Arcade Unisex Utility Belt Belt

I really like the arcade belt concept and this is the third belt I have bought from them. I have to admit if this HD type didn't live up to my expectations I would have went another way. I don't have much of a rear end to hold up a belt no matter what type I have tried. I'm pulling up my pants at some point but I don't have that problem with these as I as I read out before before I them on. I do find that when I first put these on after they have been loosened I do have to readjust them but the elastic on these is so much stronger than past models that this is my only belt I use on a day-to-day basis. That being said if I was hanging anything of weight off of them I would be a little bit weary. I would recommend this model of the arcade belt but would not recommend the "lower duty" models.

With the right pants, this is a good belt as it has some stretch capabilities to it.

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.

Love this belt. It is relatively light weight yet doesn't sacrifice in utility. It is perfectly suitable to mount accessories to, like holsters, pouches, hiking/backpacking gear, and various specialized gear like peak design capture clips for holding camera bodies and such while on the go. And even when not used as utility belt it's also great for everyday use with jeans, hiking pants, or even dress pants in a pinch. It's also slightly elastic to give you room to move and definitely contributes to not only the support a functional belt is expected to give but also to the ease of putting it on. The 3 loops are great for the flexibility of sizing up/down as needed without having to take off the belt.

Good belts but the buckle area gets a little finicky. Im big belly so the buckle digs in when I sit. The belt is well constructed.
