Updates: Ive owned all three of the belts for about two years now. All of them are still working fine with reasonable wear. I saw people having issues with all three manufactures. But mine are still working great. I noticed some new great new top grade leather belts from Mooniva and jumped on the deal and got the following belt. Wow, unbelievable belt! Mooniva Mens Leather Ratchet Belt Luxury Collection Small (20" - 32") Brown Im a huge fan of ratchet belts after I bought my first one from Mission belt website. Really love the adjustable ratchet buckle. I now owned this kind of belts from Mission, SlideBelt and a few from Mooniva. Here is my 2 cents comparing belts from these three vendors: Commonalities: - Very Similar ratchet mechanism, which is the main reason I liked ratchet belts. So easy, so flexible! - Great quality leather for a reasonable price Here is the rough comparison of belts from the three brands: Mission Belt (the earliest vendor selling ratchet belt): - Its buckles are rather simple and plain. Not many other textures and designs. I liked its black on black basic version. - Leather quality appears to be great. My first ratchet belt was a Mission bought from its website. Its still working fine. - Mission offers different belt colors, but its leather texture is rather plain and traditional. Not much of choice even with the newer edition I purchased - Width of the buckle and belts are slightly smaller. Most traditional mens buckles and belts are of same width as SlideBelt/Mooniva. I need a slimmer one for a few pants that I own. For others, I use SlideBelt/Mooniva. Mooniva Belt: - Mooniva is one of the best vendors that I bought from in terms of buckles. Its website also sells separate buckles that you can hookup with the belts you bought. Their choices of buckles are really amazing. - Leather quality appears to be great. It also have premium leather option, which will cost more. So far, my Mooniva belts still look great. - Different Mooniva belts has different leather texture. I picked the traditional ones. It has many other options. - Moonivas belt and buckles appears to be the same width as SlideBelt, but slightly wider than Mission. SlideBelt: - SlideBelt buckles are a little bit different from Mission and Mooniva. The switch is not using the small tab, but an flipper. - Leather quality appears to be ok. Surface texture is a bit rough. Just bought it not long ago. Will see how long it will last. - SlideBelt offers not only different belt colors, but it also has some texture variations that you can pick. - Belt and buckle width is about the same as Mooniva, but slightly larger than Mission. Ive uploaded a picture showing the ones that I own, one from each vendor. The one on the top is Mooniva, middle belt is Mission, bottom one is SlideBelt.
