Product Description
The “Kinesis Black Belt” is our standard weight belt.
Sizing
Order the same size as your pants waistband. Kinesis belts are sized to fit over normal streetware, including a regular pants belt.
Our description, for a large belt, says "Optimum fit for 34-38 waist, (fits up to 50")," which means that the padded portion of the belt will wrap around the majority of your waist if you are in the 34 to 38-inch range. Since we provide an extra webbing "tail" the belt will fit a larger waists -- the padding just won't surround your waist. Also, this long tail enables the belts to be used effectively over winter apparel.
Always get the largest belt you can fit into, as it will provide you with more attachment points, however if you are borderline between two sizes, get the smaller size as the belts can go larger, but they cannot cinch Down much past the recommended size.
For women — keep in mind the measurements are for your natural waist or narrow point above your hips. This is much higher than where most women wear their pants these days. If you plan to wear your Kinesis belt lower on your waist or hips, measure that area accordingly. (It may mean going up a size.)

Special Note for those traveling to the Arctic: Quality buckles are made from either Nylon or acetal (Delrin®). We use a Nylon/Acetal combination for our belts because at normal temperatures it is stronger & more impact resistant than 100% acetal. Nylon, however, may not be suitable for high humidity (white water rafting, kayaking or canoeing) or extreme subzero (-20ºF or less) temperatures. Special order belts with substitute acetal buckles are available at no additional cost.
- Made from a 6mm (1/4") dense closed-cell foam and is 9cm (3-1/2") high. The foam does not absorb moisture.
- Conically cut (curved like a banana), providing a good fit for both women and men.
- Inside surface of our belt utilizes SuperKnit, a soft breathable foam-backed knit fabric. The outer surface is made of 500-denier DuPont Cordura® Plus nylon fabric.
- Kinesis belts fit over streetwear, including your pants belt.
- Belts are cut with extra webbing for use over winter apparel.
- All belts include a pair of B501 50mm (2") sliders which helps keep the belt buckle from loosening.
