I bought this in addition to the Nordward trousers, I have other belts I could have used (your average leather loop style) but this belt is the perfect style for outdoor use. The fact that it's any size adjustable makes it easy to adjust no matter what your doing. I'm an instructor on a high ropes course and if I know I'm going to be working at height for a while, I can adjust the belt with ease to make it more comfortable when I've got my harness on. And tighten it back up slightly when needed.
