Groove LifeGroove Belt Ultra - Men's Stretch Nylon Belt with Magnetic Polymer Buckle, Lightweight, Machine Washable

This belt is easy to use, very comfy and has a tad bit of stretch. I do find it hard to make it longer/shorter, but once it is set up it does hold its place. I had to cut mine down when I lost a bit of weight and I used sharp scissors and a heat source to re-seal the ends and that worked perfectly.

The buckle and strap work together to make the belt easy to use and comfortable to wear. The buckle halves engage with hooks hidden on the inside. Tension on the belt keeps the hooks engaged. Magnets in the halves hold the pieces in hooked alignment in case tension is reduced. To release the belt, just pull the ends together slightly, overcoming the elastic/magnetic tension, and the halves separate easily. Literally, a snap!Adjusting the strap is simple, but might take a minute or two - after all, you have to get it to slip past a bar that's intended to KEEP it from slipping! For me it has been a set-and-forget thing. Haven't had to readjust. I made it so there's a tiny amount of stretch required to mate the buckle halves, leaving the majority of the stretch for movement compensation. Very comfortable and secure.I'll add that I'm impressed with the strength of the elastic used in the strap. It seems to be heavy-duty. So far, it is not taking on the typical "slouch" at the back from being pulled down by my rear belt loops.I credit the strap's stoutness and stretch for that. Too soon to speak to durability, but the belt is definitely light and comfy.100% recommend.

It's very sturdy and easy to puit on/take off. Has some stretch to it which is great, but not so much that it's not functional for what it needs to be (a belt)

I really like the belt. Bought it to wear away from work so waited until I could. First day I wore it for ten hours and initially took a little adjustment as all new belts do. After getting used to it, it’s pretty comfortable. Unfortunately one of the small hooks on the inside of the buckle broke off, but it still works. That’s why the four stars. If nothing would have happened it would’ve been five stars all the way. The small amount of stretch in the belt helps when bending over and isn’t as rigid as other belts. I’m debating on whether or not to buy another because of small piece that broke because it is pretty expensive for a belt when you can get one cheaper. I do like the magnetic buckle though.

I originally purchased a knockoff version of a Groove Life belt from a popular China based website. While that one worked similarly to this one, it only lasted a few months before I started having issues with the buckle detaching from the belt while wearing it. The cheap knockoff used a latch with "teeth" to attach part of the buckle to the belt, and those teeth started to bend at the tips, causing my issue. This belt is secured with what appears to be allen head screws, so it doesn't seem like I'll have that issue with this one. I went with the "ultra" version of the Groove belt because of the cheaper price compared to the standard version. Quality seems pretty good. The belt is fairly thin, but I don't foresee that being an issue. I don't wear any shirts tucked in, so looks don't really matter to me, but the belt does look very nice. I would say it's definitely worth the extra cost over the knockoffs because of the higher quality, and especially the 94 year warranty.

Great belt, easy to put on, doesn’t loosen easily, looks and wears great. Will buy more!

Took a chance last summer and bought this belt. I'm glad I did. The fit is fine, and far more adjustable than the traditional punched-hole belt. It shows no wear, the buckle is incredibly secure yet very easy to open and close. I gave two to family members and they're enjoying it as much as one can enjoy a belt, and a third family member requested one as a birthday gift. That is of four belts purchased, not a clunker in the bunch; everyone is happy. You could spend more on a traditional belt, but it will show wear in six months. You could buy a web belt (like my Navy utility uniform belt) with a friction buckle, but it won't clasp as securely as a Groove Life belt. Go ahead and take the chance!

I had been using a different brand of quick-attach/quick-release belt for many years. It was a great belt but one factor always disappointed me about it. It was too elastic-y and soft so anything with a holster attached to it would not leave the holster easily due to belt deformation under load. Most notably, if you are carrying concealed, it just wouldn't work.That's where these Groove Life belts come in perfectly handy. It may seem small, narrow, and thin but it maintains its shape and sturdiness under load. You just have to adjust the belt length to your waist and it's plug-and-play from there on out. The shorter "height" of the belt also allows it to fit a larger variety of tighter belt loops. Plus, this Ultra version is even lighter than their regular version, most notably on the buckle, while not compromising on strength at all. I'm looking forward to a long, groovy life with this belt!
