Exactly what I expected of a friction belt. Neat design of turtles that turned out even cooler in real life than it appeared in the picture: it's a turtle inside a turtle design. The belt was a little too long for me so I cut it and burned the new edge and now it's just right.

Gift for my Girlfriend
This belt is pretty tough and tough to beat. The buckle and webbing are both great. We climb and ride motorcycles. This has been the perfect belt for out outdoor adventures and is great with her motorcycle pants.

This is the best belt I have ever owned...light weighted, sturdy, never gone loose! Also it feels good to wear a belt like this other than those leather ones, only for the thought of animals' welfare....thumb up!

Great Belt
I bought one in 1993. I wear it probably 8 out of 10 days - year round. I'm wearing it now!!
Since purchasing this belt, my weight has fluctuated anywhere from 190 to 225 lbs and it always fits perfectly.
Extremely durable and easily adjusted.

Nice belt
I was looking for a belt that was not too wide or thick, a belt that would lie flat against my waist and a buckle that did stick out and get caught on things. This belt definitely fits the bill. I wear it all the time. I have a 34" waist and it fits really well with not much excess belt material to get in the way. Great belt for all activities. I even wear it when I do yoga.

It just works...
I received the belt today and it is slim, light, and stays in place as it should. I would not recommend this for anything other than casual wear or out in the woods. It is definitely two thin for anything larger than a phone/multi-tool/knife.

Great and slim!
I bought this belt because my thicker Patagonia Tech Web belt (although I love it) has a huge buckle which protrudes out and makes me look awkward.
This belt is light, thin, durable, and does not slip! What more can you ask for? You can cut the end and seal it with some heat if you want it shorter.
I now own three of them in various colors. I might buy more!

Nice Belt
This belt is just what I was looking for. It is lightweight, durable, and easy to adjust. The length is a little long for me, but since the material is so lightweight it doesn't hang down below my shirt. Overall, a very nice, simple belt.

Does it's job
Nice quality product (typical Patagonia). Good looking. I got the blue one, and it goes great with pretty much any color pants/shorts. Looks to be good for up to and including a 38 inch waist (which is my size). Maybe a 40, but it'd be close. I like it.
February 13, 2011
Very nice!
Very good looking, and well made. I wish that it was a little wider, but fits casual pants well. Wouldn't be good for hanging things from; too thin. But for holding up pants securely, can't be beat. Haven't had it long, the 5 rating on durability is based on quality and my expectations.

No slip...love it
Many cool colors and prints. The one I bought is red and rust colored with cicle and semi circle design. I owned many belts of this type of design and they all slip and loosen so I'm always re-tightening my belt. Not the Patagonia Friction Belt!
January 21, 2011
My favorite belt
I have never owned a belt like this. It appears to be made of the same strong materials (buckle and webbing) as a climbing harness, and it has a classy appearance. I am very happy with this belt! It is infinitely adjustable up to the limit of its length, which suits me well. Some days I am fatter than others, and I need a little leeway. :^) Seriously, it is a great belt that I'll use for years.

Patagonia Friction Belt
I just received this belt from Altrec and could not be happier with the purchase. The belt is not bulky but is very sturdily made (like all Patagonia products I have had over the years). It holds tight with no slippage at all, and is a nice length-no excess to cut off. It was delivered QUICK by FedEx Ground, even with the holidays! I'll be back for more Altrec purchases soon. Thanks!

Nice belt for active wear
I work with children and am very active each day. I needed something to wear in class that is comfortable and professional looking and also not too heavy or bulky. This belt is perfect. It stays tight and can be sinched up if you want your pants held in place. I have worn it with jeans too but it does look a little casual compared to leather. I have two, the brown and the black with the patterns and they have much more style that a plain web belt. There is a pattern on the back that you can switch to for variety.

Belt
Awesome belt. Simple/quality construction. Very slim and functional...does not add a lot of bulk under clothes.
December 22, 2010
Great belt
I needed a belt for some hiking pants that have a big waist, and this belt works perfectly. It doesn't interfere with my pack and doesn't loosen up. Great belt!
December 9, 2010
simple design, solid construction = Reliable
Great belts. This is my 2nd. I only bought another for the variety of color. My first has been used daily for almost 5 years! Great product that will last for years. Enjoy!
November 17, 2010
Perfect!
It's simple but solid. This is the one what I looking for. Look so cool!
Don't wait, just get it!!!

great belt
just as stated in add, great choices and great fit, it is easy to wear and has a great selection
October 17, 2010
I wear it all the time
I bought the belt to use while hiking and backpacing, but actually wear it all the time. It's infinitly adjustable and will last forever.
October 13, 2010
This is a great item at a good value. I've already worn the belt a dozen times!
October 4, 2010
Just a perfect belt
Small minimal buckle with little bulge, sufficient width. I paid full price and it was still worth every penny!
September 17, 2010
QUALITY, FUNCTION, STYLE, COMFORT - the belt has it all
QUALITY, FUNCTION, STYLE and COMFORT - the Patagonia friction belt has it all. I love how it lays flat and doesn't add an ugly bulge. It does NOT slip and stays exactly where you want it without the traditional holes and spike of a normal belt buckle. Absolutely would recommend this belt.

