Customer Reviews Arc'teryx 38 mm Conveyor Belt

I should have taken the reviews for this item more seriously. The belt is of excellent quality, it looks great when it's finally on, but the struggle required to put it on and/or remove is difficult to get past. The end of the belt is simply too thick to easily fit through the metal clasp. This design oversight will certainly irritate me enough to stop wearing it at one point. I'm disappointed. Typically I love all Arcteryx products.

I just got the black revised version. I have the previous version I bought last summer in enigma. Both were medium as I have a 36" waist or large pants. New version is 3" longer than the previous and that is why you only get 4 stars a small would be better now. I've seen a trend in the last couple years with Arcteryx that is disconcerting. When most of your sales are online don't screw with the sizing. In fact that would be 80% of complaints with all your revised versions. Quality of the belt is identical, needs some working in.

The issue with this belt is how you have to set its tightness. It doesn't have a prong to insert into belt holes; in order to have the tension stay set you have to over tighten the belt slightly and then elevate the buckle 45 degrees and have the down side hold the belt in place. Then, with the buckle still at a 45 degree angle you can draw the belt through the buckle. The tension relaxes slightly to a proper tightness. This takes a few times to get the hang of it but once you do the belt does a decent job of staying in place. And because the buckle is small, it doesn't dig in to your stomach when bending over. So if you don't mind a small learning curve it works well. It's not as hard as the reading of this might sound. And once you are proficient it actually provides more fit choices than a belt with holes.

I ordered this belt because there are many reviews online saying that it's a well-designed and well-built belt and they are correct. Unfortunately, the material of the belt is far too rigid, the openings of the buckle not large enough and the end of the belt too thick. The result is a very unpractical belt that is difficult to set and use. You must battle every time to pass the belt through the buckle. My idea of a pants belt is that it should be easy to open and close. If this is your idea also, this belt is not for you.

A belt that is comfortable and subtle enough for everyday use in a professional setting. Strong and durable enough to still look professional after years of outdoor use in the rain, snow, and sun. Highly recommend. Doesn't slip, and holds exactly where you place the buckle all day.

Please Please Please redesign! I think it is overall a great quality belt, and with a few small changes, I would buy it again. Pros: It stands up to wear and tear well. I see some other people dislike its firmness, but I am a fan! Non of the stitching has frayed or come loose at all after a year of wear. Cons: The buckle of course. Other people are mainly noting its size, but I think the biggest issue is the direction! Please flip the buckle 180 degrees to make the use more intuitive. If the buckle faced the other way (wider side with the logo facing towards the length of the belt instead of toward the loose end), then you could lift it to loosen. Imagine how you tighten and loosen an airplane seat belt, tilting the metal upward. On this belt, when you pull the side that looks like a pull-tab, you just spin your belt around. If it were the other way, you would have a nice handle to use to put on and take off the belt. I have tested this by flipping the buckle inside out. Though this made the buckle easier to use, it resulted in the tags being on the outside and the plastic tail end curving the wrong direction. So, ultimately, I turned it back around and suffered with the annoying buckle. This would be such an easy redesign!

I have 2 of these. One is the wider and the other the narrow version. I like the wider one but the narrower one is very difficult to get the tip of the tag end through the buckle. It requires a lot of force. Is there anything I can do like filing the edges of the tip? Have other people encountered this?

Sizing is a bit funny Sm is super small, Lg is super large and medium is on the smaller side... 33 W Md fits perfect on the small side. But really sturdy, tough belt. My Second one.

Great belt.

good!

This is the duplicate of a great belt that I have used for five years.

Everyday I leave the house with my eyeglasses and watch, the very same ones, day after day. My wallet and phone are almost certainly in pocket. My Conveyor Belt has become just as trustworthy and second nature to have along . I'm in my fifties. I've been searching for such a great fund in a belt. I've found it. I just ordered two more. They'll likely outlive me as best I can guess, many years I hope.

The conveyor belt is great, durable and easy to adjust. It ticks all my boxes for a belt.

Love how Zappos has this belt in more colors than the actual ArcTeryx website. My son wanted this thicker style, and appreciated all of the color options. He has it in black, and it's his favorite belt, so now he has another color in his collection.

This is a really nice belt. It is wider, thicker, and stiffer than most belts with a similar design. If you tighten it to the same spot every time, the belt will break in a little and naturally settle to that spot when you tighten it. One thing to note is that with this style of belt, it does need to be long enough so that you can pull it through the buckle and then pull it tight. If the belt is too close to the size of your waist, it will be extremely difficult to put it on. I love this belt, but the sizing is wonky. I have worn the previous iteration of this belt for years. Last year, i ordered this new version. My normal size was 4” longer than my old belt and the next size down was 2” shorter than my old belt. So, way too long and too short to buckle. Now, I figured I would try again sinceI had a solution for the extra length, so I ordered my normal size and this time it is slightly shorter than the previous generation. This is a wonderful belt, but I have no idea what is going on with the sizes. I suggest ordering at least 2 sizes. If you have never ordered one of these belts before, you might as well order all the sizes.

I have been wearing this belt almost everyday for about two years and it has lots of life left. A great move from typical belts as this one is adjustable to any size. Highly recommended.

I liked this belt so much, that I have bought different colours for different pants

I wear this belt with work pants, shorts and jeans. Secure fit.

I have several of these belts in both the regular and the narrow versions. They are great with jeans and any casual pants. Very durable construction. Obviously great to use if you are in the mountain but also good everywhere else you go.?

Excellent all around belt for everything from hiking pants to scrubs! I have four different colors and they all get used frequently.

This is a very stylish belt. I bought the green colour for my friend's birthday gift and he likes it a lot. Suggestion for guy's gift, this is a good choice. That's why I bought another two with different colours and by the way, they usually have colours in seasons, summer and fall colours. The price is not bad (reasonable), that is another reason that I suggest this is also good choice for guy's gift (if you don't have any idea what to get).

I have purchased three of these in different colors over the years. They are great for travel. They are great with jeans, and they coordinate nicely with the wool sneakers I also wear when I travel.

belt successfully hold up my pants! great, now to the only issue.. if you find yourself needing to use the bathroom rather quickly it's a bit tricky to get it movin. you better hope you don't mess up because it's a intricate process to get this thing undone. if this has happened to you. we've all been their and it gets better. except your dignity. that's long gone. all and all good belt do recommend.

Fits perfect, size are perfect. Will buy another color.

This belt is a MEDIUM but is bit long. I just wear it with the end tucked under the belt and it looks great!
