Columbia Unisex-Grownup Navy Internet Belt-Adjustable One Dimension Cotton Strap and Steel Plaque Buckle

A heavy belt for heavy jobs.
A wonderful belt that can carry even the heaviest of tools. Hammers, flashlights, and more. You could probably carry a boulder.

Good Quality Belts; Women Can Wear Too.
5-8-17I’ve been looking for a replacement military style belt for a while now, however, I only searched brick & mortar stores. For some reason it never occurred to me to search Amazon and I shop here all the time. My father and I both wear Dickie work pants majority of the time and we both prefer the military style belts to use with them. The last 3 brands for belts I used were Dickies (lasted years), Wrangler (lasted years) & Faded Glory (only lasted months before the belt portion started fraying). This time around I couldn’t find either of the former 2.My reason for purchasing Columbia belts (I bought 2; 1 Navy for myself, 1 Black for my father) was to try this brand out too. I have not used them before for belts and their price was quite fair compared to the higher end belts I’ve purchased before. The Columbia belts seem wider, but that’s not an issue for me as long as they fit through the pant loops, which they do. I had to test them on my pants, since female clothes tend to be made smaller in every aspect. The cloth for the belts seem comparable to the higher end material too. Only time will tell how they old up. I do plan to do an update as I do on every review. The photos only reflect the Navy belt due to the fact I gave my father the Black one already.I bought this from the seller “Amazon.com LLC”, which I feel is important to list this info. I’ve come across sellers with variances in their items, including knockoffs, even if listed as same brand.***UPDATE***12-25-17I’ve ordered 3 more belts last week, for myself and my father again. 1 Navy, 1 Black, & 1 Beige… not because our belts are worn, but to match with different gear. Once again I’m posting images of the Navy belt. This time around I have a side by side comparison from the one I purchased on April 21st, with the one ordered last week. There is only slight wear that is noticeable on the old belt, which can only be seen if the belt is off the pants. This is where the rear center pant loop is, so the loops has trained the belt to be slightly skewed there, not an issue. The only other difference is a slight fade in color, which in my field, is to be expected (see photos). My belt is exposed to both equipment and automotive greases, as well as construction or landscaping dirt, dust, and mud.I do wash my belt from time to time. I remove the buckle so that there’s no banging while laundering. Funnily enough, I just noticed the cleaning tag on the belt which states to “spot clean only”. Oh well, no problems laundering in the washing machine so far, which has been done at least 5 or 6 times since purchase.After I size my belt, I use a waterproof adhesive on the end I cut, then let it cure. This keeps the end from fraying and makes it easier to reinstall on the buckle. I’m thrilled with these belts. Everything about them screams “quality and heavy duty”. I expect these to last many years.***UPDATE***6-19-19It’s now been just over 2 years since original purchase. The belt itself has held up quite well, and I wear it almost daily… at least 5 out of 7 days a week, if not more. Finally, the bar broke last night 🙁 The bar in the buckle which is what holds the belt taught. I’m disappointed as the rest of the belt is holding up quite well!! Yes, the color has faded a bit, but I’m not concerned since the belt is for my work pants. Now I’ve joined the club with many reviewers, who’ve encountered this same misfortune.I would truly like this defect corrected in the future, easily remedied by using a quality metal, but for now I won’t purchase a replacement Columbia brand. Price has increased by a couple dollars since original purchase as well, furthur contributing to my decision. I’ll look for a replacement buckle, but I tend to keep my older functional ones anyway. I’ve NEVER had this issue in any other brand, it’s usually a lack of quality in the material of the belt and the premature wear or fraying, which causes me to replace them. Now if I could only find a company that can provide both quality material belt & buckles!!I’ve included my own updated photos as well.

Great Belt & Buckle but Breakable
Bought this belt in Feb.’22, love the functionality, look, & feel… then, in Feb. ’25, the metal ribbed bar running across the internal housing broke, making the belt buckle useless. I guess 5 years of wear isn’t bad–but I was surprised when the metal rod just snapped in half.

I like the material.

El color negro desgastado tipo industrial está agradable y combina con todo. Al cortar el cinto para ajustarlo a mi medida me di cuenta que los materiales son firmes y de buena calidad, la tela se siente muy duradera. Pienso que durará muchos años. La hebilla metálica también se ve robusta y el mecanismo es simple, no creo que alguna vez se dañe.Le doy 5/5 porque era todo lo que esperaba.
