Best (pants) belt? Rope replacement?

My leather belt is thick as hell and digs into me while in the saddle. I’m looking into one of the thin webbing belts with 5% elastic, they are really thin. Preferably one of the belts without a regular buckle, maybe one of the magnetic ones, or one of the ones with a buckle similar to the AeroHunter buckles… what do you guys wear??

As far as ropes, how often are you replacing your tether and lineman’s rope
 
First light has one on there website. Says it has flex in it and very small buckle on it. I was thinking of trying one. Also comes in a couple sizes.

Midnighter

It might look formal, but it’s hardly normal. The Midnighter is stretchy, lightweight, and tough enough to tackle any outdoor sport—and look damn good doing it.

This has done well for me. It’s my all around outdoor sport belt. It May be more elastic than you’re asking for.

Same concern I had. I can't stand a buckle that slips as you wear it also. But if you catch it on a sale, might be worth a shot. I do have a set of there suspenders and like them alot. Small, great flex and can't tell you have them on.

strapworks has ultrathin webbing belts with plastic buckle that cam locks and stays put, also cheap enough to get several

i also made a few belts out of extra cobra and raptor 1 inch buckles i had and used 1 inch tubular climb spec webbing

i sometimes use them to back up my saddle, since everything is weight rated

you can make these by bar tacking with a regular sewing machine
 
I have the FL stretchy web belt. It's great, buckle holds tight and it's thin and comfortable. Order the larger size though.

However, I haven't been wearing it hunting. Got the Argali Kodiak belt as well, and that one has been my mainstay. It is very unique in that it has a full knife sharpening system built into the buckle. Great if you have to touch up a knife or broadhead way back in the bush. It's works well with backcountry packs and was designed for that. You can see it here: https://argalioutdoors.com/products/kodiak-belt

And you can seen an online review on YT here:

Nice! I've never seen one in person, from your pic I can see its a little wider then I was thinking from pics on the site. Good to know.

I primarily buy my belts for concealed carry and have tried a lot. The best belt overall I have found so far is the Nexbelt. Their EDC belts are great. Another tip if you don’t like the buckle up front is to start threading your belt a loop or two to the side so the buckle ends up on the side.

TX5 belt gets my vote.

I prefer the strapworks with the plastic cam buckle. Cheap lightweight and you can rotate the buckle off to the side easily without unbuckling if it’s digging in at all

There was a post on this topic not long ago with several suggestions in it. https://saddlehunter.com/community/index.php?threads/wearing-a-belt.42797/

I bought the Marsupial Gear belt linked in post #9. I've been wearing it for a couple weeks and really like it, and it's only $25.

+1. Their simple, little stretch, inexpensive, American build in AZ, and one 1.5"G hook is the only metal on it. Definitely my favorite belt now. Ordered on a Monday and showed up Thursday.

On another note, I also needed an extra 1.5 G hook to swap out on my pac seat (didn't work that well) and he threw that in with it, as those are hard to source that size without waiting on it to ship from China. Quality products and customer support.
