When you move the way we move, your gear needs to be tough, reliable, and ready for anything. That's why when our team designed our new addition to the Utility Category, the Hardware Alu Belt, we went all-in on one of the strongest, lightest materials available: aircraft-grade aluminum.
Here’s why we made that call— and why you’re going to love it too.
Lightweight Strength
Aircraft-grade aluminum isn’t just strong— it’s lightweight, rust-resistant, and built to handle real-world tasks.
By using it in our Hardware Alu buckle, we created a belt that feels barely-there on your waist, yet locks in with serious security when you need it most.
Whether you're hauling gear or just wrangling a packed schedule, the Hardware Alu is made to move with you— not slow you down.
And unlike your average ratchet belt buckle, which can sometimes feel clunky or mechanical, our aluminum buckle offers clean lines and smooth movement.
Designed for Tough Conditions
Some belts cut corners with heavy metals or plastic that can snap, chip, or wear out fast. Not ours.
Our advanced aluminum buckle holds up through rugged use without corroding, cracking, or getting in your way.
Paired with stiff performance stretch webbing that locks out to support heavier gear and apparel, the Hardware Alu was built with the same no-quit attitude you bring to the trail, the job site, or anywhere in between.
If you’re used to a belt without holes, you already know how much better it feels to get that exact fit. Our buckle takes it to the next level—with intuitive micro-adjustability that doesn’t rely on a mechanical ratchet track.
Performance You Can Feel—And Forget
The Hardware Alu buckle is intentionally low-profile, so it feeds easily through belt loops, sits flat against your waist, and doesn’t add bulk where you don’t want it. Its micro-adjustable buckle dials into your exact fit, every time, and features anti-slip silicone that stays on the belt interior to prevent slipping and shifting when worn.
Need to loosen it quickly? No complicated system to figure out—just a smooth, easy release. You’ll never have to look up how to release a ratchet belt again.
Small Choices, Big Impact
Like all of our belts, the Hardware Alu also reflects our bigger mission: to create gear that's better for people and the planet.
Durable materials mean you won’t need to replace your belt every year, and that cuts down on waste in a big way.
Ready to See (and Feel) the Difference?
If you're looking for a belt that can stand up to your most demanding days— and keep you comfortable while doing it— the Hardware Alu is ready when you are.
