    Comments about Mountain Hardwear Alloy Nut Belt:

    I originally bought one three years ago and with a couple of moves I lost it. It is best used for travel and the outdoors. My favorite feature is the hooked attachment that easily slides out/in, making for a quick release of your pants. When you are carrying a 65L pack, have multiple layers of clothes, and have a boarding pass in hand, the last thing you want to do is put everything down to release your buckle. The only modification I would make is to see it be a little thicker. Don't get me wrong. The weight of it is super, but I would like something a little more rigid to make it easier when putting on.

      Comments about Mountain Hardwear Alloy Nut Belt:

      I was looking for a thin, simple belt to hold up my jeans while I climb. This belt does the trick perfectly! The buckle is not too bulky at all (harness fits over/around it easily).

      It does work. As another reviewer pointed out, slide the yellow band as close to the buckle as possible to prevent it from slipping. However, if you cinch it tight enough it, it tends to stay in place quite well even w/o the yellow band. It might also help to orient it with the opening in the buckle on top (opposite from the picture rendered) – like a fish hook. This is the way I wear it and I never experience problems.

        Comments about Mountain Hardwear Alloy Nut Belt:

        Not sure how others are wearing it but I do not have a problem keeping it taught or it coming undone. It is a 1.5 inch width unlike the other mtnhdwr belt which is 2 inch. So it is a slimmer profile and my waistband does tend to flip over it a bit because it does not fill up the loops all the way. Overall it is a cool belt and does what it says.

          Comments about Mountain Hardwear Alloy Nut Belt:

          I bought this belt a few months ago, and I have started wearing it more than all my other belts combined. It's light weight and very flexible, so I don't even notice I'm wearing it. I have never had problems with the belt slipping. I love this belt, and I'm going to buy it in a few more colors.

            Awesome product...Not at first. It always came undone and loosened up. Well I figured out that if your push the yellow loop that holds the extra belt to your side into the "friction lock" it will add more friction and has never come undone for me. I will add a picture to show.

              Comments about Mountain Hardwear Alloy Nut Belt:

              I bought this belt because of its flat buckle and thin design. I was looking for a belt buckle that would not jab into me when I tighten my backpack waist belt over the top of my regular pant belt. I wear a size 36" pant waist and this belt fits well. When I tighten the belt, it stays tight and doesn't slip. It's my new favorite hiking belt!

                Comments about Mountain Hardwear Alloy Nut Belt:

                I'm not sure why the others are complaining of this belt loosening. I've been wearing mine daily for a few weeks with no problems whatsoever. I love that the design allows for infinite adjustment unlike traditional belts. Also I can see how it could serve double-duty on the trail or at the campsite. Best of all, it is different and at the same time it is very functional. It quickly comes off but only when you need it to. I only wish that it were a little wider to fill those belt loops more fully.

                  Belt works fine for me now. Been on plenty of hikes and camping trips and it hasn't come undone once since I did this. The first time I put it on it did come undone. You need to have the buckle pointing up like a fish hook instead of how it is pictured.

                    Comments about Mountain Hardwear Alloy Nut Belt:

                    By far my favorite belt.
                    I'm not entirely sure why people say this belt comes undone, after wearing it all day I don't need to tighten it once, unlike some of my other belts. It can come undone if you lift the grooved tab, which my girlfriend might sneak up from behind and do.
                    The belt is about 40+inches, and I'm about 30in, but I keep the excess inches on, you never know when you might need you use you belt in an emergency like tying a splint or something together.
