Yep, grip 6, you’ll never need anything else to keep your pants up. Worn mine almost everyday for the last like 5 years

What do you do when it gets bent from using it in the same spot?

It doesn’t really matter to me. When you’re wearing it, you can’t tell

I have 5 of them. You can be lucky or unlucky in how well the buckles grip. Apart from that, no complaint.

On balance I prefer the Arc'teryx Conveyor Belt (of which I have 3). If only the latter were available in a wider variety of colours.

Oh that's just a cargo strap for your pants. Yeah I can vibe with that.

Search smokejumper belt on eBay. A dude makes them with parachute buckles. Used mine almost every day for 12 years. Not Even close to giving up.

Two I own in this style also came "free" with the cargo shorts I bought years ago, lol.

Live a little brother. How do you really quantify a lifetime. Bought them in HS (2007). You tell me.

I like belts with a quick release myself

But lately I've been thinking of suspenders that won't make me look like a magician or a grandpa

I've been using an Arc Teryx Web belt daily for 5 years and it still looks new.

Ah the NATO pants strap. I prefer the newer style webbing belts you find in a lot of golf shops. They’re an upgrade to what is pictured.

I really like my Rigger style belts. Adjust like ant other web belt but quick release so you don't shitnin your pants.

I actually wanted something like this for summer, as I only wear BDU-style cargo shorts and they really don't need a big/heavy belt to hold them up. I ended up going with the actual belts that go with (American) football uniform pants.

They're dirt cheap and really nothing can go wrong with them. I would, however, recommend that if you need to trim it (most people will because they are pretty universal, so they come in like a 56" length), then have someone sew the end back to "factory-style" or it will fray.

Duluth trading has a great one with thick webbing and squared buckles. I've had it for three years and it still looks fully intact. And I'm a big dude who tend to kill full grain leather belts.

Man just go to a fabric store, buy some webbing (that's what the fabric is called), 2 D-rings (that's what the metal is called) and a needle and thread and you could make that for like $10. Hell I could whip that up in five minutes with my sewing machine.
