Absolutely love and enjoy

a year ago
This was my first belt purchase from Arc’teryx and I was anything but disappointed. The buckle makes it very easy to put on/take off, although it is a little bigger than I had expected. Overall great belt if you’re looking for a lightweight but reliable belt. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase.
Q: Pros:
A: Easy to use, lightweight/breathable
Q: Cons:
A: Buckle is a little big
Q: Activity
A: Everyday/Hiking
Q: Your Height:

I Needed a Belt for My Swim Shorts

a year ago
Lucky me, I found this and it won’t rust, it doesn’t retain water, it’s strong and light, and matches my shorts. You know sometimes, when you jump in or swim too fast, you can loose your shorts lol Yes well this solves that problem.
Q: Pros:
A: See review
Q: Cons:
A: Little tight to slip into belt loop
Q: Activity
A: Swimming and diving
Q: Your Height:
A: 6ft 0in

Yes, I recommend this product.

Super unique belt that works great!

2 years ago
I've had this belt for a month. I carry items concealed on my belt for work purposes and wasn't sure this belt would be rigid enough. It is magic! Somehow despite weighing nothing and being translucent it has enough rigidity to support what I'm carrying in my waistband. This belt won't be rigid enough for someone carrying items outside the pants on the belt. I do wish the buckle was slightly smaller as it can be a challenge to thread it through some pants belt loops, but I haven't found a pair yet where it didn't fit. The buckle is plastic with some thin parts that may break over time. Overall I really think its a neat concept they've created. I'm a 31 pant size and small has a good six inches of extra length left. Another good thing is the extra tail is captive and is kept under the belt against the waistline.
Q: Pros:
A: Light
Q: Cons:
A: Buckle may not fit belt loops
Q: Activity
A: Travel, Everyday, Hiking

Yes, I recommend this product.

Nice belt for hotter temperatures and travelling

2 years ago
Very light belt - I was concerned about the all plastic buckle but now think it will be a great belt to travel through airport security without having to remove it. Not as sturdy as the other Arc’teryx belt but I like it for travel

Yes, I recommend this product.

Plastic wide buckle

2 years ago
As other reviewer stated, when I bought this belt the description stated it had a metal buckle. Looks like this has been changed on the description to plastic/nylon. I do like the belt but it is difficult to get through pants loops because it is a little bit too wide. It will not go through my Arc pants and can be difficult with other pants. The pants/shorts I can fit bent through I do like. Ill prob return and buy the slimer belt that has been recently introduced. If the buckle was a bit slimmer so it could fit through Arc pants I"d give 4.5 stars. Nice and light. Bought Medium and it just fits my 36" waist.
Q: Pros:
A: Light
Q: Cons:
A: Too wide to fit my Arc Pants
Q: Activity
A: Casual, hiking, scrambling, mountaineering

Yes, I recommend this product.

Plastic buckle

2 years ago
The design and function of the belt looks as expected. Should help keep a ventilated waist line during high output trekking. Description says "self locking, metal buckle". The buckle is plastic, if I would've known that I never would've bought it. Not worth sending back, but not expected to last very long. I suppose I'll test it and see, it may surprise me.
Q: Pros:
A: Strong, blow-through belt design
Q: Cons:
A: Plastic buckle.
Q: Activity
A: Hiking

Best belt for keeping pants up

2 years ago
I thought the belt was more about design than anything, but found it's amiable material keeps up your pants without any bulkiness. Had the conveyor belt and thought nothing could beat it, but this does.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Heliad Belt 38

The 38mm Heliad is a versatile belt made from the same structured mesh used in our Konseal climbing harnesses. That means it's strong, breathable, and comfortable on adventures on and off the mountain. The low-profile separating buckle releases and secures easily and allows micro-adjustments for a perfect fit, and the captured tail design creates a clean finish and eliminates snag potential.

Belt length: S = 41.7in/1060mm, M = 45.7in/1160mm, L = 51.2in/1300mm
