Arcade Belts Hardware Utility Belt

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.

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.

Some dress pant loops are too small for the buckle, however most work pants and jeans fit nicely. I own three colors now and expect they will last a very long time.

I like the belt. It’s great for travel because you don’t have to take it off to go through security. It’s a little big to go through belt loops. I also have to warn you if you are little overweight that the belt buckle will dig in to your stomach in an uncomfortable way when you’re sitting. This product could be improved if they made the buckle smaller so it would go through belt loops easier and so it didn’t poke you in the belly when you’re sitting.

Belt never folded over. Easy to adjust. Comfortable, did not dig into hips or belly area.

No more steel buckle pressed in my gut! This thing is comfy and keeps my draws up!

The material feels better than the standard arcade belt but it’s not as stretchy. The buckle is a little easier to clasp but it still gets caught on the belt loops which is annoying. It’s very low profile like all arcade belts but I can’t clip anything to it because it’s not sturdy at all. The standard length only goes to 40” and they recommended the long length for my 38” waist so the long is super long and I have to double it onto itself and it’s less clean looking than the standard. Also the retaining loop is just a piece of elastic that doesn’t stay put so the excess belt comes out of it all the time.

Absolutely love everything about this belt.
