How does mission belt work

Two companies designing a similar product with a similar mechanism. You may think that there may not be much difference but you may be surprised when we get down to it.

We will compare the two based on certain factors, some of which includes the ease of buckling, ease of unbuckling, the quality of buckle, aesthetic value, versatility etc. Remember when Steve Jobs said that you should judge a book by its cover?

Well, at least that is what we think he was trying to say, anyway. We are a fan of that. We believe that presentation is an important thing to look out for when buying a product. So first, we will look at the packaging of both the Slidebelts and Mission belts. The Mission belt comes in a simple, light brown colored box with the belt just rolled up in it. The buckle is already attached to the belt strap so it saves you the trouble of manually attaching your buckle.

Comparatively, the Slidebelts box looks more sophisticated. It comes in a black colored box with velvet material sewn on the underside of the box. The belt is rolled up inside with the buckle in the center.

The box looks and feels more stylish and chic. This means that the Slidebelts clearly wins a point with respect to presentation. This is easily one of the most important factors to consider when buying a belt. You obviously need something that is easy to use and does not require much time and effort.

Something that becomes muscle memory after some time. In that area Mission belts win. The SlideBelts does not give this ease when buckling. You need to aim for both the openings, it does not slide in like in the case of Mission belt. So, here a point goes to Mission belt. So another important aspect to look out for when choosing a right belt.

It is very embarrassing to be trapped in the belt because you cannot figure out how to get out of your belt. So this round goes to SlideBelts. I know it is a bit contradicting, but the problem we found with the Mission belt is that it kept getting tighter and tighter because figuring how to unbuckle the Mission belt takes some time.

Maybe watch a tutorial or something. The SlideBelts unbuckle easily, all you have to do is just pull the buckle away from the body and then pull out the belt. So because of that, SlideBelts clearly takes our vote. This is a bizarre comparative point but still important. For those of you who like to use their accessory to make a personal statement, why should your belt buckle be any different?

The buckle of your belt is just as important for fashion as your clothes or shoes. The buckle on the SlideBelts is a clear favorite. It looks expensive and premium. It even feels like it is made of high quality. Comparatively, the belt buckle of Mission belts seems cheaper. They seem like as if they are made out of a low-quality material. They generally look and feel less premium. So again, the point goes to SlideBelts.

Also, Mission belts and Slidebelts both offer only one style of the buckle but they do have options for different finishes. Okay, so the ratchet belt uses tracts to slide the belt in. The size of the tract determines how much you can adjust your product. It is not any different here, both the Slidebelts and Mission belts have an 8 and a half inch tract and 32 positions. So both can be adjusted in same positions. This round is a draw then. A very important point of comparison.

The quality of the belt should be optimum especially for the price that you are paying. SlideBelts have four basic collections. They have premium, classic, canvas, and vegan while the Mission belt has leather standard, leather wide, nylon and canvas as their basic collections. Slidebelts premium includes full grain leather and top grain leather. The only difference between the two is that the top grain leather belts have softer, supple feel while the full grain leather is a bit rougher.

In both the cases, the canvas belt is exactly what the name suggests. These belt straps are made of canvas material. The Nylon belt in case of Mission belts, the strap of the belt is made of nylon material and not leather.

The Slidebelts has a vegan collection. These belts are made of animal-friendly and cruelty-free leather that looks like a real leather. They also a sub-category in this collection. Canvas vegan belt straps. These are basically belt strap that has a canvas on the front and vegan leather on the back. So above you saw the kind of material that is used to make the belt straps.

So this has to be a personal decision but we find that the when you compare the belts of the Slidebelts and Mission belts, Slidebelts has a better quality leather. The mission belt offers a specially licensed sports team belts.

So if you are a hardcore fan and want to show support and love to your favorite team, then what is a better way to do it than wear their belts? So if this seems like your jam, then Mission belts is definitely recommended for you. If you are an animal lover but still like the look and feel of leather, then Slidebelts is definitely for you. They have a collection of vegan leather as well their other products are made using synthetic leather.

They make leather which is animal-friendly and cruelty-free. But if you want the real deal, then go for Mission belts. It is actually a type of material called bonded leather. It is made using two leather pieces which are glued together and plastic coated. We think a company is only as good as its philanthropy agenda. This means that we essentially try to support companies that not only have a good product but also gives back to their community.

Mission belts are one such company. They call this philanthropic effort The Mission. A dollar from every belt purchase also helps in fighting poverty through micro-lending.

This microloan helps people with a dream and innovation to fulfill that dream. All thanks to Mission belt. So if you want to be a part of the mission or are someone who wants to help people, then you can do that even with a purchase of a single belt. You can go for Mission belts.

Slidebelts have belts in 3 basic styles. You have the wide, golf and survival belts. Wide belts are classic style belts but are wider. These give the wearer a more laid-back, casual look. Golf belts are narrower in breadth but have a really stylish and chic finish.

The buckle of the survival belt, called Survival Buckle, has a unique body made of glass-filled nylon that is highly durable. The face and frame of the buckle are made of zinc having a black matte finish.
