I got like nine of these on deck from various holister, Abercrombie, and Aeropostale cargos.

Yep, grip 6, you’ll never need anything else to keep your pants up. Worn mine almost everyday for the last like 5 years

I've been using an Arc Teryx Web belt daily for 5 years and it still looks new.

Ah the NATO pants strap. I prefer the newer style webbing belts you find in a lot of golf shops. They’re an upgrade to what is pictured.

Qnd all nine lasted a lifetime or seem like they might?
Parsival007 t1_j4yh91v wrote
Live a little brother. How do you really quantify a lifetime. Bought them in HS (2007). You tell me.

Two I own in this style also came "free" with the cargo shorts I bought years ago, lol.

What do you do when it gets bent from using it in the same spot?

I really like my Rigger style belts. Adjust like ant other web belt but quick release so you don't shitnin your pants.

Search smokejumper belt on eBay. A dude makes them with parachute buckles. Used mine almost every day for 12 years. Not Even close to giving up.

It doesn’t really matter to me. When you’re wearing it, you can’t tell
Junior_Ad2955 t1_j4zjuy9 wrote
Leather belts do the same though, so….

I like belts with a quick release myself
But lately I've been thinking of suspenders that won't make me look like a magician or a grandpa

I actually wanted something like this for summer, as I only wear BDU-style cargo shorts and they really don't need a big/heavy belt to hold them up. I ended up going with the actual belts that go with (American) football uniform pants.
They're dirt cheap and really nothing can go wrong with them. I would, however, recommend that if you need to trim it (most people will because they are pretty universal, so they come in like a 56" length), then have someone sew the end back to "factory-style" or it will fray.

Oh that's just a cargo strap for your pants. Yeah I can vibe with that.

Duluth trading has a great one with thick webbing and squared buckles. I've had it for three years and it still looks fully intact. And I'm a big dude who tend to kill full grain leather belts.

Man just go to a fabric store, buy some webbing (that's what the fabric is called), 2 D-rings (that's what the metal is called) and a needle and thread and you could make that for like $10. Hell I could whip that up in five minutes with my sewing machine.

I have 5 of them. You can be lucky or unlucky in how well the buckles grip. Apart from that, no complaint.
On balance I prefer the Arc'teryx Conveyor Belt (of which I have 3). If only the latter were available in a wider variety of colours.

I’m 8 years in on one of these, no signs of wear. Different buckle than your picture though
