I like this belt a lot. I bought the juniper green one. I enjoy that it is low profile and simple. The one size feature is fine when you think that you can run down to your gear shop or hardware store and use their hot knife to cut it down a bit. My only wish it that it was load bearing. I have taken to using a tree sling from my slack line while I am at work (at the UWF climbing wall) because a quickly made loop of another piece of webbing and I have a quick harness. Not that big a deal I suppose since I have a closet full of them when I am at work. Over all though this is a neat belt that wont get in the way bike commuting to school or wearing a harness. | |

Great lightweight belt | |
| Rating: |  |
| I owned a Silverfoot belt for a few years that was built similar to this but I like this design better because it is less bulky, breathes reasonably well, and has no problem losing grip with the buckle - so no need to keep readjusting since it stays where you put it. Another advantage that this item has over similar products is its width - 3/4" and 1" are fairly standard, but this 1 1/4" really gives a lot of stability. | |

I use it more than I should | |
| Rating: | |
A great belt that I use way more than I really thought that I would. So much so that I have noticed some wear to the area where it normally gets tight. At this point I can either lose a few or resolve to buy a new one in 2 years or so. | |

Belting out thanks | |

| I won't get caught with my pants down wearing this belt, which is aesthetically attractive and ethically reassuring: I can trust Patagonia's manufacturing processes to be more environmentally sound than other companies', and none of our bovine compadres had to suffer just so I can keep my trousers around my waist. | |

A belt anyone would love. | |

| The Friction belt made by Patagonia is a great all around durable yet stylish belt. It is reversible so it's like getting two belts for the price of one. It is a great buy and I would recommend this belt to anyone. | |

Multifunctional belt | |
| Rating: | |
This is a multifunctional belt. I like it very much. So you can use in as regular belt to adjust your trousers and use it alternatively as toolholder. Mostly I carry a knife, first aid kit and other essentials on it. | |

Great looking, durable belt | |
| Rating: | |
| This belt has a metal closure, and the overall belt is made of very durable material. Plus 1% for the planet. You can't beat this belt. Well worth every penney. This was my first, but will not be my last. | |

A belt for any occasion | |
| Rating: | |
| The simple design of this belt allows it to match well with any sport short of travel pant. It comes in a large enough size that you would want to "hot knife" it to your appropriate size. | |

| I have some other belts by a major company, that is a another name for a buffalo, starting fray at the buckle after a short time. So far the Patagonia belts are holding up. Thanks. | |

Versatile athletic belt | |
| Rating: | |
| Does a good job of keeping your pants/shorts up while doing anything athletic. The adjustable strap holds firm and is infinitely resizable. It is reversible so you actually are getting two belts in one. | |

This belt is frictionless and useless. | |
| Rating: |  |
| This belt is all but wothless. It has insufficient friction to hold and becomes loose every few minutes. It requires constant adjusting back to where it started. Buy some other belt. | |

Hmmmm... | |

In terms of what you'd want in a belt for your hiking pants, this is exactly what you'd be looking for. Its simple, and synthetic which means if you sweat, it will dry quickly and won't stain your pants like leather. Unfortunately, when you're carrying a full pack, the polyester webbing can cause a lot of friction when pressure is applied by your pack's hipbelt; enough to cut the skin. I suggest you wear your pants lower than your hipbelt level to avoid this from happening, as it can be quite annoying and painful at times. | |

| Another small belt, very small buckle, plain style. Not what I was looking for. | |
