Arcade The Original Unisex Adventure Belt, Heavy Duty Elastic Webbing, Non-Metal Travel Friendly Buckle

I got this belt when I was recovering from abdominal surgery and needed something to hold my pants up that was adjustable and comfortable against my sore belly. That was long ago but I still wear this belt almost every day. It is ideal for wearing with shorts, being casual, being active, hiking, doing yard work, just hanging around, or even when skiing (if you wear ski pants instead of bibs). It is also completely non-metallic so it is ideal to wear when going through the airport - no need to remove your belt for TSA. I do recommend the slim version the most. I have both sizes and the wider one is a bit cumbersome to get through the belt loops on some of my jeans and shorts.

I needed an belt for outdoor use. This worked out great. I have a 33 inch waist. It is supposed to fit up to a 40 inch waist. For me, the fit is good and it keeps the pants up. Because it has some stretch to it, it is also really comfortable compared to most belts I have worn. It's very easy use, the buckle is simple to open or close. The buckle is made of plastic, though, so durability may be an issue. I have only had it for a few weeks so far.It's a bit pricey but if your are looking for a comfortable belt for hiking and such, it may be worth it.

Strong, imperceptible, contains no metal

This belt uses a friction loop for adjustment, which means it's much more adjustable than a belt that uses belt holes for adjustment. The elastic nature of the fabric also means the belt doesn't dig in when it's set short enough to properly hold your pants in place. The plastic belt buckle is thin, so it doesn't dig in when you're sitting down.On the other hand, a regular belt is trivial and fast to adjust, since you just pick the right hole. The friction loop requires considerably more fiddling and time to get right. Fortunately, once you're happy with the adjusted length, you don't have to do it again.

These belts are rely awesome. They feel so much better for me than a traditional hard belt with any of the other style buckles. These stretch with your body for me with skateboarding I don’t want a belt jabbing my stomach so with the small easy to clip in buckle and the stretch material these are my go to belts.

This belt is wonderful. I can move well without feeling restricted due to the elasticity of the belt. It is easy to adjust and passes through TSA.

Really easy to adjust and very confidant to wear.

I've recently spent way too much time trying to learn about "modern" belts, and looked at both the Groove and the Grip6. Decided to purchase a Grip6, it arrived a week ago, and right out of the box, I knew I wasn't going to like it. Stiff cargo strap material, like something used to tie down cargo in a truck, and (1.5" version) the belt was just a "look at me" smooth hunk of curved, glossy(black) metal. The belt didn't go with anything, including 501's, and when on, looked like I was a wannabe spec ops or off duty/wannabe police officer. Wore it around for a day, and found the stiff cargo strap made my pants sort of dig in to my pelvic bones (I have an athletic build and a flat stomach). Undoing the belt wasn't that big of a deal, until I had to go to the bathroom, and every time, it was a bit of a, "why won't this thing undo?" Of course it did unbuckle just fine, but there's that; I want to go to the bathroom, not suck in my stomach enough to leverage the buckle away from me, create space and an angle so that the cargo strap can be release...etc. Needless to say, I returned it. Hated to be that guy, but I wasn't happy with it. IMO, the Grove looked no different, and a trip to their website a month ago, resulted in dozens and dozens of spam emails from them, for weeks. I don't respond well to gorilla marketing.Enter the Arcade Belt. It was recommended by a family member, and as soon as I looked it up on Amazon, I knew I was going to like it. It arrived today, and as soon as I took it out of the shipping bag, I knew it was going to be perfect (for me). It's flexible, it's stretch, my pants aren't digging into my pelvic bones, and all it takes is a very normal squeeze of the 2 "triggers" on the buckle, and it's undone...10th of a second operation that requires nothing other than 2 fingers. I ordered the Navy color and it's perfect with a pair of 501's. Just looks like a nothing of a belt, and not like I'm trying to get attention. Same with the small, dull finish, buckle.... it's just a nothing. Lifetime warranty. I couldn't be more pleased with it.
