Men's Tactical Stretch Belt, 1.5" Military Elastic Nylon Duty Riggers Belt Metal Buckle

Bought perhaps what was the original design of this style belt on Kickstarter years ago. It was great until the looped part started to fray and ultimately came apart. Replacing just the belt was $35+. Found this one on Amazon and I like it even better than the original because of the elastic in the belt. Actually appears to be a more quality design and it has a belt loop to tuck the end in which the other one didn't have. All in all, a quality product at a great price point.

I purchased the original Venturi belt when it was just a Kickstarter campaign and wore it every day for nearly six years! Unfortunately, it is time to retire old faithful. When I came across this belt at this price, it was a no-brainer. I was hopeful I could swap out and use my red buckle, but it is slightly smaller than this belt (see pictures). Other than that, the added stretch is fantastic, and the upgraded attachment point should prevent fraying.This belt is well worth the money!

I normally put my belt on passing it around counter-clockwise through the belt loops, but if you do that with this belt, the clip, which is shaped like a J and the other end just oops over it, ends up upside down, allowing for the possibility of gravity causing the belt to come undone. So, I have to pass it through clockwise instead, unlike every belt I've ever worn in my life. It is a little unusual, but I can deal with it and have worn it as my only belt for the last 45 days.Every inch of the belt seems well manufactured, there are no loose threads, it is thick enough to be sturdy with out being thicker than a normal leather belt, the clasp is metal, and the length is just right. If I had to guess, I'd say anyone who wears a pants sized from a 32/34 up to a 38/40 should have no issue wearing this (note that on the smaller end of that range, it will have a long tail, and on the top end it will have a pretty short one, but it should be wearable for anyone in that range). I like my pants and shorts loose around the waist, and for older clothes (12-25 years old, not people, clothing age), I wear a 34 - 36 size (I think they have stretched a bit over the years...), but in new clothes I tend to wear 38/40 size and have no issues with the length of this belt (measuring my waist right now it is exactly 41 inches).It does have a small loop that you can slide around to where ever you want and hang something from it with a clip/carabiner, or other type of clasp. This is cool and useful if you have a need for it.My only issue that seems to be unfixable/ignoreable is that it slowly looses while I wear it, not to the point that it would fall off, but if you like a tight belt, this isn't it. It stays on and comfortable, think of it like when you eat too much and want to loosen your belt, well with this belt, you won't have to, as it will already be loose. Again, I just want to say, it does not go loose like it would fall off if the belt loops weren't holding it, it just doesn't stay tight. I think what it is that because it stretches, while you are wearing it the belt will readjust itself so that the material is no longer stretched. This only bothers me when I do something that makes me interact with the belt, or I have too much weight in my pockets or hanging off my pants/shorts that it pulls on them down some, because the belt is no longer tight enough to hold them all the way up.I think this issue could be fixed by adding "teeth" to the tightening clasp, that would prevent it from loosening.I still recommend the belt, but I would look for a different one that has a clasp that won't loosen first, and not finding one this one will definitely do. I'd be willing to reorder this belt when I need a replacement, again, if I cannot find one with a clasp that won't loosen.

Such a great belt that I bought a 2nd one. Sleek, rigid, simple, and quick set up for most waist sizes. With this price, you cant go wrong.

Nothing fancy here. No magnets or complicated mechanisms to figure out. Just a sturdy belt that works perfectly for me carrying a Glock 43 in an appendix holster.

For those of us with remnants of bellies since lost to weight loss, flab, etc. this seemed like a great idea. I really liked it at first. The slight give of the mesh seemed to fix the problem of 'painful belt syndrome' that other weave and leather belts have.The problem is, it's not elastic enough. Maybe it's OK for jeans and such, but the tension is so resistant to stretching that it pulls itself loose several times over the course of a day - so you're always re-tightening it. Something that grips along the buckle would help with that, maybe a rubberized coating? But regardless, it comes loose and I've had soft leather belts that had almost as much give as this 'elastic' stretch belt.Also, the end of the belt that goes through loops is too square, too thick at the end and is a nightmare if you have arthritis or normal jean belt loops. I'm not elderly or infirm to the point of being unable to put on my own pants and belts but this is much more difficult because unlike a normal belt, the end is folded over and straight, not pointed or rounded. I get why it's like that, to house the buckle prong that slides into it, but I think they could have sewn it to have a pointy leading edge anyway, or something.Also, it slides around so sometimes I have to haul the back edge of the waist of my jeans up to keep the belt from 'crawling over' the waistband. Hard to explain, but you'd know if it's ever happened to you. It's why you can't usually pull your pants up with the belt itself, it comes above your jeans. Not comfortable.Lastly, I feel compelled to address some of the weird review comments others have made. No, the belt won't 'fall off the buckle' if you put the belt on so that the prong points down. That's ridiculous. There's way too much friction and tension there. Also, even if you want the prong to point up (maybe not a great idea if you're crouching or bending over) you can just flip the belt. It's a little less room facing your waist that way but I personally don't feel it. You aren't limited to 'only putting it on clockwise' or some nonsense like that. People are strange. ;)

Durable unlike most regular belts

42 inch waste and this adjusts perfectly. Light weight and comfortable. Don't even notice you are wearing a belt.

Just what I was looking for, solid and feels good. Not too much stretch, fits the loops on Jean's nicely, and looks good. Getting a couple more.

Does what it's supposed to do and has a clean and functional design.

I bought this specifically for the stretchy elastic belt; "proper" tactical belts are solid nylon, sometimes stiff for the rigours of police/ security gear, so this is a great tacticool work belt if you don't carry guns and batons and ten pounds worth of crap.The only real downside I have is that, sliding the buckle piece down the loop of the belt end can be difficult, as if the belt end's hole was made too small. A slightly wider hole would make it easier, while the elastic belt means you can stretch the tension so it doesn't just fall off.Another more subjective gripe is the buckle's two bolt faces, looks a bit tacky; I bought a different belt with a plainer buckle face, but most of the time my jacket or sweater would cover the belt anyways.I recommend this if you want a tactical-like belt with elastic stretch and a simple quick-detach buckle. I can't say whether this is great for your holsters and tactical gear, though.

I have these belts and many colors. They are great belt for active people.

Bought to go along with hiking pants the stretch is nice but the buckle doesnt hold the belt 100%. It does loosen up and need to be adjusted every so often.
