Hey y’all

How many guys on here rock belts? Was thinking about getting one for the spring but not sure about a whole bunch of brands. i’m a fan of buying from small ski companies and was looking to pick one up from capeesh but they’re sold out, anyone hip to some small businesses that make dope belts?

I used to rock this Oakley belt back around 2007. Kind of cringy looking back on it but that was the Oakley still back then:



The 686 toolbelts are pretty sweet too. I had one for years and actually used the screwdriver and bottle opener on it a few times in a pinch:

I made my own capeesh belt out of a dog leash and belt buckle for 15$ cause I can’t afford a 38$ belt and shipping

My RBG bibs are pretty baggy and you can’t tell I’m wearing them underneath my tee

I got 2 capeesh belts because I fell in love with the first one I got, idk why I'd never seen fidlock on a belt before but the system is so much better to me than leather belts.

Never going back baybee

It’s just a regular clip not a fancy fid lock like capeesh but also cost like 3$ from Joann fabrics

I highly recommended grip 6 belts. Liked arcade before but I find the grip 6 keeps my pants up way better

I can't say I've ever seen a belt on a bib before. But since bibs have belt loops I guess it makes sense.

If you like the look, I say go for it

Belts affect your skiing ability, don't wear them. Wear suspenders and don't even do your pant zippers up for more range of motion sheesh

Stopped wearing a belt when I bought shoestrings at Walmart. Used them as suspenders.

2 shoelaces tied around shoulders like suspenders are effective and drippy. Think woodsy does this too.

leather belt or bust, suspenders are just annoying and pointless if you buy better fitting pants

110%. I’ve got an elastic arcade belt. I love it. It’s great to not have to think about your belt while skiing.
