I have another Patagonia belt that is entirely elastic, with similar sort of latch. It has served well but is getting a bit stretched out. I chose this secure stretch wading belt as replacement.
A shipping coupon helped make the sale. There
is not much stretch and that works well for me.
It keeps running tights from slipping better than most draws... Read Moretrings. Stays where I put 'em.
We're glad to hear the new belt is working for you! A secure wading belt is absolutely crucial for your safety on the river. Thanks for taking the time to submit a review, Michael!

Too wide for most belt loops
Good quality but too wide to fit through most belt loops. Will return.
Thanks for taking the time to write a review, Richard! We're sorry to hear that the belt is a bit too wide for your waders. You are welcome to start a return online [here.](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html)

Elastic wading belt
I initially bought this as a backup wading belt, but it is so comfortable it moved to the primary position for securing my waders. Another spot-on Patagonia product!
