Thomas Bates Southwestern Patterns Hiker Belt Nylon

Love the belt. It is perfect for what I need and it looks stylish. Another reviewer mentioned that the belt was not thick enough for a male belt but I actually find it perfect and I was actually seeking a belt that was not as thick (no offense to the other reviewer - we each have our own styles and preferences).

No need to overthink this; this belt looks nice and is soft/flexible. I was worried the plastic buckle would be cheap, but it's held up well over time.

I’ve been using this model belt with the plastic buckle for 30 years or so. I have 6 of them and they are my daily, go-to belt. Never had a buckle break & a couple of them I've had for at least 20 years. Because they are 100% plastic I’ve at times not been required to remove the belt going through airport security. So why only 4 stars? I have occasionally had the buckles pinch my finger when snapping them closed. Secondly the nylon webbing seems thinner on this newest one than on my other belts. I prefer the slightly thicker older belts. But even being thinner I expect they’ll serve me as well as the earlier ones.

I like this belt very much. The colors are great and the belt is strong. At first I was concerned about the plastic buckle but so far it is working great. I like that I am not stuck with belt holes but have ability to adjust the length to whatever feels comfortable. The price seems very good for what you get.

This belt is just fine- looks great and I'm sure the nylon will hold up. Knocking off two points due to the thinness of the belt \and the plastic buckle that I don't believe will stand up over time. Thicken it up a bit and add a metal buckle and you've got a winner.

After trying out one of these Thomas Bates hiker belts I recently bought a second. I've owned several nylon hiker belts over the years and these are my new favorites. The belt design choices are interesting, but it's the buckle that sets them apart from others I own. They cinch up easily and stay tight. And, bonus, they go through the TSA airport scanners.

Great for whenever you need a light and functional belt with a bit of flair.The buckle could be a little less plastic-y.

Bought twice, both broke. The tiny plastic nibs on the buckle closer broke after about 6 month's use. As far as can tell there is no way to replace this part or the entire buckle. The buckle is sewn. One star because it looked nice before it broke
