Review on πŸ”— BETTA Elastic Stretch High Strength Adjustable by Sean Liu

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Really great elastic waistband!

I have ordered many different belts with plastic buckles and this one (along with the Thomas Bates Bulldog belt) is the best...almost perfect! If you want to stretch choose this one, if not choose Bulldog. The material of the belt is a comfortable, very soft webbing with an ideal degree of stretch. If you want soft comfort, this is perfect. Also, the ideal width is 1 and 1/2 inches. In terms of length, I have a waist size 30 and the small size I ordered was perfect, but I don't want it to be an inch shorter, so be careful not to order too small. You can always cut it open and burn the end with a flame. The buckle is great and really is an improved (and wider) version of the standard tourist belt flip-tab buckle. Although both clamp absolutely securely, this one is significantly less prone to breakage. A very clever, subtle design change that can completely tell a good buckle from a broken one. [Another option for an elastic belt is the Men's Elastic Belt from Strait City Trading Co. Although there are significant differences. First, the material of the Strait City belt is MUCH stiffer from edge to edge and less elastic than the Betta belt. It feels completely different not only in the hand but also on the waist; closer to a medium-hard leather belt with a hint of stretch. It would be much better to carry multiple tools with you due to its rigidity. Second, the Straight City's buckle and end tab are metal, not plastic like I thought. However, the buckle can be easily removed and replaced. (If you want to replace it with a betta buckle you will need to cut and re-sew as the betta is permanently sewn to the belt.) The bulldog belt buckle, also great and the same width, is easily removed without cutting/sewing and replace.] In summary, the Betta is just a great belt if you want a comfortable elastic belt with a plastic buckle. Worth the higher price if that's what you're looking for!
