It looks as though the waist band "hooks" instead of latches. Does the hook ever come off during use?

In the few months that I've got it, the "hook" has never unhooked itself during use. Not even once. Hope this helps!

No. It took me two tries (15 mins) to adjust and it was fine. Latch was very secure. I did this in the summer weather. Now in the colder weather I adjusted the tension tighter and it is fine and the latch is very secure.

There is a "tensioned" bracket on the back of the product. The bracket goes over your belt. It stays put pretty well. However, I would recommend gluing the ends of the bracket together, thus forming a loop. Yes, a loop on the product would have been optimal, but this is easy to fix.

It adjusts in a similar manner as an airline seatbelt. There is a clasp that can but doesn't have to be opened or closed. As part of the clasp, there is a part that can be pulled on to shorten the functional length of the strap. There is a moveable elastic piece that can stop the hanging.I just leave it at full length...

no it is permanently attached.... however if you check out some of the other reviewers I recall reading about someone who cut the strap off and replaced it with hooks and something like a longer guitar strap successfully. its in the reviews from last spring. check there.

Hi LeonardThere is a hook just like the one in the picture at the other end for securing to the trailer. And yes; you can cut off the loose end of the strap if you wish, although I am not really sure why you would want to make the strap proprietary (much less versatile) instead of keeping it in a versatile (able to be used for many applications) condition. the bottom line here is that it is your strap and you can shorten it if you wish.

I havent had that problem. Maybe you can find a large washer from your local hardware store and put those on the inside of the knot and it might prevent it from coming out of the loops.

Its a strap you could put it through your belt loop before you put the belt on. It does not come off and there is no Velcro for it to come undone.Thanks

I also am having the same problem. I called the customer service number & she said to make a loop and get it just right and it comes right off. Not on mine. There doesn't seem to be a slot where the old belt can slide off. Help?? Anyone??

No, the hooks are tighter. They are made for a standard chin-up bar. Hope it helps. P.S. As to the quality - they are amazing. I use them for 13 years now, the same boots. At least 3-4 times a week. I even do 90 degree body rotation every time with my heavy 200 lbs. They hold everything.

It is like a hook. It fastens to the bottom of the belt. My son has had his for over a year. He really likes his, so I bought my husband one.

There is a hook that the curved top of the hanger hooks into. It does not come undone often. I actually love these hangers and have found them very sturdy.

Mine is put away in a very frigid attic and I will need warmer days to investigate this inquiry further. My recollection is that I do NOT believe that the waist strap is detachable. However, if you fill up this bag with quality camera equipment, you will not only want the waist support, you'll need that waist belt as an extra fail safe to protect your valuable investments.

it does not. In fact i only worn it once, as it fits awkwardly. Got a cargo pouch instead. My belt is always around my waist held with trucker suspenders.
