Groove LifeGroove Belt Ultra - Men's Stretch Nylon Belt with Magnetic Polymer Buckle, Lightweight, Machine Washable

This belt is easy to use, very comfy and has a tad bit of stretch. I do find it hard to make it longer/shorter, but once it is set up it does hold its place. I had to cut mine down when I lost a bit of weight and I used sharp scissors and a heat source to re-seal the ends and that worked perfectly.

The buckle and strap work together to make the belt easy to use and comfortable to wear. The buckle halves engage with hooks hidden on the inside. Tension on the belt keeps the hooks engaged. Magnets in the halves hold the pieces in hooked alignment in case tension is reduced. To release the belt, just pull the ends together slightly, overcoming the elastic/magnetic tension, and the halves separate easily. Literally, a snap!Adjusting the strap is simple, but might take a minute or two - after all, you have to get it to slip past a bar that's intended to KEEP it from slipping! For me it has been a set-and-forget thing. Haven't had to readjust. I made it so there's a tiny amount of stretch required to mate the buckle halves, leaving the majority of the stretch for movement compensation. Very comfortable and secure.I'll add that I'm impressed with the strength of the elastic used in the strap. It seems to be heavy-duty. So far, it is not taking on the typical "slouch" at the back from being pulled down by my rear belt loops.I credit the strap's stoutness and stretch for that. Too soon to speak to durability, but the belt is definitely light and comfy.100% recommend.

It's very sturdy and easy to puit on/take off. Has some stretch to it which is great, but not so much that it's not functional for what it needs to be (a belt)

I really like the belt. Bought it to wear away from work so waited until I could. First day I wore it for ten hours and initially took a little adjustment as all new belts do. After getting used to it, it’s pretty comfortable. Unfortunately one of the small hooks on the inside of the buckle broke off, but it still works. That’s why the four stars. If nothing would have happened it would’ve been five stars all the way. The small amount of stretch in the belt helps when bending over and isn’t as rigid as other belts. I’m debating on whether or not to buy another because of small piece that broke because it is pretty expensive for a belt when you can get one cheaper. I do like the magnetic buckle though.

Took a chance last summer and bought this belt. I'm glad I did. The fit is fine, and far more adjustable than the traditional punched-hole belt. It shows no wear, the buckle is incredibly secure yet very easy to open and close. I gave two to family members and they're enjoying it as much as one can enjoy a belt, and a third family member requested one as a birthday gift. That is of four belts purchased, not a clunker in the bunch; everyone is happy. You could spend more on a traditional belt, but it will show wear in six months. You could buy a web belt (like my Navy utility uniform belt) with a friction buckle, but it won't clasp as securely as a Groove Life belt. Go ahead and take the chance!

The only thing that I had trouble with was adjusting it to fit my waist, and that was only because it was brand new and hasn't had time to break in. I am completely satisfied with the belt and the magnetic connection device. Where has it been all my life!!!!!!!!!!

I originally purchased a knockoff version of a Groove Life belt from a popular China based website. While that one worked similarly to this one, it only lasted a few months before I started having issues with the buckle detaching from the belt while wearing it. The cheap knockoff used a latch with "teeth" to attach part of the buckle to the belt, and those teeth started to bend at the tips, causing my issue. This belt is secured with what appears to be allen head screws, so it doesn't seem like I'll have that issue with this one. I went with the "ultra" version of the Groove belt because of the cheaper price compared to the standard version. Quality seems pretty good. The belt is fairly thin, but I don't foresee that being an issue. I don't wear any shirts tucked in, so looks don't really matter to me, but the belt does look very nice. I would say it's definitely worth the extra cost over the knockoffs because of the higher quality, and especially the 94 year warranty.

I've only worn it for two days now, but if it lasts more than a year, I'm going to call this the best belt I've ever owned. I've tried leather belts that crack after a few months because you're always folding them at the same place. I've tried those cheap D-ring belts that come with some brands of shorts, but they never stay fastened well. I've tried "tactical" belts hoping for something better but ran into another list of issues: don't fit through normal belt loops, weird adjustment mechanisms, strange fastening systems, too heavy, etc. This Groove Life belt solves all those problems.The buckle is slim enough that it easily slides through common belt loops. The magnet + hook buckling mechanism is genius and so simple that I can't believe it took this long for someone to make a belt this way. The length adjustment part was a bit difficult, but I only have to do it once.
