I have always been looking for a belt that doesn't "dig-in" when not-tucking the shirt. Finally found it!

I have a 35 inch waist and it fits great. While fishing and doing outdoor activities it stretches enough to keep my pants up and stay comfortable.

I was using a canteen belt, cloth belt with metal buckle. Worked great for years but the metal buckle did like to poke ya in the belly sometimes, when sitting or crouched. This belt has none of that. Make it whatever tension you want and still has some give when needed. Longevity to be determined. Had it for a few weeks now and ordered another so I can keep one in my Firehose Flex pants and one in my, I'll just say dirtier, work Firehose pants. See no reason they shouldn't hold up good for a long time. Love the slim buckle design.

This is a nice belt for hiking and any situation where you are bending, twisting, and turning your body. It is flexible and does not slip loose like other elastic belts.

I was resistant to investing real $$ in a belt for so long, but this was so worth it. I hate stiff belts that dig into my midsection every time I crouch or bend down at work. This is seriously a game changer for daily comfort.
