Thomas Bates Nylon Outdoor Hiker Belt -Easy Trim Webbing for Perfect Fit Up to Size 42"- Heavy Duty Plastic Adjustable Buckle

Favorite belt. It’s rugged, comfortable, is good looking, has infinite adjustment, will fit any size waist no problem. And it’s easy to use. I need a belt that doesn’t stretch since all my pants are made with stretch material. It’s why a no stretch belt is needed. Stretch pants are easy to put on but they tend to fall when you’re walking. Great product!

If this is the kind of belt you want, I think it is perfect. It is tough and seems like it will be extremely durable despite being a lighter thickness and weight that makes it easy to use and wear. It's nice looking, its width is narrow enough to fit easily in nearly any belt loop width, and the buckle is easy to use and holds tight (just lift the end on the left up to 90 degrees with it on--it may stick a little the first time you open it). Plus it's a very good price. Just a couple comments: (1) the color in the picture on Amazon isn't accurate--I bought navy and it was a true navy blue color (which I wanted), but the photo is a much lighter blue. (2) After cutting it to size (I just laid it beside a belt that fit correctly to get the right spot to cut it), when you apply the match (or lighter flame) to seal the end, don't overdo it--a quick sealing is all that's needed. Err on the light side. After my first one, I've ordered two more.

It's a good, cheap belt. Ironically I bought this belt to work at an Amazon Fulfillment Center as a summer job from school. They scan all employees on the way OUT with metal detectors and I got sick of having to go through "secondary screening" because of my belt setting it off.If you want a higher end belt go with and 1.5" or larger because this will hold up your pants and that's about all. It must be about 50" untrimmed. You just cut the thing to length with a heavy pair of scissors and melt the end. It suggests you use a candle but I recommend a cheap disposable lighter OUTDOORS because the melting material stinks.The buckler is adequate IF you're only using it to hold up pants. Another review suggested you use it to go through airport security. It works going through the detector for me. I think the plastic buckle MIGHT be an adequate tourniquet for a short period but I wouldn't bet on it.After finishing my "training week" at Amazon, it's worked. I feel like I got hit by a train! Not a job for the physically inert. They move almost a million items (Internal, not to customers) on some 10 hour shifts. They need to can the "robot" videos and show a wide shot speeded up video of the sorting floors to show how much stuff moves through these places. EVERY SINGLE ITEM shipped has an external inspection at every step. No one opens boxes and sends them to you though, external only! I thank God I was a master inspector at a previous job. I don't know how people without it could do that job. I still don't know if I could keep up the pace for years myself. Thank God it's a temp position!

I don't write reviews, but I bought this belt 9 1/2 years ago, and it is the best and most used belt I've owned. I've worn this probably 360 of 365 days of every year since then and it has held up perfectly. It never slips, and is always perfectly adjustable to the exact right tightness regardless of the clothes you wear, or the tightness you had it buckled to the last time you wore it. I'm getting a second one, just because I want to make sure I have a spare in case something ever happens to this one. it is lightweight but super strong, and never slips. I'm not getting any discount or perk from this review, I just love the belt. If you get it, you won't regret it and it'll be the best 20 bucks you've spent, it was for me!

I have this belt in four different colors and initially bought one so I would not need to take it off going through TSA at the airport. I liked the belt so much that I bought three more and now use them exclusively. The material is very durable and the plastic buckle is very sturdy. The belt looks good, not dressy but great for anything other than "dress-up" occasions. I did have one buckle fail after about three years but that was due to me getting it caught in a closet door....my fault, not the belt's! I'll keep buying these in the future if and when my existing belts wear out!

Looks good , works well , and it was easy to cut to the length I wanted .

Ordered simple black belt. Webbing is slightly thinner than previously purchased multicolor version. Absolutely love the previous belt. This one feels more like the free ones that sometimes comes with a pair of hiking pants. That would be ok but it doesn’t hold has well as multicolored ones and has to be recinched periodically. Don’t know if the colored ones just naturally have more threads which makes them thicker or the brand is going shrinkflation. But I can no longer recommend this belt. Colored one 5 stars. Single color black 2.

Decent belt. Unlike some others, after a year of moderate use I have not had any sort of failure with the buckle. I have worn it enough that the web material is starting to look a bit worn.Before you buy, be aware of an important design issue: Unlike most web belts, you cannot adjust the length by making longer/shorter at the buckle end! To shorten it you have to very carefully cut the "active" end of the web strap, and use heat to seal it. Also unlike most web belts, this lacks any sort of hardened material crimped-on "tip" to protect the webbing as it feeds into the buckle.I guess my biggest disappointment though relates to wearing it through security at airports. I travel *A LOT*, and based on comments by others about this belt I thought I would be able to wear it through the scanners. Well, perhaps it would not set off the scanner, but we must remember the human factor. After a year of frequent travel I have yet to be able to wear it though a detector. TSA personnel bark and bark and bark "Take off your belt" before I even get a chance to try that aspect out. "But the buckle is plastic..." means nothing to them. And heck, you really don't want to get one of them mad at you for not following their orders! Bummer.
