Review on πŸ’Ό Damen Hastings: High-Quality Nylon Military-Style Men's Belts and Accessories by Bryan White

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Difficult to set up. Although very beautiful.

This is an awesome looking belt. The nylon webbing is silkier and more refined than most tactical belts, and the buckle is a brilliant work of art. However, it's hard to get used to, and eating a large meal doesn't give you free play. By that I mean that once it's set, it's not easy to loosen. This belt's adjustment mechanism is similar to an airplane, only worse. The nylon webbing goes through the buckle and is held fairly taut by this mechanism. The free end then returns to a second small buckle that slips over the back of the belt to take up the slack. This mechanism must be moved firstly to allow play or secondly to compensate for play. Since this mechanism is located somewhere between the loops of your trousers, you cannot adjust it while wearing a belt. You have to adjust this belt with it in the free gap to your waist and then thread it through the belt loops of your pants. If you find it too tight or too loose, you'll have to take it off almost completely to expose the strap for adjustment. I have a 34 inch waist and there is about a foot between the main buckle and the buckle on the buckle. I love the soft mesh and the shiny buckle, but I can't stand the adjustment mechanism. I've found that I might need to tighten my strap a click or loosen a click during the day. Ratchet straps are great for this flexibility, but most tactical ones aren't. to be a tactical belt of any strength. The buckle clicks like a seat belt, but releases when the shiny rectangle is squeezed. I keep forgetting this and trying to pry open or find the button. This is a plain belt and there are no latches, buttons or places to pry open.
