I bought this belt at REI earlier this year and it is indeed comfortable but if I’m doing anything active (work, hiking) I find the belt slips in the buckle and slackens. Yesterday I felt my pants drooping and, when I looked down, the belt had backed almost all the way out and I had a good 6” of extra loop hanging. When I’m hiking, I find I have to pull the belt tight every 15 minutes or so. I’m not exactly svelte but I‘m not big, either (35” waist”). Any suggestions for fixing this or should I just return it? It’d be a shame because it is a comfortable belt when it’s doing its job but for $35 I want a little better performance.

Hi Ben,

Sorry to hear about this issue. You may have an old model which has now been updated to reduce the slipping. Please send an email to contact@arcadebelts.com for further assistance.
