When it comes to gear, every detail matters. No matter where you are or what you’re doing, the slipping, tugging, and readjusting of your waistband only serves as an uncomfortable distraction from the adventure at hand.
At Arcade, we're not just about crafting belts, but redefining the way you experience them. Dive into our top 5 reasons to choose metal free belts, where style, comfort, and convenience converge.
1. Seamless Travel Experiences
Leave the dance of removing shoes, emptying pockets, and the inevitable belt unbuckling in the past when you travel with our non metal belts. Designed for travel-friendly convenience, our belts with plastic buckles can be kept on while navigating TSA, while their low-profile buckle ensures a comfortable fit without bunching.
2. Durability
While metal and leather might give off the illusion of strength, these materials are actually prone to wear and tear when frequently exposed to the moisture, dirt, and sweat that inevitably comes with outdoor adventure. Our belts with no metal, on the other hand, are machine washable, with lightweight buckles and performance stretch webbing able to endure the toughest outdoor adventures.
3. Unparalleled Comfort
Gone are the days of readjusting your belt to prevent pinching, chafing, and discomfort from your metal belt buckle. Plastic buckle belts are micro-adjustable, offering a custom fit that’s more precise than the traditional notches of a leather belt. These low-profile buckles are molded to follow the curve of your form to maximize comfort, while their tapered design makes weaving through belt loops easy. When paired with performance stretch webbing that moves with your body, you’ve got an unbeatable combo for long days on the trail, through the airport, and anywhere in between.
4. Safety and Security
Metal free belts are ideal for individuals who work in environments where metal objects can be hazardous, such as near heavy machinery or electrical equipment. By opting for a belt with a plastic buckle, those working in these environments not only ensure their safety, but contribute to the smooth operation of equipment and machinery.
5. Lightweight and Versatile
Typically much lighter than belts featuring metal buckles, metal free belts are light enough to remain comfortable when worn for extended periods of time. Their flexibility and adaptability also mean they can be used in a variety of activities, from casual outings to more strenuous adventures, without weighing you down or limiting movement.
