Not a belt I recommend. It always gradually loosens on me, and I am constantly retightening it. Finally gave up wearing it. Had two different straps.

I find it doesn't slip at all, due to the way it grabs the belt. Can you physically make it slip if you grab it and pull from the belt parts not in the buckle? I understand for you it's a loosen-over-time thing, just trying to see if I can replicate it.

I do it exactly as shown in the video here. Even have the same buckle style.

Cinch it to a decent fit, and it appears to be fairly well locked in place, but over time, it may slip as much as two inches, which is enough to render it useless, especially when I’m readjusting it every half hour or so.

I got the Grip6 because I was so sick of belts delaminating, tearing, slipping, and just falling apart within a year. The Grip6 never fell apart, but it’s an underperformer too.

The only men’s belt older than a year that I still wear regularly is my Main Street Forge Heavy Duty, which will likely outlive me.
