At first I was skeptical because it kind of has a long tail and I didn’t want to trim it. Once I started wearing it, I realized the tail lays flat and doesn’t get in the way or look goofy...it actually looks kind of cool.

This webbed belt was a nice alternative to a heavier leather belt. It's still sturdy enough to clip a radio or phone to it, yet cuts down on the weight pulling on your waistband. It's stiff, so it doesn't curl like leather will.

Great color, fabric and quality hardware. Easy to adjust size.

I purchased this belt to replace a similar belt from Patagonia. The Patagonia belt frayed and I had to burn the end of it to keep it functional (stop the fraying). The Western Rise belt is a little taller and a little thicker than the Patagonia that I had. The quality and construction are just all-around better. I have used it with my hiking pants and it functioned perfectly. Once threaded through the buckle it doesn't slip. The taller and thicker belt distributes the tension better so it doesn't dig into my body. Definitely recommend this as a casual or outdoor belt.

Overall, a nice webbed belt. The only issue is, it takes time to learn how to get it to be the right waist width.
