ArcadeBelts Hardware Utility Belt

It’s firm and stretchy. Great for clipping a knife onto. Great for airports and travel. Great for hiking and fishing and outdoors stuff. Very comfortable and adjustable. Stays put.I bought the extra long one when my waist was 44” and now I’m down to 38” so I’m buying the shorter ones in multiple colors. The first one hasn’t worn out after a year of constant use.The only con I can say is that it doesn’t look good enough to wear with slacks or nice jeans. It fits my everyday outdoorsman vibe but I can’t wear it on the rare occasion I need to dress up. Wearing a different kind of belt sucks now.. so I guess I’m kinda spoiled by this one.

This is my third belt with a similar style latch and even though others are better in some ways, this one is the winner all-around for me.Comparing this belt to others with similar style latches:Pros -- First, the huge one: No metal. If you go through security lines at the airport, theme parks, or work often enough this belt is a game changer. Being able to keep it on even through the most sensitive detectors is super convenient.- Slim profile that doesn't dig in when bending over or create an awkward bulge.Cons -- The latching doesn't make nearly as satisfying of a sound/feel as the metal alternatives.-Not quite as easy to latch since there's an overhang of sorts that obstructs the buckle.-No way to route the extra length through the buckle to have it under the rest of the belt instead of over. You'll always have the visible extra length. It has a sliding loop to keep the end from flapping around but I'd prefer to run it under so it's totally secure.-A little wide of a buckle for some belt loops. It's a slightly awkward middle ground between the belts with bigger metal buckles that you have to remove but can then get the belt through super easy and being small enough where that's not needed at all. You'll be fiddling with this one in some pants to get it through and the tendency of the buckle to grab a loop doesn't help.It's great quality but for the price premium over alternatives it had better be.

Really nice belt. I have both the regular and this heavy duty version. I love the way they give a little when bending and easily adjustable. This one has less stretch than the regular but still very comfortable. The material is stiff in a good way and will not deform at belt loops. Love these belts. Need this on grey please.

Great belt, material, and color, but Arcade made a mistake deciding to have the excess length of belt on the outside instead of the inside. They state it is because the belt is designed to bear the weight of tools and may require adjustment depending on the load, so they made it on the outside so as to be easier to adjust. But in actual practice, this is only minimally true and the minor convenience is more than offset by the added clumsiness of feeding the belt through the loops and the deminished aesthetics. I easily remedied the problem: Cut off the tab end of the belt (female/receiver/buckle end) and remove the belt from the buckle then feed it back through the buckle up through the outside slot and back down through the inside slot. Trim and burn the cut end to prevent fraying. Now the excess is on the inside. If done properly, the burnt end looks the same as the other end cut by manufacturer - and it isn't visible any way because it is on the inside/underside. Problem fixed. Would have been 5 stars if I didn't have to fix it myself.

I wear size 36-38 waist pants. I ordered the regular length belt. I should have ordered the longer size, but this one works fine. I don't have any room for growth. Seems to be good quality. The width is just a little tight in belt loops. Would be perfect if it was 1/4 inch more narrow.

Love this belt! It looks good, is comfortable and stretches with your body movements. The plastic buckles are well built and easy to close or open. Outstanding belt for the money!

No flex at all. Sitting down causes your pants to fold and bend because this belt does not. Quality belt and works as expected. Just not comfortable for sitting.

This belt is a great choice for those with a larger waistline. Very comfortable belt and can pass through a metal detector.
