CHAOREN Ratchet Belt Replacement Strap 1 3/8"

Seems solid & durable. Have been using it for a few weeks without a problem. Was long enough, although I always buy a longer size & trim it down. Would buy again.

These are good value and high quality ratcheting style belts, and fit all of my 1 3/8” ratcheting buckles in different styles. This is a review of the “black and dark brown” two belt combo. Other than different colors/textures, I’m really only looking for a few things on these ratcheting dress belts: 1) Thick enough backing for longer life/durability, as opposed to lower quality, thinner belts. 2) Shorter length from tip to start of the ratcheting strip. Less than 3”, instead of some lower quality, older generation types that have around 4.4”. 3) The traditional tapered and squared off tips that most dress belts have, instead of some of the weird circular or non-tapering, straight cutoff tips I’ve seen. These meet all of my requirements. The belts use a thick enough backing to feel durable, they’re actually a little difficult to attach to the newer style ratcheting buckles that have 5 teeth - they’re thick enough that the teeth are harder to punch through than lower quality, thinner belts - which feels more secure after they’re attached. They have the traditional tapering tip, and the ratcheting strip is of the newer, shorter generation - this one starting at 2.57”. The shorter start of the ratcheting strip from the tip is important for the practical adjustability for anyone using these when tucking in their shirts - since you don’t want more than 6” going past the keeper of the buckle (the limit before it starts looking sloppy), having the start of the inside ratcheting strip shorter means at the first ratchet (loosest) setting, there is 2.5” going past the keeper, so you can go up to 3.5” tighter and still be within that 6” limit. Compare that to some of the lower quality, older generation ratcheting belts that start their strip at 4.43”, which translates to 4.55” extending past the keeper at the loosest setting. On those belts, the practical adjustability is less than 1.5” tighter. This is why if you’re going to be using these belts when tucking in your shirt, the total length of the ratcheting strip matters a lot less than how quickly the strip starts from the tip of the belt. If you’re not tucking in your shirt, then the length past the keeper doesn’t matter, and you also wouldn’t care about what the belt looks like since nobody would see it. Texture on both of these is very smooth, which is what I wanted. Regarding the color of the “dark brown” - I would describe it as more of a brown with a slight reddish tint. While it’s not oxblood by any means, it’s slightly redder than other brown belts I have from other brands. A few comparison pics included. All in all, I’m happy with the purchase and I’ve become a fan of the brand. Every item so far has been consistently high quality and met expectations.

This belt is super nice. Way better than expected. I have a lot of ratchet belt buckles (iykyk) and the belts were starting to crack so was looking for replacements and found this one to try. It's real leather and not a vinyl coated thin leather strip either. This leather is thick and is lightly tanned on the inside giving it a natural look that I really like. The outside looks very nice also of course. It's a hair lighter color than I expected from the pics on Amazon so FYI but just get it and try it. I'm sure that you'll like it.

I have used several types of belts but this one is the best I've ever used I give it a five because it does what it's supposed to do and it's very cost efficient good quality lasts a while when you're belt needs tightening you can tighten it by shortening the size but it is absolutely great I love the belt also it is easy to release it when you need to remove it

I have this same belt with one of my other buckles. It replaced another belt, that was not this new one, that wore out and cracked along the outside.

Looks like better quality than the original. When I trimmed it, I didn't see cardboard or other fillers. Time will tell.

This is a perfect replacement for a too small belt and it fits my existing buckle.

I had an existing ratchet buckle and had cut the length down over the years, which now I need to be longer. Kept the buckle and ordered the belt part to replace and I noticed when I received it that the width of the new belt is a little wide and barely fits into the buckle. I do still use it but its a challenge getting the belt to pull through. I may have to look into ordering a new buckle that fits this belt better.

Good

Shorter than expected but should be ok.

facilitaron todo para perforar y cortar. todo está indicado al revés del cinturón. Tiene una zona plástica en donde por lógica, es más fácil perforar para hacer los orificios de tu cinturón. yo usé como plantilla otro que tenía.

Corresponde con la descripcion

Strap appears to be durable and of good quality. Due to ratchet function can be cut to desired length
