Can this be used if hooked to a belt or pants loop and would I need a longer straw?

I wouldn't think it is designed to be used as belt system. I either tie mine to a pack or put it in the hydration pocket within the pack. It is to long to put on the belt...it would flap against your leg and most like be very inconvenient. That is my two bits!

I do not think a straw will work, but theZiplock pump will. It is cheap & has noBatteries. Works better with the handiVac bags than the Zoploc bags which I think are useless.

I use the straw for my smoothies and protein shakes. I measured the straw and it measured 7/16 diameter at the bottom (straight part) and 5/16 at the top (curved part).

The loop is 2-1/2 " wide, but is stiff plastic and sewn at both ends, so a thick 2-1/4" belt could be tight. The item itself is rather stiff so easy to unsnap.

I'm going to have to look into that. Althought I have not used the straw yet I can only go by the ad an it's Covent size. Thanks for your question anjave a blessed day . If you have any concerns about the straw I would just go with the life straw especially if your hiking overseas.

It's a loop that a belt has to be put through. Probably fits up to 2inch maybe 3 but ever since I've put it on my belt it's stayed there so I can't be 100% sure.

If you use the clip you should be fine, but the loops are shy of 2 1/4", so you'd have trouble using them.

I do not know it is the size of the standard straw you get at the store. Hope this helps.

I am always amused when someone indicates that the straws are "too long" as though that were a problem. The top section is a bendable/accordion style flexibility. It is certainly easier to cut off whatever length you need to from the bottom, then it would be to try to add to the length of the straw. Really, would you expect a long straw to be short when you're looking for a long straw

It appears, that the useful "inside diameter" of the belt loop is actually 2", rather than 2 1/4". Since your belt is still half an inch shorter then that, it would seem, that may allow for a little expansion of the loop to accommodate the 1/4 inch thickness, as it loosens up. Seems like it might work, but really can't tell.

Maximum size belt area is 2". That would max out the loop size. No way anything larger will squeeze through.

I cant tell you in length how long the straw is but I can tell you if you were to get a straw at a fast food place the straw will fit. I have other cups and those straws work with this as well. Hope this helps and makes since

It's possible if you use a big clip to attach to one of the plastic loop then clip it onto your belt

I don't think the belt loops would fit large belts. The (inside) length of the loops is around 1.5"

Unfortunately, it does not. I use the long straws for large ice coffee from Dunkin Donuts and it works very well.

I wouldn't think so. The "spout" has an approx 3/4" diameter - so it would have to be a fairly think straw. I suppose it might be possible to add a rubber gasket of some kind to make it work, or even make you own smaller hole in the lid - but I'm not sure that would be worth the effort? Hope that helps.
