One-handed closure is the headline on the Arcade Aero Mag Belt, a magnetic stretch belt that snaps together on its own and stays locked until you release it. Upgraded, abrasion-resistant stretch webbing and a tough, metal-free buckle complete the design. It's quick to clip in a parking lot with gloves half on and secure enough to trust on a full day out.

Why we like it:

The magnets. The buckle halves find each other and click together with one hand, and an internal tension lock means it doesn't pop open when you don't want it to.

Features and Functions:

Arcade's SwiftLock magnetic buckle uses embedded magnets to guide the closure together, then an internal tension-lock system keeps it fastened until you open it with one hand. Arcade calls it its strongest buckle yet, and it's still very light. It's paired with Performance Stretch Pro webbing, an upgraded strap made from 85% post-consumer recycled REPREVE polyester and 15% rubber that holds firm and adds abrasion resistance for extra durability. Micro-adjustment lets you set an exact fit, and Arcade says its Mag belts have been tested to be travel friendly through airport security. An elastic keeper handles any extra tail.

Bottom Line:

The Aero Mag is Arcade's do-everything, go-everywhere belt, built for people who want the fastest on and off with zero fiddling. It's especially handy in ski boots and layers, when bending over to thread a buckle is the last thing you want to do.
