems pretty heavy duty and substantial. I liked these Chaoren belts, so I thought I'd try the Mio Marino that seemed to have more choices for straps and buckles. I got a flat black finish buckle and flat (not shiny) strap for weekends, yard work, and so forth. See photos. I prefer the Chaoren belt over the Mio Marino, but only because the track that the buckle engages, is extended closer to the tip, so I have only a small stub protruding out the buckle. Personal preference. You can see what I'm talking about in the picture. Otherwise, I think the same factory probably makes these, as the buckle mechanics are completely identical, and the straps are stitched and made identically. Even the gift boxes they came in are very similar. The replacement straps should work in either buckle too, as they are the same in width and thickness. I got the 1 and 1/8th width by the way, these belts are also sold in a 1 and 3/8th, so be sure you are ordering what you want. Are they leather? I think the underside is, I think the finished outer layer is synthetic. I took the part I cut off (remember you cut these to length yourself, you'll want some heavy scissors, I used tin snips) and put a flame to it and it sure seemed like the surface (outer) layer melted and smelled like burning rubber. But then there is some kind of artificial filler between the inner and out layers. They both are cut to fit (go long at first and try it), then the strap is slid into the buckle and you flip down a latch with teeth that hold it. They've stayed attached with no issues so far, and if it pulls the end of the belt off I guess I can trim a little and resnap it down. See the closeup pics. So yes, I really like the ratchet idea, I liked the Chaoren because the track goes nearer the tip, and otherwise the Chaoren and Mio Marino are pretty much identical, at least the ones I got. Finally, give me a "helpful" click if this helped you out. Update November 2021: the belts are still holding up fine, one I wear to work 5 days a week. I forgot I was wearing my weekend Mio Marino once when I jumped in swimming, didn't seem to hurt it. Just the once though. Update December 2022: they still work fine! Read more

Great product, never knew this type (ratchet belt) even existed! Pretty amazing, good quality, custom fit! Read more

These belts look great and the belt buckles are of a nice quality with a well designed ratchet mechanism. The only issue I have with these belts is that they are described as “Genuine Leather”. I had to cut my belts to reduce the size and the ease of cutting the belts with standard scissors is an indication these are not high quality leather belts. I dissected the pieces I cut off to get a sense of the construction. Most of the belt is manufactured from polymer fibers. The outer layer looks to be a thin sheet of polyurethane. I think that layer can be easily damaged. I grade these belts as 4 stars because of the reasonable price, well functioning belt buckle and overall look. I don’t expect the belts to last an exceptionally long time, but should last long enough to get the value back from the purchase price. Read more

Love the ratchet belt because it can be adjust by small increments rather than holes in the leather spaced to far apart. Nice quality leather and buckles. Read more
