Aero Mag

There's a few arguments that could be made for and against, but I just don't love the entire polyester/plastic gorpcore takeover, and this is. . . definitely that. It feels like it was made for $2 and then charged for $60. It's a plastic buckle with a magnet and then a stretchy polyester/nylon belt. It feels like a piece of a backpack from 1991 more than what this company markets itself as--a leader in hiking belts. And that's the vibe I get--this company spending more on marketing/ads/reviews than its product. One person's opinion.

Great belt, but size chart is misleading

My waist is 37"/38" which is supposed to fit within their standard length -- and it did fit comfortably; however, there's no extra tail length like you'd expect from a traditional style belt since this stretchy 'elastic' material shrinks when it's not under tension. In theory, I didn't initially expect that to be a problem. In practice, it was annoying because each time I unbuckled, there was always one end that had retracted and slipped out of my pants' front belt loops. Because it was then awkwardly dangling from the next closest belt loop (hip), it was really annoying to deal with every time I needed to use the restroom. That aside, the product has really great built quality in materials/hardware. The clasp is extremely low profile, stays securely clasped, easy to unclasp single-handedly, and the stretch material is soft and doesn't dig into my waistline. The reason for my review rating is because I think that the size chart is misleading regarding the max lengths for Standard length. If you're on the upper end of the recommended length or between sizes, I recommend ordering a size up.

If it’s just like the other belts that you make. I had a little bit of trouble, adjusting it because it holds tighter than the previous belts. I needed to make it a little bit longer.
