good afternoon hey before we uh get this
0:02
video rolling I just wanted to take a
0:04
moment and give a shout out to Mission
0:06
belts and thank them for the belts that
0:08
you'll see me featuring in this review
0:10
I've really appreciated and enjoyed the
0:12
opportunity to try their products so
0:15
again thank you Mission belts and with
0:17
no further Ado let's move on with this
0:19
video this is a hanger for your belt you
0:21
slide it in there and look at that my
0:24
name is rker and I've been given an
0:27
opportunity to review Mission belts and
0:30
I thought hey why not we'll give it a
0:32
whirl I'll admit I haven't really spent
0:34
a lot of time thinking about belts my
0:36
past experiences is trying to find a
0:38
good belt you know is not as easy as it
0:41
sounds right you know finding one that's
0:44
comfortable and does what you need to do
0:46
and and all that without having to think
0:48
about it is a little bit challenging the
0:49
only way I could accomplish that was I
0:51
found a belt that I liked and then I
0:52
modified it to make it do what I wanted
0:54
it to do cuz there really wasn't any
0:56
belts out there that would do what I
0:57
needed to all around and that I wouldn't
0:59
have to give it much thought and once
1:00
you finally get a belt you like you you
1:02
know you probably keep it for a better
1:04
part of your life it kind of the way it
1:06
works for me so anyway the this Mission
1:08
belt opportunity came up and I said you
1:10
know I'll give it a whirl I got to say I
1:12
was you know pretty pleased I got it and
1:15
uh with what I you know what I ended up
1:17
with I got this box here they actually
1:19
sent me three belts and I thought how
1:20
cool is that well why is there four
1:21
boxes in here if I got three belts well
1:23
I'll show you in a minute here the
1:25
typical belt is those is the ones that
1:27
you know of course you had the holes in
1:28
it and and that's you know the
1:30
conventional belt system um one of the
1:32
problems you have with those type of
1:33
belts is that it's really difficult to
1:35
get it to fit just right you know
1:37
because the holes are typically spaced
1:38
about logo about that far away and and
1:41
one of the things is is that you know
1:43
from day to day what I need changes
1:45
because like right now we're go starting
1:47
to go into you know approaching winter
1:49
now and so my clothes get a little
1:51
bulkier and and so it doesn't
1:53
necessarily fit right I can't get those
1:55
you know I can't get it to fit just
1:57
right so that's one of the issues there
1:59
when I F on this uh belt here you get
2:02
this nice little box here it says thanks
2:04
for being a part of the mission and it's
2:05
got all kinds of little you know uh Hey
2:09
says in here says don't get caught don't
2:11
get caught with your pants down I guess
2:14
that's a good thing with belt got all
2:15
their little stuff in here but what I
2:18
was going to show you is just one of
2:19
these belts to start with here and show
2:21
you why I think it's pretty cool uh one
2:24
thing about it I'll show you okay here's
2:26
just one of the belts and like I said I
2:27
got three I'll show all three of them to
2:28
you so you can kind of see variety what
2:30
it is is on the back side of this belt
2:32
right here you see that these right here
2:35
are a series of teeth right here a
2:37
little ribs okay and so the way this
2:39
belt works is those go inside here it
2:42
just the belt slips in like this and if
2:44
you listen to it hear that all that
2:47
clicking okay um all right that's the
2:50
that's the the teeth inside of this
2:52
thing catching on those little grooves
2:54
that that I showed you here and you can
2:55
kind of see it here I'll put it up a
2:56
little closer so you can see it and
2:58
that's what's locking it in place place
3:00
right there and then there's a little
3:02
lever this little lever right here if
3:05
you lift up right here I'm trying to do
3:07
it with a camera see this little lever
3:09
right
3:10
here okay so you lift up on that and
3:13
then it unlocks the belt and everything
3:15
slides out pretty cool super slick and
3:17
so one of the things that I like about
3:19
that obviously is that the the
3:22
adjustments are it has you know micro
3:24
adjustments in there and so every day
3:26
that it doesn't matter what I'm wearing
