If there are guys out there relying on these Kevlar straps to keep them safe while descending near raging forest fires, we think they’ll do the job keeping up our pants. Seeing as how each of these Kevlar Smokejumper Belts from Best Made are insanely durable and resistant to abrasions, cuts and UV damage, one purchase and you can check “Belt” off your “To Buy” list for the rest of your life. They come with a hot-forged alloy steel parachute harness that’s been load tested at 2500 lbs, so unless you ate a ton of cheap Mexican, you should be good. The way we look at it, if they can keep smokejumpers alive, they can keep us from getting pantsed.
