This is a marseilles style belt. The buckle is nickle over brass. For those who may not be aware a marseilles style belt is a safe quick release belt. The advantages of a rubber belt for a freediving spearfisher is that it can be tightened to the point of not sliding up and down the torso during descents and ascents due to the repeated compression and expansion cycles of our wetsuit and body. And it doesn't impede breathing because it's flexible and stretches with the expanding torso. Someone who tried diving with a rubber belt will never go back to nylon webbing.

These rubber weight belts are the best we've seen. What we define as good quality in a rubber weight belt is a correct flexibility versus stiffness ratio. The rubber of a Rob Allen belt for example is too stiff and plastic like. It holds weights firmly against the body (doesn't sag away from the body), but is not at all flexible and therefore when tightened to the point of staying put it doesn't allow your expanding torso to stretch it when breathing in. The rubber of an omer weight belt on the other hand is too flexible, it stretches well to fit your body and expands with breathing, but it's not stiff enough and the weight of the weights pulls the belt away from the body. The rubber of our belts is ideal in terms of stiffness and flexibility. The belt can be tightened so the weights stay put, and comfort is maintained.

I got the belt and see why you liked it Dan. I agree that it is the right amount of stretchy and very solid.

I just got mine in the mail today and I happy with it. It is just as Dan described it as far as flexibility and stretch goes. It has a good feel to it and the rivets that keep the buckle in place are removable in case you ever need to replace the buckle or repair the belt in that area. Good job.
