I bought the belt for my trekking bike rides. After I had bought two new trekking pants with elastic waist was a leather belt for too rigid and one unflexibel.Wen on the wheel is the trouser waistband itself must be able to stretch a bit and just have to give the belt a little. A leather belt constricts rather, or sooner, I then have to make the leather belt further to make it then dismount again something close to so the pants do not get too slips, etc. With this elastic belt that is over now !!! Had only this belt at my current 2-week bike tour ever. Suitable for all occasions; both for trekking pants for cycling and hiking as well as for jeans (since one can only take limited on the bike luggage I had decided only on these to set a belt) .Super convenient as elastic - yet firm enough so that the pants because sitting where they should sit. As I said, both for lightweight soft shell trekking pants and jeans. The length of the belt: I always wanted different sizes, depending on the manufacturer. Therefore, I had sent my belt in size "L" and "XL". "L" I have kept. In "L" it has a max. Length of 108 cm (including buckle -. Without stretching !!!) The belt is made of stretchable material, probably predominantly or exclusively recycled from PET bottles; also therefore a recommendation! Have washed him about my bike ride gently with very little mild detergent hand wash; He takes not bad (Tip: Let the buckle at the hand wash off; afterwards thread the belt again is bit awkward).. So: Anyone looking for an elastic belt for hiking, biking, and .... just buy it !!!
