Very nice belt system, recommend trying
This is the first ratchet belt I've tried, but I really like it. It was very easy to put together, take apart and adjust the length. I started by cutting a couple of inches off, but wasn't happy with the length, so I simply took another inch off until it was just what I wanted. I really love the bucket, it's fairly traditional looking, but unlike some other models I looked at does not have an extra release button sticking out. It's very sleek and works wonderfully. I also like that it's fairly traditional looking. With my old belt, I was constantly adjusting it, so I would have it more loose around the house, but if I needed to carry my wallet, phone, keys, etc, then I'd have to tighten it a notch -- a full inch. This belt is SO EASY to adjust. And much more accurate, I think each click is 1/4th of an inch. I don't have to just accept the next setting -- I can make it just right. So, why not 5 stars? there are a couple of things I'm less thrilled with. First, and totally my fault, I didn't verify the width of the leather. This belt is 1.25" and I would have preferred something wider. I've noticed the weight of the buckle and the size of belt loop has allowed that one end to twist easily when not fastened so that it's essentially inside-out. My wife has also commented that she can tell when I'm about to leave the bathroom because of the clicking of the ratchet system. I don't find it super loud, but it is a noticeable difference. Maybe like going from button fly jeans to something with a zipper. Overall, the benefits definitely win. I'm already thinking I should get a black version in a wider width now that I've tried this one. For the increased comfort of being easily adjustable in my setting, the price is very reasonable. I recommend getting one to try if you've never had a ratchet belt previously.
