ITAY BeltsITAY Metal Free Hypoallergenic Leather TSA Belt Strap, Sturdy Men's Adjustable Nickel Free Belt

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I have to go through metal detectors daily and this belt has no metal.

Awesome quality. Still is great after three years. Will not set off any scanner.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I had this belt for 2 years, and it was great. Never had to take it off at an airport. The pleather started degrading, so I bought a new one. However... I went to catch a flight out of SAT. The belt showed up in a scan, and the airport pigs patted me down. So, now I gotta give this a 1-star review.

Good fit and comfortable. Appears to be made to last for a long time.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This was purchased in April and is cracking at buckle holes in June. $29! Wasted!

Update Winter 2024: Had a buckle break but the folks at Itay hooked it up with a replacement. I was going to buy another one anyway… this belt is exactly what you’re looking for if every other belt gives you skin issues. Not having to take it off for metal detectors is a bonus. Super happy.Original review:On one hand, the leather is pretty damn decent and the metal-free buckle solves the skin irritation issue. Even the Zero Nickel belts were still causing issues. These are great.On the other hand, they haven’t gotten the compound quite right for the buckle. They’re too brittle and the two that I’ve bought so far have both broken at the pin (term?) that goes through the hole in the belt. Both times, it snapped from every day use… I’m not wearing it ridiculously tight or throwing it around by any means. It’s just too brittle. Both lasted less than 6 months. The leather belt itself still looks brand new.At the end of the day, I haven’t found a better alternative. We’re going to try a 3rd one, cross our fingers I get more than 6 months out of it, and if not, I’m just going start my own belt brand and start importing these things myself with a longer warranty.

Low quality, thick leather. Hard to deal with. But, as advertised, does NOT set off TSA metal detectors.

It fit well, however after I have used it for about 6 months it did show some ware. Then the buckle pin snapped and failed to be of any use.
