Groove LifeGroove Belt Men's Stretch Nylon Belt with Magnetic Aluminum Buckle, Lifetime Coverage

I really like my Groove Life belt. I bought it 3 years ago and it is near as good as the day I bought it. It hasn't lost any elasticity that I can tell. I've worn it every single day as just a normal belt to hold my pants up and for my EDC routine.I wanted a belt suitable for EDC and I didn't want to spend a lot to find the right fit. I knew I wanted something super adjustable, so traditional buckles were out and I've never owned a leather belt that carried a lifetime warranty like the Groove Life does. I didn't want some hyper-tacticool one-trick pony. I have (or had) a bit of a belly, so I didn't want anything really stiff that would dig into me. For me this belt has the right balance of stiffness and flexibility and is comfortable no matter what I'm doing.The things about the Groove Life that caught my eye were the belt buckle, material, and adjustability. The price was reasonable enough to try it. I liked how easily it hooked up. I also liked how the excess tucks away on the inside rather than on the outside like most belts. It makes for a cleaner look. It's worked out really well since I've lost quite a bit of weight this past year.I was a little skeptical on how well the buckle would remain secure, but I knew neodymium magnets are pretty strong. The thing darn near buckles itself, just get it close and the magnet does the rest. The buckle has never come undone on its own and I usually I wear it a little loose when I'm not carrying. It tightens up on its own when my IWB goes on. I find it has just the right amount of elasticity. I usually don't need to readjust. I also don't find it as hard to adjust as some other reviewers do, I can adjust it without taking the belt off. Yeah, it takes a bit of effort but if it was too easy you'd be worrying about your pants falling down.If your EDC is heavy, like 1911 heavy, this may not work as well for you, but if it's polymer or compact you'll probably be fine with it. From my experience, G43, G23 and CZ P-01 work fine with it. YMMV. If for some reason you're just not feeling it, before giving up on it, consider an Ulticlip for your holster, it might just do the trick. I have them on my IWB and they work great to secure your holster to your belt.

I bought one of these back in 2022 and loved it. It lasted years were other belts would only last 6 months at best. So it was definitely worth paying a little more then the average belt you get at a department store. In fact I like this belt so much I bought 2 more only to find out that the warranty on the belt covers wear and tear not just defects. So I still can have my original belt replaced. I still don't regret buy 2 more, without a doubt best belt I've ever had so far.

I’ve spent the past couple of years waging a quiet war against belts. I ditched them entirely and went full stealth mode with those under-the-shirt suspenders. Stylish? No. Comfortable? Eh… until my shoulders started whispering, then shouting, “Please, no more!”Enter the Groove Life belt. I didn’t expect to fall in love—but here we are. This thing snaps into place like it was forged by space engineers and hugs your waist without strangling it. Honestly, it’s the last belt I’ll have to buy. (Though I might grab the fancier version, just in case I ever feel like tucking in my shirt and pretending I’ve got my life together.)

I got tired of replacing belts every 6 months to a year. I finally got this and wow. Putting the belt on is fast. No loop adjusting and sliding the excess through. No debates on which notch to pick. Sure it’s only 10 seconds but it feels much better. I should have gotten this a long time ago. As far as size they give you a lot of extra slack. You can cut and melt the excess.

I do like the belt, rugged and well built, I bought a medium for 36” waist and it’s perfect, it only needed the slightest of adjustment. However I am a bit at odds with the false marketing, Born in Alaska, Built in Tennessee But Made in China!

A good daily wear belt, but there are a few negatives depending on your use.Sizing - I normally wear a size 32 pants. I got a Small Medium Belt and a XXL Belt. As long as the belt's size meets to exceeds your normal pants size, it'll fit. The XXL Belt wraps around me almost twice, but there's a good reason why I went so large.Conceal Carry - The belt is a semi-stiff Nylon. It's more rigid that a cloth or woven belt but not at stiff as your average leather belt. That is to say, it ain't great for concealed carry. It may work with certain holsters and clips, but it's truly a "your results will vary" type situation.I tried it with the XXL belt hoping that doubling up would give more rigidity, but it didn't make a huge difference.I ultimately stuck with the Small belt and placed a of strip of shaped Kydex on the belt side where I normally carry, then wrapped it with black duct tape to make the belt stiff and rigid in the place where I needed it. Works great a long as I don't tuck in my shirt to expose the belt.Adjusting/Sizing - Adjusting is a bit annoying. You simply but very firmly pull on the excess, but it takes a GOOD pull. Plan on fully removing the belt to adjust it's length. Micro adjustments can be hard to make due to the amount of pull needed. But once you get it, you're mostly good. My issue is going from slim fit jeans to classic fit jeans, then cargo pants required slight adjustments for the belt due to the waist height and material thickness differing from one pair of pants to the next.Buckling - The belt's bucket is super reliable by design. The magnet ensures allows the wearer to more easily buckle the belt. There are hooks that basically guarantee that the belt remains buckled.All that said, the belt is good, but has a few annoying features largely due to the base type of and design of the belt. This won't be my daily worn belt for a few reasons, but I can see the allure to wear it daily. But for someone who conceal carries, this is nice and will work for some but not all.
