Get some trees around you with the Arcade Blackwood Belt, a refreshed version of one of the brand's classic stretch belts. A forest-inspired design rides on full-width recycled stretch webbing with a buckle that conforms to your body. Feeding it through loops and releasing it are both effortless, and it stays comfortable through long days on the move.

Why we like it:

It's an Arcade classic for a reason, and this refresh keeps the woodsy design while running the brand's patented buckle that feeds and releases with almost no effort.

Features and Functions:

This season's Blackwood uses Arcade's patented A2 buckle, molded from high-density plastic that's lightweight but built for hard use. Its contoured, low-profile shape follows your form, and the tapered design slips through loops easily, holding tight under load and releasing with less pressure when you're done. The full-width webbing is 85% post-consumer recycled REPREVE polyester with 15% rubber, offering stretch with no pinching. Because it's metal-free, it can stay on at airport security, it goes into the washer and dryer like any other piece of clothing, and micro-adjustment gives you a more precise fit than holes ever could. The elastic keeper tames the tail.

Bottom Line:

The Blackwood is an everyday stretch belt for skiers, hikers, and travelers who like a little outdoor character in their gear. It's at home on jeans, work pants, and ski-town afternoons.
