Worried about blowing a buckle the next time you binge at your local buffet? Best Made’s belts are made from the same material as the harnesses that allow smokejumpers to safelty parachute into a raging inferno.
So with 4500kg of tensile strength, an 426C melting point and buckles load-tested to 1134kg, I’m fairly certain these belts will keep your pants up even under the harshest of conditions. For added measure the kevlar material used is resistant to abrasions, cuts, chemicals and even damage from sunlight.
What’s most amazing is the price; a mere $US42 available in yellow, red or navy, in various sizes. That’s like getting an armoured tank for the price of a small car! [Best Made via Uncrate]