Stiil the bast
Patagonia Friction Belt is still the best. I have never found another any better. Between my wife and me we own 5.
April 12, 2010
Perfect!
Love the classic Patagonia design and low profile (no buckle bulge beneath my shirt). Also, it's lightweight and easy to pack.
March 17, 2010
Excellent belt
This belt was exactly what I was looking for -- low profile and functional. No slipping whatsoever! Another high-quality Patagonia product.
February 25, 2010
Light but Doesnt Hold
Nice belt, very light and reversible with slightly different colors on each side. The buckle does not hold tight and the belt will slowly creep open if its tight.
November 22, 2009
Great lightweight belt
I owned a Silverfoot belt for a few years that was built similar to this but I like this design better because it is less bulky, breathes reasonably well, and has no problem losing grip with the buckle - so no need to keep readjusting since it stays where you put it. Another advantage that this item has over similar products is its width - 3/4" and 1" are fairly standard, but this 1 1/4" really gives a lot of stability.

Great Belt, just wish the size was a bit smaller
belt is probably suited for large waists so has to be cut for smaller waists. leaves a ragged edge that sometimes fray even after burning end to try and seal
July 28, 2009
Great Belt!
Good quality, holds well and durable. However, it is a bit long, given my 34 waist.
July 15, 2009
Small belt, very plain
Another small belt, very small buckle, plain style. Not what I was looking for.

Greatest Belt Ever
This belt is fantastic. It plays well on the trail and at the office (assuming your office is not Wall Street).
November 16, 2008
Love the belts. Smooth transaction. Would order again.
Fine product. I want more an expect to order them.
September 5, 2008
good belt for casual wear
this is a nice simple belt that is purely functional. No bells and whistles with this baby, just there to keep your pants up.
August 21, 2008
It looks good and keeps my pants up.
It looks good and keeps my pants up, what else is there to say about a belt.
October 16, 2007
typical Patagonia quality
A very nice basic piece that does its job well. Can't beat the price and the ironclad guuarantee.
October 17, 2006
Good basic belt
This makes for a good belt, not great, but above average. I liked it well enough to order the Tech Web Belt, which is a thicker, more robust version of this belt.
October 15, 2006
Sturdy and Functional
Well constructed. Belt stays in place under stressful motion. So lightweight you'll forget you're wearing it.

its perfect I like that quality and color

Great looking, durable belt
This belt has a metal closure, and the overall belt is made of very durable material. Plus 1% for the planet. You can't beat this belt. Well worth every penney. This was my first, but will not be my last.
January 24, 2006
Light & Secure
I have some other belts by a major company, that is a another name for a buffalo, starting fray at the buckle after a short time. So far the Patagonia belts are holding up. Thanks.
May 17, 2005
Belting out thanks
I won't get caught with my pants down wearing this belt, which is aesthetically attractive and ethically reassuring: I can trust Patagonia's manufacturing processes to be more environmentally sound than other companies', and none of our bovine compadres had to suffer just so I can keep my trousers around my waist.
April 22, 2005
Great Belt
Good looking go anywhere belt at a great Altrec price.
April 4, 2005
Cool looking! Easy adjustment.
Nice belt. Goes with any pair of shorts or pants.
April 2, 2005
High Quality
The built serves its purpose. It's high quality and fashionable. There's only so much a belt can do.
March 13, 2005
does it's job
this belt does what it's supposed to. looks great too.
March 7, 2005
A belt anyone would love.
The Friction belt made by Patagonia is a great all around durable yet stylish belt. It is reversible so it's like getting two belts for the price of one. It is a great buy and I would recommend this belt to anyone.
February 27, 2005
This belt is frictionless and useless.
This belt is all but wothless. It has insufficient friction to hold and becomes loose every few minutes. It requires constant adjusting back to where it started. Buy some other belt.
February 8, 2005
not a bad belt
basic climbing belt, as others have said very functional and should last awhile. not a bad price either, being Patagonia.
February 5, 2005
Ideal belt for purpose. Should last awhile
Ideal belt for its purpose. Should last awhile.
November 15, 2004
very functional and durable
A very good belt. I owned one during college and liked the fact that it did not fray. Goes great with jeans, chinos or cargo shorts.
October 15, 2004
Versatile athletic belt
Does a good job of keeping your pants/shorts up while doing anything athletic. The adjustable strap holds firm and is infinitely resizable. It is reversible so you actually are getting two belts in one.
October 10, 2004
my son loved it
quick service no shipping $--gotta love it love the "stories"
October 1, 2004
amazing
I've worn this belt almost every day since I got it a few years ago. I've even used it as a makeshift harness for prussiking up ropes on trees...
February 7, 2004
A belt for any occasion
The simple design of this belt allows it to match well with any sport short of travel pant. It comes in a large enough size that you would want to "hot knife" it to your appropriate size.