3:28
um I can I I adjust it to wherever I
3:31
want it and it may not be like I said it
3:33
might not be the same every day that's
3:34
really all there is to it now one of the
3:36
things the way I received the belt is
3:38
that I found out like wow that's way too
3:39
long for me and then I realized you have
3:41
to kind of cut it down to fit and I just
3:43
want to I kind of want to show you that
3:44
while I've got the you know got the
3:46
opportunity to just make life easier for
3:48
you you see right here I just took like
3:50
a little uh flat tib screwdriver and
3:52
pried this open right here there's a
3:53
this little piece right here and that
3:55
will release the belt you'll see once
3:57
you release it there's some little teeth
3:58
that hold it in place
4:00
and I took that you know just released
4:02
there pulled it apart and then measured
4:04
off my belt to the to the you know the
4:07
length that I needed and then cut it off
4:09
it was pretty easy I just did it with
4:10
some heavy duty cutting shears and cut
4:13
right through it without too big a
4:14
problem okay now one little tip when I
4:17
was fitting it I made sure and I put the
4:19
belt back on there and I made sure that
4:22
I had the belt basically situated you
4:25
know at at the place it needed to be
4:27
when I cut it the belt buckle itself was
4:30
was in the middle part here okay so that
4:33
way once I cut it then uh you know then
4:36
I could adjust it up and down uh from
4:39
there so that's just a little tip that I
4:41
would recommend that if when you go to
4:42
cut these things be sure you know you
4:44
position the belt where it needs to be
4:46
on you okay and so that the belt buckle
4:50
is situated right about here and like I
4:52
said that way you can increase or
4:54
decrease the adjustment once you're
4:55
wearing the belt and then I just took
4:57
the other three belts and cut them at
4:58
the same length and and everything was
5:00
just great so it worked really well now
5:03
one of the little things I'll say is
5:05
that at first there was a little bit of
5:06
a learning curve here for me uh before I
5:08
put it on is I tried to figure out how
5:10
this little Buckle thing worked here and
5:11
like I said there's a little lever right
5:13
here you got to lift it up in the right
5:14
spot right here it lifts up this
5:16
direction right here uh cuz once you get
5:18
it on it's really kind of hard to get it
5:20
added underneath of your belt buckle
5:22
there if you don't know what you're
5:24
doing once you figure it out it's a
5:25
piece of cake super easy and so I
5:26
figured that out ahead of time what it
5:28
what I needed to do to release it and I
5:31
just recommend that you do the same
5:32
thing that way you don't get trapped in
5:33
your belt and you're like oh my gosh I
5:35
can't get out of here super simple but
5:37
you know just want to figure out how
5:39
that actually works there and and uh not
5:41
a big deal now one thing I noticed too
5:43
is that when you if you got it you know
5:45
cinched up fairly tight on you it's
5:47
putting pressure on that little release
5:49
there and sometimes it sticks and it
5:51
doesn't want to let go very easy but all
5:53
I really do is just squeeze just you
5:55
know just pull on the this end just a
5:57
little bit more to take some of the
5:58
pressure off of it and then it'll
5:59
release no big deal at all anyway um
6:02
this is one of the belts right here I'll
6:03
show you this one this one has a black
6:05
buckle on it and one thing I'll say is
6:07
that I like the black buckle looks
6:09
really good sun's coming up and I'm
6:10
outside so sorry about that and you
6:13
notice right here on this Buckle see the
6:15
scratch in it okay I only wore it a
6:17
couple two or three days before that
6:19
Scrat I got that scratch in there and I
6:21
don't know how I got it in there but I
6:22
did cuz it's just kind of painted on
6:24
there yeah you know I think it would be
6:27
really a great buckle for a you know if
6:29
you're dressing up sometimes you know on
6:30
special occasion but daily Weare
6:32
probably not so good this way I mean the
6:34
Buckle's fine works great I probably
6:35
just take a little black marker and
6:37
cover that scratch up with no problem
6:38
but just something I found along the way
6:40
and this one here is kind of made of a
