SlideBelts Men's Ratchet Belt - Custom Fit

Comment

Now that I have worn this for awhile, I dont like it. The adjustable feature is great, but the belt material keeps stretching where it locks into the buckle, allowing it to come loose. It is simple enough to cut a little off to make it stay closed, but then stretches more. Only so much can be cut off before the belt is too short. I love the way Amazon asks how an infinitely adjustable belt fit. I cut it a bit large and might adjust a bit. Belt buckle itself seems well made, I purchased the "animal friendly" non leather to see how I liked the ratchet style buckle. So far so good, but then it has only been a week of use and the last belt I purchased took a month to fall apart. So I guess it is noteworthy to say my pants have not fallen down in the past week. Maybe after I have had time to truly use the belt and find that I like it, I will buy the solid leather belt. Edit added 25 July. Only problem I have found is that the buckle falls off the belt. If you drop your pants and the buckle hits the floor, the buckle comes off.

I hate to admit it, but Im fat. My belly hangs over my belt and Ive always hated wearing belts because the buckles always dig into my belly and cause discomfort. Thats my fault, for not taking care of myself the way I should; Im working on it, but it takes time. Anyway, I wouldnt even wear a belt, but Ive lost some weight and I have several pairs of pants that will fall down without a belt to hold them up. Consequently, I usually wear my belt buckle over to the side, to avoid the pain and discomfort as much as possible. This is the first belt Ive worn that actually doesnt dig into my belly and cause me undue pain. For that alone Id give it five stars, but its also a very neat belt. I like the appearance and I havent had any quality issues with the belt. Assembling the belt and buckle took only a few seconds. The leather seems to be decent quality, probably not the best Ive ever seen, but it doesnt seem cheap either. I really love the ratcheting feature of the SlideBelt. My previous belt had two holes and two "tongues" that had to be lined up to latch the belt; it was a pain in the backside to put on. This one just slides through the buckle and locks in place. Its very easy to let it out a notch or two at a time if you get it too tight or just want to loosen your belt after lunch. Ive only had the belt for about a month, but it has been one of the better items Ive ever purchased; so far, Im a fan.

This belt is fantastic, the material for the belt itself feels great and the buckle is quite sturdy. The design pattern I selected was the Black231 - it comes out and looks very similar to carbon fibers aesthetic design. The mechanism for the clasp underneath the belt is low profile and has a good amount of resistance, which is the mark that it will not come undone easily. It came out of the box perfectly sized for my 32" waist from the 28"-36" range with a decent amount of slack to reach the next pant loop. You can definitely use this for everyday wear and be comfortable. Probably my favorite belt to date.

Im not a guy who is very clothing conscious. Youll see me wearing black because it always matches rather than for the poor and the beaten down. Needing a new belt I looked for something that looked nice but not flashy. In retrospect, I should have ordered the Matte Black. My only problem was the cutting instructions. Whats my waist size? My Levis are 36 but I know theyre "vanity" sized. A measuring tape through my belt loops measures 44 so perhaps 46 is where to cut... I cut the Size to Fit 48" down 2" at a time to 40 and it fits great! Perhaps Im being overly literal but the cutting instructions on the web sent me measuring and counting unnecessarily. I like the ratchet mechanism. Its easy to adjust. Know that its very loud to tighten and if youre trying to get dressed without waking someone you need to tighten it gently. Oops.

This belt is AWESOME. I go through so many belts that loosen up or just dont adjust properly. This belt is easy to adjust right out of the box. I started trimming the belt larger than I needed until I got the perfect amount of belt overlap. The belt clicks to where I want it and stays there. Seriously I am so used to loose belts that I find myself backing this belt off a click or two because it stays so tight! My only complaint is the buckle already chipped and I wish the belt was wider. I will be buying more of these!!
