anson7 Ah, the venerable belt, equal parts indispensable accessory and wardrobe lynchpin since time immemorial. Yet when it comes to your outdoor exploits, that traditional belt can be equal parts annoyance and hindrance. Built with your spirit of wanderlust in mind, the canvas collection from Anson Belt offers a modern strap solution that adapts with you and your adventure.

On Performance and Design…
When you’re out tackling the trail, your body and gear is in constant motion. It doesn’t take long before that motion creates a chain reaction which results in your belt starting to loosen and your threads starting to sag. It was a moment like this in the midst of a Sierra summit effort when it finally hit me.

Despite the effort and energy I was putting into picking out socks, boots and apparel that enhanced, not detracted from my motion on the trail, my belt choice was a pathetic afterthought that ended up costing me time and comfort. There had to be a better solution; one we discovered with Anson Belt & Buckle. Anson Belt & Buckle is an adjustable no holes belt designed to do more than hold up your pants. It’s uniquely constructed to give you the ‘Goldilocks Fit’ – not too small, not too big… just right. Unlike traditional belts with holes located at 1 inch intervals, or nylon straps that loosen over the course of a day, the Anson Belt & Buckle system features Microadjust Technology that allows you to adjust your strap in 1/4 inch increments. Anson Belt & Buckle Here’s how it works. Concealed on the backside of the canvas front, leather backed strap is a modern trak system that provides 25-plus choices spaced one-quarter of an inch apart. Simply slide the strap to tighten touch the low-profile adjustment lever That means no more stopping to re-cinch your ever-loosening nylon strap. No more worn-out, stretched-out, augmented poor-fitting belt holes on your old leather straps. You get one belt that fits like a glove every time.

The canvas face is rugged enough to tackle your creek crossings and mountain-mastering mischief. Yet it still offers an understated style that works just as well at the golf course or local watering hole. Want to mix things up? Anson not only offers their canvas straps in an array of color options, but gives you the freedom to mix and match your straps with any Anson Buckle. Result? A range of possibilities as diverse as your outdoor pursuits. Perhaps the only thing better than the straps and buckles from Anson, is the level of customer service provided by the brand. Should anything ever happens to your Anson strap, they will repair or replace it for free… for life. No fine print, no gimmicks just quality dependable service.

Bottom Line…
We’d say it’s the last belt you will ever own… but once you try Anson Belt & Buckle, we’re pretty sure you’ll buy more than one.
