Snowboarding belts?

Was just wondering if anyone here wears belts when they snowboard. I was thought I would need to wear one when I couldn't find the velcro straps on the sides of my new pants. After finding though it got me thinking if belts were even practical for snowobarding.

So ya do you or don't you and if you do what kind/which one do you use?

Used to use suspenders on my old pants, but they were a pita to get right..either they were too tight and pulling the pants up my ass or too loose and falling off my shoulders when i bent down/sat down...real annoying...

I just use a regular braided leather belt like i do for all my pants, works fine...*shrug*...

I have to wear a belt. Due to some cruel twist of fate I ended up with a 36 inseam and a 32 waist. Finding pants that are anywhere long enough requires me to have a grossly oversized waist. I forgot a belt one time when I went boarding, I only made it 1 run til my pants were at my knees so I ended up rocking a shoelace as a belt for the day. I felt pretty ghetto steezy that day.

I can't believe so many people wear belts on their snowpants. Mine stay up just fine on their own, and I always thought it would be completely outrageous to use a belt on them. I guess I was wrong.



...But I'm still probably not going to wear a belt.

Yea a belt is great to wear, I couldn't not wear a belt. Those 686 ones that have the tools on it is one of the best I have seen!!! From personal experience, make sure the belt is ones that have holes in it, not one of the self adjustable ones that just slide through and tighten. Cause those start to loosen up after a few runs and you have to keep adjusting it.

However, I do wear a shoe lace. Yes it's cheap but the belt digs in too much when strapping in, and I need something holding my pants up. I see people doing it in skateboarding, so why not do it for snowboarding. It looks a little sloppy but it works.

As for the original topic? Belts must b for "good" snowboarders!!! All a belt did for me my first few months riding was scoop up snow whenever I fell & Dumped it down my crack!!! :laugh:
(...Major case of "Monkey Butt" my first few weeks ridin'!!)

I like Suspenders!!! ;) :D
