This is 1\" heavy duty webbing that doesn't. And because the buckle is a squeeze-release instead of a prong, you can work it with cold hands or gloves on, which is the whole point at 6 a.m. in October.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBENEFITS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplace a heavy leather belt, which can weigh 8 oz or more, with a belt actually built for hiking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHiking pants often come with flimsy belts that don't hold up.

If you're between sizes, go up. You can trim the webbing with scissors, so too long is fixable and too short isn't. Leave about 6 inches of tail when you trim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it set off airport metal detectors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe buckle is plastic, not metal.

It's a flat 1\" webbing belt with a low-profile buckle, so it sits under a pack hip belt without a pressure point. That's the main reason people switch off leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a hiking belt actually worth it, or is this a gimmick?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHonest answer: if you already own a nylon belt that works, keep it. This is for folks replacing a heavy leather belt or the throwaway belt their pants came with. Cutting 6 or 7 oz for the price of a belt is one of the cheapest weight savings in your whole kit, but we're not going to pretend it's life changing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRounding out your kit?