6:42
fabric there and then and then it's sewn
6:44
onto the back side of I think is leather
6:47
right there that's what that one looks
6:48
like and and I like that one all right
6:50
here's another one now I like this one
6:52
here um this one uh I'll show you the
6:55
Buckle it actually has a flag on it and
6:58
if you and I position it right you can
7:00
see that it's actually formed into the
7:02
Buckle right here you you can feel it
7:04
like there and I'm sure you can see it
7:06
by looking at it it's not just printed
7:07
on there it's actually formed into it
7:09
that's a pretty heavy duty Buckle right
7:11
there I really like that one also the
7:13
thing I like is it's got this little
7:15
Loop right here okay most belts do but I
7:17
got another one right here I'm going to
7:18
show you in a minute that didn't come
7:20
with that I'm like what the heck why
7:21
didn't that one come with it I don't
7:23
know but this one does and so this has
7:25
kind of been my favorite belt so far now
7:27
a couple other reasons I like this one
7:29
though is because of how it's
7:31
constructed too if you look at it really
7:33
close yeah it's got like six stitches
7:35
into it and then it's sewn onto the back
7:37
of this leather here like that and so
7:39
it's a little stiff at first but now
7:42
I've been wearing it for probably a
7:43
couple weeks and you know uh it's nice
7:46
and comfortable now and I really like
7:48
this one a lot this one here you know
7:49
not so much for you know more dress up
7:51
occasions and things like that but in
7:53
everyday wear yeah this one works great
7:55
for me one other belt I'm going to show
7:57
you is this one that's what the Buckle
7:59
looks like there I really like this one
8:01
now I think this one work really works
8:02
for good for a dress up and if you look
8:04
at the the leather on it now this one is
8:07
leather there's nothing sewn on this one
8:09
it's just straight leather as most of
8:11
you know the nice thing about leather is
8:12
once you got it broken in you know
8:14
leather man it just it's there's just
8:16
really nothing that beats it you know
8:17
for comfort and everything fit like a
8:19
glove right but anyway there's that one
8:21
right there in all other respects you
8:23
know mechanically speaking they're all
8:25
identical so now one more thing I want
8:27
to show you and uh I didn't even realize
8:29
Iz this when they were sending these
8:31
belts to me I had another box here and I
8:33
just think this is so cool one of the
8:35
problems I have is you know I have I
8:37
have a number of belts that I use for
8:38
various things you know and and they
8:40
just kind of I Loop them over my closet
8:42
over the rod and that's where they are
8:44
and and usually normally what happens
8:46
eventually they just slip off and end up
8:49
in the bottom of the closet and I'm
8:50
crawling around there trying to find the
8:51
belt I'm looking for one of the things
8:53
that mission belt did for me is sent
8:55
these see that that's pretty cool what
8:58
is that well let me show you that's
9:00
pretty awesome once you figure out what
9:02
it is this is a hanger for your belt and
9:04
the way it works is you slide it in
9:06
there and look at
9:08
that oh that's pretty cool so now these
9:11
just hang on you know hang in my closet
9:13
just like that no problems with them
9:15
slip them off anymore and I can put them
9:16
where I want and and I'm like wow that
9:19
was pretty smart I you know I wish I had
9:21
something like that for my other belts
9:23
but other belts of course don't have the
9:24
same buckle you know one thing is just a
9:26
little bit of a learning curve kind of
9:28
thing I never had to expend of a
9:29
learning curve on a belt before to
9:32
figure out how these things work and I
9:33
had myself down here scratching my head
9:35
okay this is how that goes and that kind
9:36
of thing you know and I know it's kind
9:38
of silly but it is something but the
9:40
thing is it really it's super simple
9:42
once you do figure it out and and uh
9:44
matter of fact I've already told you
9:45
everything you need to know so it'll be
9:46
a piece of cake for you whereas me I
9:48
kind of had to look it over a little bit
9:50
and experiment with it and see what I
9:52
needed to do and figure out how to do
9:53
the things like with adjusting the belt
