NOTE: the version I bought is "Black-elastic Belt". There are different buckle styles, this review is for the one with the buckle that has 2 plastic pieces, one on each end, that snap together. I purchased this belt because I often kneel down at work, and was tired of my other belt tightening around me when doing so. I was looking to add a sort of "sweatpants waistband" to my stretch khakis. The belt was very stiff length-wise when I tried it for the first time, but it became slightly more stretchy after taking it off and pulling it apart in 1ft increments, working my way along the entire length of the belt. It is still quite stiff and I do feel it tighten slightly when kneeling, but it does have give and is more comfortable than my leather belt. If you want to give your pants a "loose-elastic" waistband, this isn't the belt for you. This belt is more for someone who wants a little bit of give, along with an extremely quick buckle, as well as a quality size adjustment system. I set it to the correct size, and haven't had to re-adjust it for about a month now. It has also held its shape as it is somewhat rigid width-wise (it hasn't curled into a C shape along it's width, like some elastic does over time). It is a great sturdy belt that has a quick buckle, awesome size adjustment/adjustment hold-over-time, that also stretches some (but not too much). Read more
Nice belt. Being a friction fit, it's infinitely adjustable (as opposed to to the finite adjustments of tongue and hole). Since there is absolutely no metal parts, metal detectors won't react to it (though TSA guards might still ask you to remove it). Additionally, being fabric, it won't delaminate like leather. The included belt loop helps when the loose end falls between the loops on your trousers, particularly when said loops are spaced farther apart. The only real downside, and this is very minor, is that it's easy to lose that little belt loop as it's free floating. A Read more
Great belt that fits nicely and sturdy. Be warned! Not TSA approved. You will still have to remove it. Their scanners are based on density not metal. So even if it doesnt have metal the nylon is dense. But easy off and easy on. Read more

This belt is amazing! I'm a guy with a big belly and constantly pulling up my pants. The primary reason why I bought this belt is because I travel a lot, I have the trusted traveler program, but my belt always sets off the airport metal detectors... requiring me to remove my belt anyway and my pants are falling off. I tried the belt when I got it... I can secure my belt tight enough so my pants aren't falling off anymore! The plastic buckle secures the belt! I was worried because the price was so low... I just ordered 2 more belts! Read more
I've had this belt for 5 years and it's still going strong. I just recently ordered a second one just in case the first one ever breaks, and the old one looks just like the new one! It's super easy to adjust the belt on the fly, and it holds where you place it. It's kind of crazy how well it works and how strong it is for something that's all plastic. I wear this belt literally every single day and it's still going strong. Read more

Strong lightweight belt and the belt buckle holds tight. Worked well for me while backpacking the PCT. Read more
