ArcadeBelts Hardware Utility Belt

Well made and comfortable. Would buy again. UPDATE: After a week or so, I’m experiencing an issue with the bottom 1/2 of the buckle coming partially disengaged. This may be due to my belly putting pressure on the buckle when seated or bending over. I’m around 20 lbs overweight.

It’s firm and stretchy. Great for clipping a knife onto. Great for airports and travel. Great for hiking and fishing and outdoors stuff. Very comfortable and adjustable. Stays put.I bought the extra long one when my waist was 44” and now I’m down to 38” so I’m buying the shorter ones in multiple colors. The first one hasn’t worn out after a year of constant use.The only con I can say is that it doesn’t look good enough to wear with slacks or nice jeans. It fits my everyday outdoorsman vibe but I can’t wear it on the rare occasion I need to dress up. Wearing a different kind of belt sucks now.. so I guess I’m kinda spoiled by this one.

I purchased the original arcade belt to hold a bear spray holster while hiking and am a huge fan.I'd typically use a stiff a heavy leather belt at work to hold a small tool pouch + drill, but the arcade belt is just infinitely more comfortable. I'm one of those guys who seem to always have to adjust their belt throughout the day, its annoying.I was highly skeptical of this belt but it's exceeded all expectations. It isn't nearly as stretchy as the original arcade, this is significantly tougher material. But it still provides that same arcade effect somehow. I set it once, it's comfortable, and I basically never have to mess with it again.Using it to hold my tool pouch + drill I so far have had no issue for the past 4 months. It doesn't sag, it doesn't feel like I'm damaging the belt. I still love it. Mind you, this isn't a tool belt. I wouldn't expect to hold a whole framers tool setup with it. But it can handle a good handful of tools no problem.Now, is it going to stand up to years of use like this? Idk, id be pretty surprised. I just assume anything elastic eventually has to wear out. But there's no sign of that yet, and arcade does say their belts are warranties for life!

Great belt, material, and color, but Arcade made a mistake deciding to have the excess length of belt on the outside instead of the inside. They state it is because the belt is designed to bear the weight of tools and may require adjustment depending on the load, so they made it on the outside so as to be easier to adjust. But in actual practice, this is only minimally true and the minor convenience is more than offset by the added clumsiness of feeding the belt through the loops and the deminished aesthetics. I easily remedied the problem: Cut off the tab end of the belt (female/receiver/buckle end) and remove the belt from the buckle then feed it back through the buckle up through the outside slot and back down through the inside slot. Trim and burn the cut end to prevent fraying. Now the excess is on the inside. If done properly, the burnt end looks the same as the other end cut by manufacturer - and it isn't visible any way because it is on the inside/underside. Problem fixed. Would have been 5 stars if I didn't have to fix it myself.

Love these belts. Have 2 currently, but will probably add more. Machine washer safe, so I just leave them in my work pants when doing laundry.

Nice utility belt with simple click buckle. Buckle is durable plastic/polymer with easy adjustment.

Got this about a year and a half ago. It has held up very well. Very durable and doesn’t set off the metal detectors in the airport nor at Universal Studios. Highly recommend.

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.
