Thomas Bates Nylon Outdoor Hiker Belt Easy Trim Webbing for Perfect Fit Up to Size 42in Heavy Duty Plastic Adjustable Buckle

Favorite belt. It’s rugged, comfortable, is good looking, has infinite adjustment, will fit any size waist no problem. And it’s easy to use. I need a belt that doesn’t stretch since all my pants are made with stretch material. It’s why a no stretch belt is needed. Stretch pants are easy to put on but they tend to fall when you’re walking. Great product!

Looks good , works well , and it was easy to cut to the length I wanted .

I like these belts. They stay closed and hold well. This one lasted 2 years 8 months with regular use. The front of the plastic buckle pops off occasionally and it's easy to put it back on. But recently it started falling off a lot and won't stay on anymore. So if you feel that this is a fair price to pay for having it last that long, you'll like it.

Good product- made in the USA, and good company. I had to cut a few inches off and heat the edge near a candle flame, as per the directions, in order to fit the belt just right. Now the belt is a couple inches past the belt loop when fastened on my waist- regulation fit. It is very light weight and comfortable, and thin enough to be comfortable. The buckle is a bit different than I am used to. It doesn’t ratchet to adjust like metal ones, but has a slot you feed the belt into and then snap down the face plate. The plastic buckle makes security check points a breeze, and the buckle does not cut into your belly when bending over because it is a friendly plastic material.The color is much lighter than I had expected. It is called “graphite” and I was hoping it would be a more charcoal grey graphite like actual pencil lead. The belt is for a pair of charcoal cargo BDU shorts. I guess the contrast looks nice, though. I would not recommend this to be worn as a duty belt- it is much too light. For duty belt use, I would recommend a gun belt. This is actually advertised as a hiker belt, thus the light, minimalist design.

I have this belt in four different colors and initially bought one so I would not need to take it off going through TSA at the airport. I liked the belt so much that I bought three more and now use them exclusively. The material is very durable and the plastic buckle is very sturdy. The belt looks good, not dressy but great for anything other than "dress-up" occasions. I did have one buckle fail after about three years but that was due to me getting it caught in a closet door....my fault, not the belt's! I'll keep buying these in the future if and when my existing belts wear out!

I bought this belt back in 2020. It quickly became my favorite. The buckle finale broke when I snagged it. So it was a quick decision to buy it again. However, this belt is flimsy in comparison. Maybe I got a bad one, but it is so floppy it's hard to thread through the pant loops. I am disappointed and can no longer recommend it.

I have used the Bates Belts Hiker for years, and there's no other belt with which I feel comfortable any more. The ultimate in adjustability and ease to tighten. Plus many colors to choose from, so there's always one best suited to my ensemble.

Ordered simple black belt. Webbing is slightly thinner than previously purchased multicolor version. Absolutely love the previous belt. This one feels more like the free ones that sometimes comes with a pair of hiking pants. That would be ok but it doesn’t hold has well as multicolored ones and has to be recinched periodically. Don’t know if the colored ones just naturally have more threads which makes them thicker or the brand is going shrinkflation. But I can no longer recommend this belt. Colored one 5 stars. Single color black 2.
