This year, as before, we have improved upon our innovative belt to make it even better. We’ve done it with your help and feedback and are grateful, sincerely, and extremely grateful to the Kickstarter Community for providing us with a home and a place of learning. This year, THE SMART BELT UNIVERSAL is renewed with wider textile straps for the many backers that specifically insisted that they must have wider and more casual-looking straps on their Smart Belts. Well, here they are.

We have unlocked a whole new level of comfort by replacing the 5 hole system with 32 adjustments. This system brings a whole new dimension of adjustability. Not many people think about it or realize it but, our waist changes as we go about our business throughout the day. A classic belt does not adjust correctly because holes are too far apart.

Forget feeling tight or loose, you’ll forget you have a belt on but your pants will stay exactly where they’re supposed to.

The Leather we use is the most exclusive leather anywhere in the world. Vegetable Tanning is almost a lost art. Because it takes longer to tan the leather with natural tannins it has been replaced by chromium tanning at the turn of the century. We get our leather from a small valley in Tuscany, Italy, one of the handfuls of places in the world where this is still done. It’s much more resilient than normal leather, it’s all-natural, eco-friendly, and really smells good too. It will come with a certificate of authenticity and a serial number. THE SMART BELT UNIVERSAL is made out of leather that is dyed structurally, inside, as opposed to painting the top layer. By doing this, we made sure that scratches can be reabsorbed inside the leather itself, a kind of self-healing.

Have you ever had a problem with the wrong size or buying a present for someone, ever been in between sizes? Not our Smart Belt Universal. You will get to make your own size, so no chance of getting it wrong. 

Our Kevlar® Core built with Kevlar® fibres is our staple innovation. Belts wear out because the leather flexes longitudinally and loses structure. Our Kevlar® Core prevents that from happening by reinforcing the whole structure like nothing else. It makes the whole thing highly durable yet light and comfortable.  We are the only licensee authorized by DuPont to make belts using the Kevlar® brand.

THE CASUAL STRAPS

These straps are Polyester and are wider than our leather straps. They are 40 mm wide (1.6″) and have a more casual look. These straps do not have a Kevlar Core as we do not think it to be necessary as these Polyester straps are strong enough without it. 

THE LEATHER STRAPS

These straps are our regular Vegetable Tanned Italian Leather straps with a Kevlar Core. They are dyed-through so the color will not fade and will last much much longer than anything else.  They will cover a max. waist size of 115 cm / 45″ (not pants size, actual measured waist size).
