Great For Travel
I bought this belt for air travel, as the plastic buckle will not set off the metal detectors. I have owned it for over a year and I wear this belt a lot, it is light, comfortable and it works great. This belt is also good for water sports or at the beach because it does not absorb water and it dries quickly. The Bison Ellipse belt is not very stylish, but the price is right and it gets the job done.

Perfect Belt
I bought this belt nearly 4 years ago. I've worn it every single day since then and it still looks and performs like it's brand new.
It has withstood travel, 7 day work weeks, swimming, and my two year old daughter. The buckle never slips. The color doesn't fade. The end doesn't fray.
I don't imagine I'll ever need to buy another belt. When the zombie appocalypse comes, make sure this belt is around your waist.

Light, Comfortable, Practical
I use this belt with all my nylon shorts and pants that do not have a built in adjustment system. It could not be a better product.
The belt itself is comfortable and lightweight. The friction system holds very well, and I don't find myself re-tightening it. The belt dries quickly.
Also is very convenient for travel. I have taken this through the airport many times and have never needed to take it off.

Solid belt
I wouldn't say this is the most stylish belt but I use it for hiking/climbing trips so I don't really care about a snazzy belt. Holds my pants up really well, like a belt should do. The buckle doesn't come loose, a problem I have had with other belts. The material is heavy duty and should last a long time, yet the belt is light and not cumbersome. Reasonable price for a belt made in USA.

Gr8 belt for outdoors
Awesome belt. Holds up well when being active. I have used this belt canoeing, rafting, and hiking. It never slips and is wide enough to feel comfortable on your waist all day long. It's also great for cruising through airport security because it has no metal parts. Can't beat the price with this great quality and durable belt.

Excellent Belt
This is an excellent lightweight flexible nylon belt. While it isn't heavy enough for carrying equipment (radio, pistol, etc.), it's comfortable (even under the hip belt of a backpack) and keeps your pants up. The buckle is designed so that it tightens easily and doesn't loosen while being worn. It's even made in the USA.

I love this belt!
I love this belt - it's just the right width, the buckle is plenty grippy, and it doesn't make a big bump when I wear a sweater over it. I I somehow lost mine and I'm lost without it. I'm buying another one right now so I don't have to go another day without it.

Holds up my pants
I bought this as lightweight belt that I wouldn't have to remove going thru airport metal detectors. It is a plastic buckle and does not slip. Great belt. Works fine with any outfit besides a bizniss suit. Gr8

Keeps my shorts up!
Bought this for hiking/backpacking. The belt that came with my shorts was cheap and kept loosening while hiking. This belt is durable and stays secured throughout the day.
