So I have had a hard time with retail leather belts. So I researched other belt alternatives and found Grip6. So I asked for it for Christmas but due to issue was not given it. So around two months later I ended up ordering one myself. Once it arrived I tried it with slacks for my job. I do have a physical job so I did put it to the test. Unfortunately it never kept my pants up. I only had a cellphone clip on it so I was surprised that it had a hard time keeping the pants up. I gave it a second chance with my jeans, however I had the same result. I am a bigger guy that is a size 42, I'm just really disappointed that the belt didn't pan out any better then the retail ones. Not worth the cost.
