I'm going to talk a little bit about
0:08
this belt that was gifted to us from
0:12
from JukeMo. I think that's how it's
0:14
pronounced, but I'm not sure. Um, they
0:16
gifted this to us. And what I'm going to
0:18
do be doing is talking a little bit
0:19
about what I like, what I don't like,
0:22
who it's for, and kind of what it's made
0:24
out of and in the specifications.
0:30
Jigmo belt sent uh sent us this this
0:32
particular belt,
0:34
which is in their uh 1 and 12 in nylon
0:38
with a ratcheting buckle. It comes in a
0:41
numerous amount of different sizes. The
0:44
typically the three sizes they have is
0:45
small, medium, and large. And that's
0:47
just all depends on on the complete
0:49
length that you want based on on your
0:50
size.
0:52
The buckle is made of an of a of an
0:54
alloy and is extremely easy to operate.
0:58
What I like about this belt is that I've
1:00
been wearing belts for an awful lot of
1:02
years as you can tell and everything
1:04
from military cloth belts to leather
1:06
belts to big old leather duty belts. Um,
1:11
and I find that this belt that they
1:14
gifted us is remarkably strong for what
1:19
it looks like. It looks like it's a clo
1:20
like it's cloth, but it's actually 100.
1:22
It's 90 9% nylon, which means that
1:25
according to their specifications that
1:27
it needs to be dry cleaned, but I've run
1:29
this through the washing machine and it
1:30
and I've had no problems with it
1:31
whatsoever.
1:34
The other thing I like about too is the
1:35
interchangeability. The
1:36
interchangeability is being able to put
1:38
a different buckle on this the same
1:40
belt. It has a quick action tab that
1:43
that disengages the belt similar to
1:45
this. Um, and there's teeth in there
1:48
that when you put it back in there and
1:50
lock it down, it doesn't slide anywhere.
1:52
If I could get in the right hole. There
1:54
we go. There. Other thing I like about
1:56
it is that it's infinitely adjustable.
2:00
So, no matter where you put the buckle
2:01
in the the belt in it, it'll stop there.
2:06
Or if you have to go really really
2:07
really small, it'll go there, too. And
2:10
the way you release it is there's a
2:12
small little tab here that you lift up
2:15
and the belt slides out, which makes it
2:17
very, very convenient for TSA as I tend
2:20
to do a lot of um international travel
2:23
and getting that belt on and off is is a
2:25
breeze when you get in that situation.
2:27
the variety of colors and buckle styles
2:30
that they have. They have everything
2:31
from from leather to cloth and
2:33
everything in between. The standard
2:36
buckles, the standard belts that they
2:37
have, but this ratchet belt so far I
2:40
found is the is the best that I've liked
2:42
so far. Another thing I like about it is
2:44
how strong the teeth are. I've actually
2:46
hooked this over a rafter in my house
2:48
and hung from it and the buckle did not
2:51
disengage. I also like the fact that
2:53
it's it's very very heavy duty as I do
2:55
carry quite a bit of heavy equipment uh
2:59
on my belt and so it doesn't it doesn't
3:02
flop when the weight is applied to that.
3:05
About the only thing I don't like about
3:07
this belt
3:09
and it's just a matter of getting used
3:10
to it is the release mechanism. The
3:13
release mechanism is on the bottom of
3:15
the belt and it took me a while to be
3:19
able to get that muscle memory to where
3:22
I I knew exactly where it was. So when I
3:24
first initially started wearing the belt
3:26
and I had to get out of the belt
3:28
quickly, I had to fumble with it and but
3:30
after
3:32
using it for a while, it becomes second
3:34
nature. It's one of those few belts that
3:36
you can actually put on and take off
3:38
with with just one hand. I think this
3:40
belt would be great for people that
3:43
their waist sizes change pretty rap uh
3:46
radically here and there and are in
3:49
between the the the buckle holes. I've
3:52
noticed that with regular belts that
3:54
have the holes in them that sometimes
3:56
the small one is too tight and the big
3:57
one is too large. This makes up for it
4:00
by this ratchet technology which allows
4:02
you to infinitely adjust this belt to
4:05
fit your need at a particular time. as
4:08
far as who it's not for is I really
4:10
can't come up with anybody unless you're
4:12
one that doesn't wear a belt. Thank you
