To be accurate, ratchet belts were invented a few decades ago in Asia but few people outside of Asia took notice. That is until American media got a hold of it. So what’s the big deal? Pay attention men. NO MORE BELT HOLES. That’s right, they’ve been deleted, replaced, banished from the kingdom forever – never to return. This “new” hole-less, or, no-holes age of belt that uses a smart, hidden track, sewn into the backside of the leather. So instead of 5 measly, one-inch spaced holes – you get 30-40 (depending on the brand) size adjustment positions, in small ¼” increments. Wow that’s a mouthful. It’s hard to contemplate - until you see it in action (see links below). But basically – it’s awesome! The belt snugs or conforms to your exact waist size every time you put it on. So whether you just ate a large holiday meal or maybe you put in extra time at the gym that week – the fit is always perfect. Wrap your head around that for a minute. We men have been suffering quietly all these centuries and now we’re free. Thank you again to Shark Tank, Beyond the Tank, Kickstarter and IndieGoGo for sharing the news and revolutionizing men's leather belts. (shameless SEO plug)

To make the magic work – you need a buckle. Most are sold as buckle and leather belt sets. And these aren’t just any men’s buckles, but rather a ratchet, or automatic buckles, as they are called. Most use a magnetic or spring system to engage the track. The magnetic design is the more popular in Asia, but I found it gimmicky, bulky and an unreliable – and they can stick when releasing. The spring systems are less bulky, smoother and don’t seem to stick. My preference. Each buckle has a quick release to instantly pop the belt off when needed.
I decided to test 3 of the most popular brands and rate them accordingly (5 being the Best).
4.5 Stars: Trakline Belts - Hands down the best of the bunch. Buckle designs are classic, stylish, with a selection of unique faces, in either solid stainless steel or alloy. Leather is “top-of-the-line”, full-grain. Track is 10” with 40+ size positions (larger than others). Back of the buckle is sleek and grown-up looking with a simple spring-loaded caliper. Negative, more expensive, but in my opinion, worth it. My trakline belt is a year old and looks/works perfectly.

4 Stars: SlideBelt - The oldest of the three and overall a pretty nice belt. Founder is a cousin of Mission belt founder – who we confirmed, stole the concept from them. Ouch. Uses a unique pull lever buckle release (nice) and they have great packaging. Leather quality is fair with a 7” track (30 size positions). Various canvass belts and survival belt. On the negative – their buckle faces are limited to one solid style with various colors/patterns etc. Good look for teens.
Most of these belts come in a one-size-fits-most, and you trim off the excess leather yourself. Sounds tricky, but it’s actually quite easy to do.
Lastly another SEO shout out to Shark Tank, Beyond the Tank, Kickstarter and IndieGoGo for playing along and taking a piece of the pie.
A ratchet belt is a specific style of belt (mostly for men) that ratchets down to the desired size by using a buckle mechanism that locks into place. The position and adjustment of the belt is maintained by using a series of teeth and a latch held in place by a spring or magnetic mechanism instead of the traditional peg and holes that most belts use.
About Shark Tank
Shark Tank is produced by Mark Burnett and appears on ABC. The show features a panel of potential investors, called "sharks", who consider offers from aspiring entrepreneurs seeking investments for their business or product. The sharks do receive money for their participation, but they invest their own money. The entrepreneur can make a deal on the show if a panel member is interested. However, if all of the panel members opt out, the entrepreneur leaves empty-handed. The show is said to portray "the drama of pitch meetings and the interaction between the entrepreneurs and tycoons".A one-hour pitch by a contestant is edited down to "a dramatic 10-minute segment” The show is said to personalize "the desperation and pain experienced by victims of a broken down economy".
The "sharks" often find weaknesses and faults in an entrepreneur's concept, product, or business model. Some of the investors try to soften the impact of rejection, like panel member Corcoran, while others such as O'Leary can be "brutal" and show "no patience even for tales of hardship". Many deals made on the show are never enacted due to the investor's vetting process following the deal, which includes product testing and the examination of the contestants' personal and business financials.
The show initially required each contestant to sign an agreement with the producer of Shark Tank, promising the option of taking a "2 percent royalty" or "5% equity stake" in the contestant's business venture. However, in October 2013, this requirement was repealed by the network, retroactively, due to pressure from panel member Mark Cuban. Cuban felt the requirement would lower the quality of the entrepreneurs, as savvy investors would be wary of trading away a portion of their company just for appearing on the show. A number of participants have declined to appear on the show for this reason.
HistoryShark Tank premiered in August 2009 and aired 14 episodes through January 2010. In August, it was renewed for a second season. Season 2 premiered with a "sneak peek" episode on Sunday, March 20, 2011, before resuming its regular Friday night time slot on March 25, 2011. Season 2 had 9 episodes, 5 of them featuring new panel members. Comedian Jeff Foxworthy and Mark Cuban replaced panel member Kevin Harrington for 3 episodes. Kevin O'Leary, Barbara Corcoran, Daymond John and Robert Herjavec appeared in all 14 episodes. In season 2, Kevin O'Leary, Barbara Corcoran, Daymond John, and Robert Herjavec appeared in all 9 episodes; Mark Cuban appeared in 3, Kevin Harrington in 4, and Jeff Foxworthy in 2. '

Mission Belt
Mission Belt is an adjustable no holes belt designed to do more than hold up your pants. It’s uniquely constructed to fit your waistline just right. Unlike regular belts with holes located at 1"intervals, the Mission Belt can be easily adjusted in tiny increments of a 1/4 inch.
When you gain a pound, or let’s be honest, a few, the last thing you need is a well-worn belt notch that no longer fits broadcasting your weight gain to the world. With Mission Belt, you get the same sleek look regardless of whether your waistline is at its trimmest or you’ve fallen off the workout wagon.
With its genuine leather strap and beautifully crafted buckle, The Mission Belt has a classic look; but its mission is anything but. Founded by three friends, who stole the idea from a cousin, they set out to do more than make an adjustable belt for men of all ages and all occasions.
Not sure about size? Err on the larger side because you customize the fit by cutting the end that hides behind the buckle. Now that's what we call notch-your-average-belt.
