First time using an elastic belt and I am sold! After riding for a couple hours I was always annoyed at my shorts getting "droopy". This belt does the trick without being at all restrictive. I think it might have been designed for men so it is a little snug to get through some of my pants loops but do able :)

I've worn this belt while cycling and daily wear. This is my first stretch belt and I am surprised at how well it works and the comfort. I usually wear a leather belt that does not stretch and apparently had gotten used to how it restricted my movements. This belt keeps my pants/shorts up while active and in the office. It also does not restrict my movement. One downside is that I sometimes have trouble buckling it because it has to be lined up just right to click. Probably just take some getting used to. The other issue is that the buckle is a little wider than my usual belt and I have a hard time getting it through some of my pants/shorts belt loops. I've seen another review about the split design being hard to get through loops. I had this same issue the first couple of times I used the belt, then I realized I was routing the wrong end through the belt loops. Use the "un-forked" side and it routes pretty easily, as long as the belt loops are wide enough.

So, I'm not a belt kinda guy, especially with shorts. Well, this "belt" is perfect. Lightweight, adjustable & well, is it a belt or is it?

This is my second Arcade belt, the first is 4ish years old and still going strong but just looking for some more colors. Simple, light, but functional it's great for biking and as an everyday belt. Only limit I've found for it is heavy backpack waist belts. On a 10 day backpack this summer my 45lb pack hip belt pushed the belt down. I ended up pulling my pants up above the waist strap to compensate. Not sure if there is really a solution out there as a heavier belt would dig into your hip bones under a heavy pack hip belt.

Sorry I can't leave the same rave review as I just did for the Gunslinger Chamois. This belt has a decent amount of stretch and support. However, the buckle is poorly made and I feel it will eventually break. The buckle gets caught up on belt loops due to the split design and when you do get it fully "routed", the two halves of the buckle don't easily align to clip together. Also, I'm finding that this belt is too wide to wear with the Mattock shorts...it's not even close.
