Anyone wear belt?

Yep, its a Patagonia Bison-style belt. They call it the Friction belt on their website, however embedding links seems to be eluding me right now, so I'll leave it at that.
It does double duty around campus as well. It seems to me that a length of webbing could be useful in some kind of situation, so I tell myself that it could be used in some sort of MacGyver scenario, so that makes it dual use in my mind :)

That's my belt too! Can't link the site either, but here's a picture of the belt:

I have a black military-style rigger's belt that I have just for backpacking. It's heavy as hades though, but it'll work until I find something I like better (read: works as well but is lighter).

Thomas:

The Patagonia Friction belt weighs 2.5 oz. Probably not the lightest, but light enough. I like its "flat/low profile" buckle. It doesn't "tangle" with my pack's larger hipbelt buckle.

Ben,

Thanks for the tip. It looks similar to the rigger's belt I have, so I need to do a bit more checking. That might be just the ticket!

I usually wear softshell pants or shorts so their fit usually does not require a belt.

Joe uses an Ozark Trails camping utility strap from Wal-Mart, cut to size. $3 and 1 oz. for a size 34 waist. The profile is thicker than the Patagonia, but I bet you can get the Paty-type buckle and nylon strapping from a large fabric store. This is a great first-time DIY project.

Yes, MacGyver, the belt would make a good cinch strap for a foam-pad-turned-splint (just took a WFA course).

No belt for me with my newer UL gear but when I wear regular hiking pants it's a Bison. Belts are definitely multiuse especially when it comes to more involved first-aid like Heather's example.

I wear a 1" wide nylon pack strap with a standard buckle for a belt. It works great, no slippage, easily adjustable, and all for 1 oz.

For a while have been using either guyline or 3mm climbing accessory rope as a belt, in conjunction with a pants that have elastic. Belt has come in handy anytime I need an extra guyline.

I wear a Bison belt. 1.9 oz.

Here's another vote for the Patagonia Friction belt. I've been using it for a while now and I especially like its low-profile and durable materials.