9:56
and and and whatnot anyway if that is a
9:59
I just took care of it for you um so it
10:02
shouldn't be a con for you anymore one
10:04
was that I you know that I had one of
10:06
the belts missing that Loop right there
10:08
and I wish that one had it as well um
10:11
but the one I wear every day uh this one
10:13
here does have it so just you know make
10:15
sure that they have it if that's
10:17
something you want one of little just a
10:18
little comment too is that one thing is
10:20
when you're putting this belt in here
10:22
because that little Loop right there see
10:24
it it will tend to bypass that if you
10:26
don't position the belt just right and
10:28
I've overcome that let me get it apart
10:30
here again there you go um it's just
10:32
that when you put it on you want to make
10:33
sure the Buckle is actually straight
10:36
like this so that the uh belt will slide
10:39
in right there see so it easily slides
10:42
in so just something to watch you know
10:44
when you go to put your belt on just you
10:46
know make sure and keep the Buckle
10:47
straight and then you won't have to
10:48
wrestle with it and then at the same
10:50
time I'm you know I got the belt loop on
10:52
my pants you know that I want this to
10:53
slide underneath of and and once you
10:55
figure out how to do that it's super
10:57
simple so no big deal there some of
10:59
these belts are pretty stiff when you
11:01
first put them on but you know hey what
11:03
what pair of leather boots have ever put
11:05
on and they weren't stiff too that's the
11:07
way a leather works there's some things
11:09
you could do is you know oil it up or
11:10
whatever but you know what just put it
11:12
on and flex it and and it's good the
11:15
nice thing about that leather is it
11:16
lasts forever and once you got it broken
11:18
in it you know just really super
11:20
comfortable I have a couple belts that I
11:22
wear I used to wear all the time and I
11:25
was really happy with them but I'll tell
11:27
you what I switched to this belt and
11:29
wear it every day now I I know when
11:31
you're looking at the belts I think I'll
11:33
make one little comment like this one
11:34
here is looking at the construction all
11:36
their their belts are not all the same
11:38
the buckles basically are other than you
11:40
know cosmetically but the belts are all
11:42
different so you'll want to pay
11:43
attention to the actual design like this
11:45
one here that I was saying this this one
11:48
here it's got the scratch on it okay
11:50
this one I didn't really care for the
11:51
way it was constructed so much it just
11:53
got two stitches one here and one here
11:55
and I don't even really know if that's
11:57
actually uh I don't think this is is
11:59
actually leather right here it doesn't
12:01
feel like it it's not stiff and textured
12:03
I mean it's more comfortable than the
12:04
other belts cuz it's so flexible I
12:06
started off with this being my favorite
12:08
but I realize that's not I don't think
12:10
that's really leather so I'm just making
12:11
the point that not all of their belts
12:13
are constructed the same so I'm just
12:15
want you to tip you off to kind of pay
12:17
attention before you order one to get
12:18
the one you want and like I said you
12:20
know hey leather's leather you know is
12:23
what it is this really you know good
12:25
leather belt right here and then they do
12:27
come with different patterns and things
12:28
there some in there I I really like
12:30
there's a couple more I wouldn't mind uh
12:32
trying just cuz of some of the you know
12:34
the cuts in the leather patterns but
12:36
then like I pointed out with this belt
12:38
here this one looks like it is leather
12:40
and and it's actually got six stitches
12:42
all along the length of this thing
12:43
holding this thing together and you know
12:45
that's especially for an everyday wear
12:46
belt to me that's a good thing you know
12:49
so just wanted to mention to you that to
12:51
you too so you'll know when you're look
12:52
at look at the belts closely before you
12:54
order them and decide you know what you
12:56
need or what you're looking for what you
12:58
know what's going to serve you best so
12:59
all right well like I said my name is
13:01
rker and that's what I've got to say
13:02
about Mission belts thank you Mission
