Take advantage of that Groove Life warranty while it lasts. Their belts don't. Mine is 1 year old and I have to tighten it every other time I wear it.

That’s unfortunate because I really like the belt. The buckle design is really nice and the strap feels nice and sturdy. I like that it doesn’t warp on the back loops but I could see the elastic band being a problem over time. Have you taken advantage of the warranty yet? And if so how was the process?

I’m 1.5 years into my GL belt and haven’t had issues. I have to adjust between different pants (jeans vs lighter weight shorts) that I wear sometimes but it’s always been consistent.

No issues with mine, 9 months in. Best belt buckle mechanism I've owned.

I do love the buckle. The stretchy belt is where I have problems. If I coupled this buckle with a seat belt strap, it would last the rest of my life.

I needed a new belt because mine would fall apart in just a few months. My gf recommended a get a good quality belt so I don't have to keep replacing them. I went with Hanks belts. And they make nice belts. I daily wear one of their canyon belts. Also has a 100 year warranty.

Yeah I was thinking about getting hanks as well. Need a brown one and it doesn’t look quite as good on nylon. Heard nothing but good things about hanks.

I’ve worn my grip 6 belt daily for four years now. It’s just now starting to show some wear on the strap. By that I mean it now has some character not anywhere near failing. I’m considering getting another strap just because, not because I need one. I’m sure I can get another decade of use out of this belt. Definitely a lifetime of use out of the buckle.

Same. My Grip6 looks like new after several years as my daily.

I wear a Grip 6 belt daily. I have 2, one of which I’ve had 4 years or so and the other 2 years. No issue with stretching or loosening with the strap. I flip the head every once in a while to keep the wear on the strap relatively even (I’m not a bean pole, so the belt gets a little wonky here and there). They’re pretty comfy and versatile if you’re looking for a low profile, no nonsense belt.

I like my GL belt.

Screw the simps that say "oR UnTiL tHe CoMpAnY gOeS oUt Of BuSiNeSs".

That's how warranties work in general, smooth brains.

I've really been enjoying my groove life belts. I see people complain about needing to adjust it once in a while, but it's super easy to adjust in my opinion.

My current belt is my daily driver since roughly 10 years. Still like new. Handmade by a random leather worker in town from full grain leather, bought for like 30$ because he had it lying around.

Notting fancy, but that thing is just unkillable. I change the buckle when I need a fancier or more casual look...

Bullhide belt has been good to me. Not sure if it will ever die.

You want a bifl belt, you need full grain bull hide.

I really try not to buy leather when I can avoid it but at the end of the day you just can’t beat leather with things like shoes and belts. I’m going to get a hanks belt for my brown one because nylon doesn’t look as good in brown.

Hanks Belts.

Yeah I still need a brown one. Was wanting to buy less leather going forward but brown just doesn’t look as good on any of the nylon belts I’ve seen.
