Arc'teryx  Conveyor Belt 38

I’ve been wearing the 38 mm Arc’teryx Conveyor Belt every day since it arrived. The nylon webbing looks burly but never digs into my waist. Took it to Yosemite last weekend—hung quickdraws off it, clipped a chalk bag on, and the belt didn’t stretch or sag; the metal buckle pops open one-handed, classic Arc’teryx reliability. Ordered from REI as usual; it was pouring that day, but the driver still left the box dry on my doorstep. Only gripe: the tail is a bit long and pokes out even after I thread the keepers—trimming it risks fraying, so I’m living with it for now.

I took a gamble based on all the other reviews - which were spot-on. The label that comes with the belt says it is 43", the belt is actually 40.5", and website shows 41.7". All three could be right? At first, I ordered the medium last week. It showed up and wrapped about 1.5 times around my waist - holy cow, the thing was long. I looked at measurements for the small belt, measured my waist, returned the medium, and ordered the small. When it arrived, the small belt was more than an inch shorter than the website's advertised length and it was 2.5" shorter than the actual label on the belt. The lengths and sizes are all inconsistent, it really is a gamble finding one that is the exact measurement. If it's the exact measurement on the website, that's great...but it's not. If it's the exact measurement on the label, that's great...but it's not. If it was the exact measurement, I would have been happy with this. Unfortunately, I'm returning this one as well because of the inconsistent sizing. Alas.

I was recently traveling for work and found myself committed to a casual dinner. I had only packed scrubs so I needed proper pants (shorts if we're being honest) and a belt. Grabbed this Arc'teryx belt from the local co-op in Medium as I have a 33" waist. This belt is probably a good 10" too long. I can't get a handle on the loose end of the belt. It worked for that evening but I will be returning it for a Small size as soon as it's convenient. Aside from that, I like it a lot. It's stiffer than some web belts, which I like. Makes holding certain items on your waist a little easier. Looking forward to enjoying it more once I exchange it.

I own many nice belts, thought I would add this one to my collection. My complaints are that the actual nylon belt is very stiff, it might loosen up after a break in period. Next is the plastic end of the belt barely fits through the buckle and has to be forced in. This belt is also inconvenient to adjust and take on/off due to the stiffness of the belt. The little bird logo on the buckle is just a print on there, in the future I could see it ware or scratch off. I would not buy again.

Bought a small after seeing reviews that you should buy a size down (I'm a 34W for pant size) but only had the plastic tab as excess and wasn't sure that was going to be a long term solution. Exchanged for a medium and that was WAYYYYY more excess than I would prefer. I measured each from buckle to tail and small was about 41" while a medium was around 49" (photo included). Label that came with the belt reads 43" and 45.5" respectively. Seems like great quality belt but just a heads up on sizes. I've been wearing a similar belt from another company for 5 years and this seems like much higher quality construction.

I have a few of these belts. I bought another one last month. Compared to my other belts, it is a little different in buckle shape and belt length. See the pictures. The green belt is the old one. The black one is the new one. They are both size small. However, the new belt is difficult to use. It needs extra 3 to 5 seconds to put it on and take it off. It seems the belt buckle should be a little bigger or the belt end/tip should be smaller.

I ordered 4 of these for my family for white elephant. I have just got these in the mail, and two of the belts looks like a store returned or opened prior and lost the packaging

Purchased this belt to replace a Bison Designs belt that I had previously purchased at REI. The Bison Design constantly needed to be tightened to keep my pants up. This Arc'teryx belt is the opposite, it's very difficult to get the belt tight enough. Additionally, the length is too long for my waist size even though I picked the recommended size range. I could not try the belt because is was packaged. I really want a good webbed material belt instead of leather, and both of these belts disappointed me. Will be returning the Arc'teryx and tossing the Bison Design.

I'm a waist size 36 and needed to go with the Medium which works great. I hated the belt at first because it was so stiff and hard to cinch up like many have mentioned. After it breaks in it is awesome though and the only belt I wear. I just ordered the 32mm and it has the same issues but looking forward to getting it broken in. Be patient.

I bought this belt to go along with my Search and Rescue set up. There are two main reasons why I immediately returned it. 1. It does not tighten efficiently. In my experience, I really struggled to tighten it, and then for it to stay as tight as I originally made it. Why is the tightening so difficult? 2. The tongue fits through the buckle, but you gotta really get your elbows into it. It takes too much time to undo the belt, even if I’m not using it on a rescue mission. It shouldn’t be that difficult. I really wanted to love this, as I have my other Arc’Teryx products. But this belt is more of a show piece than practical piece.
