Groove LifeGroove Belt Men's Stretch Nylon Belt with Magnetic Aluminum Buckle, Lifetime Coverage

I really like my Groove Life belt. I bought it 3 years ago and it is near as good as the day I bought it. It hasn't lost any elasticity that I can tell. I've worn it every single day as just a normal belt to hold my pants up and for my EDC routine.I wanted a belt suitable for EDC and I didn't want to spend a lot to find the right fit. I knew I wanted something super adjustable, so traditional buckles were out and I've never owned a leather belt that carried a lifetime warranty like the Groove Life does. I didn't want some hyper-tacticool one-trick pony. I have (or had) a bit of a belly, so I didn't want anything really stiff that would dig into me. For me this belt has the right balance of stiffness and flexibility and is comfortable no matter what I'm doing.The things about the Groove Life that caught my eye were the belt buckle, material, and adjustability. The price was reasonable enough to try it. I liked how easily it hooked up. I also liked how the excess tucks away on the inside rather than on the outside like most belts. It makes for a cleaner look. It's worked out really well since I've lost quite a bit of weight this past year.I was a little skeptical on how well the buckle would remain secure, but I knew neodymium magnets are pretty strong. The thing darn near buckles itself, just get it close and the magnet does the rest. The buckle has never come undone on its own and I usually I wear it a little loose when I'm not carrying. It tightens up on its own when my IWB goes on. I find it has just the right amount of elasticity. I usually don't need to readjust. I also don't find it as hard to adjust as some other reviewers do, I can adjust it without taking the belt off. Yeah, it takes a bit of effort but if it was too easy you'd be worrying about your pants falling down.If your EDC is heavy, like 1911 heavy, this may not work as well for you, but if it's polymer or compact you'll probably be fine with it. From my experience, G43, G23 and CZ P-01 work fine with it. YMMV. If for some reason you're just not feeling it, before giving up on it, consider an Ulticlip for your holster, it might just do the trick. I have them on my IWB and they work great to secure your holster to your belt.

Also does a pretty good job of keeping my pants up, being able to dial in the exact fit is a huge improvement over traditional belts, but she doesn’t like when I wear her toys.If you’re unsure on size order up, you can always cut off the excess and burn the end so it doesn’t fray.Maybe a hair overpriced, I’d be more understanding if they were actually US manufactured and not just assembled.

I bought this belt as a gift for my husband. I was hoping it would hold up better than his other belts. I am very happy to say I ordered this in December and it’s now June. This belt still works great and looks great!!!!!!! It has been a game changer. My husband said this is the best belt he’s ever owned and he wants another in a different color, too. If you’re on the fence, just take my advice and buy this belt!!!!! It was worth EVERY PENNY!!!! ♥️👌🏼

This is a repeat purchase for me, so I can keep one in each of the pair of pants I commonly grab in the morning. Easy to buckle/unbuckle. I even had an x-ray technician comment as I was getting my clothes back on after my x-ray session. She had to remark at how easily I threw my buckle together. I showed her that it had strong magnets. Impressive, but that’s not why you’d buy it, of course. I mean, we don’t usually show other people how we buckle our belts, but I digress. I like the easy of buckling, and I also really like that it is infinitely adjustable in either direction with just a strong pull and wiggle. It looks great, too. Very sophisticated. Great for quick airport removal and replacement, if you need to, too. Great product.

This is the second one I have purchased. I liked the first, so I bought a second in a different color. It can be a bit frustrating at times trying to buckle it, but once you adjust the belt length properly, not too tight, it’s easy.

A good daily wear belt, but there are a few negatives depending on your use.Sizing - I normally wear a size 32 pants. I got a Small Medium Belt and a XXL Belt. As long as the belt's size meets to exceeds your normal pants size, it'll fit. The XXL Belt wraps around me almost twice, but there's a good reason why I went so large.Conceal Carry - The belt is a semi-stiff Nylon. It's more rigid that a cloth or woven belt but not at stiff as your average leather belt. That is to say, it ain't great for concealed carry. It may work with certain holsters and clips, but it's truly a "your results will vary" type situation.I tried it with the XXL belt hoping that doubling up would give more rigidity, but it didn't make a huge difference.I ultimately stuck with the Small belt and placed a of strip of shaped Kydex on the belt side where I normally carry, then wrapped it with black duct tape to make the belt stiff and rigid in the place where I needed it. Works great a long as I don't tuck in my shirt to expose the belt.Adjusting/Sizing - Adjusting is a bit annoying. You simply but very firmly pull on the excess, but it takes a GOOD pull. Plan on fully removing the belt to adjust it's length. Micro adjustments can be hard to make due to the amount of pull needed. But once you get it, you're mostly good. My issue is going from slim fit jeans to classic fit jeans, then cargo pants required slight adjustments for the belt due to the waist height and material thickness differing from one pair of pants to the next.Buckling - The belt's bucket is super reliable by design. The magnet ensures allows the wearer to more easily buckle the belt. There are hooks that basically guarantee that the belt remains buckled.All that said, the belt is good, but has a few annoying features largely due to the base type of and design of the belt. This won't be my daily worn belt for a few reasons, but I can see the allure to wear it daily. But for someone who conceal carries, this is nice and will work for some but not all.
