Comments about Bison Designs 30mm T-Lock Belt:
I have 2 of these that I've been using for about 2 years. They are my favorite belt and go well with blue jeans. I broke my first two by sitting or stepping on the plastic buckle when it was open. This snaps off the cover and breaks the hinge. Since then I've adopted the habit of clicking the buckle shut when it's not in use. When it's closed, the buckle is much more resistant to breakage.

Comments about Bison Designs 30mm T-Lock Belt:
I bought this belt over 15yrs ago and STILL use it every week. Its worn well and the size is a bit smaller now with my expanding waist, but it holds true. I don't need a new one, but I'm breaking down and getting one anyway.

Comments about Bison Designs 30mm T-Lock Belt:
The buckle holds fast, never slips, I wear it everyday while traveling. I have never had to take it off for Airport Security due to it's plastic buckle. Really looking forward to wearing it while backpacking this summer. Great product!

Comments about Bison Designs 30mm T-Lock Belt:
I'm buying a replacement belt cause my last one broke. I was using it as a strap for some poles I was carrying, and I put tension on the plastic buckle in the wrong way.
This belt lasted over 2 years of daily use with no signs of wear to the fabric or buckle. Originally I bought it as a alternative to a leather belt, washable, etc. This has turned into my favorite belt by far. Never thought I'd get passionate about a belt, but this one made me. Buy it!

Comments about Bison Designs 30mm T-Lock Belt:
I was looking for a belt that would remain tight even when I move around with my climbing harness. In the 6 months I wore this belt it only came undone one time while climbing, with other belts this is an everyday annoyance. I also love the low profile design because it does not get pushed into my waist. Unfortunately, I accidentally stepped on the clip and it broke. I am genuinely sad about this because I now have to wear a different belt tomorrow before I can make it to REI and buy another, probably two just in case.

Comments about Bison Designs 30mm T-Lock Belt:
Comfortable, good looking and absolutely practical especially around water or during sweaty weather/activities. The perfect belt for any sort of outdoor adventure or activity and also good for general casual wear. I've worn mine almost daily for well over a year and it still looks new. It holds my pants up and anything else I hang from it (cell phone, multi-tool, camera, etc.) and it remains comfortable. This is good gear.

Comments about Bison Designs 30mm T-Lock Belt:
This belt can be worn by both guys and gals! It is a great belt to wear when travelling as it's one less thing to have to take off when going through airport security - the plastic clamp won't set off the alarms like a traditional metal belt. We wear ours almost daily and they hold up very well - it's a great belt - try it!

Comments about Bison Designs 30mm T-Lock Belt:
One reviewer mentions that the buckle is likely to wear out in 6 months. That is not my experience. I have two of these belts, I wear them almost every day except when I have to put on a leather belt to go with a suit and tie, and I have never had a problem with the buckle. Both belts, one five years old, the other two, show absolutely no sign of wear. Also, interesting, is that I get compliments on the belts from people who notice what people are wearing, so they must be somewhat stylish in someone's mind. I certainly think they are. The older one is one that the company seems no longer to make. The colors are bright and geometric, native American inspired, I would say. I wish the company would bring it back.

Comments about Bison Designs 30mm T-Lock Belt:
I have a severe nickel allergy and can not find many buckle style belts that don't cause dermatitis. This is my solution. Don't expect the buckle to last longer than 6 to 12 months though.

Comments about Bison Designs 30mm T-Lock Belt:
Totally solid buckle mechanism - no slippage at all. Slide the free end into the buckle, push down to click & lock, and it's completely solid. Not bulky. I bought large, though I'm 35-36", because Bison mediums didn't seem to leave enough of a "tail" for my liking. The large leaves plenty; close to too much, but I think I'm leaving it as is "just in case" (not that I expect to grow that much, but for utility, non-belt emergency use). The color is fantastic - fits with essentially any pair of pants, no matter what their color. Excellent width for most of my outdoor pants. No regrets!
