Who is Mission Belt?
“Give a man a fish and you feed him for the day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” A lot of people know how to fish, they just can’t afford the nets.
When you buy a Mission Belt you become a part of a great philanthropic effort – or as they like to call it, THE MISSION. At Mission Belt, they don’t just want you to look good – they want you to feel good too. That’s why a dollar from every belt goes to fight hunger and poverty worldwide through micro-lending. These micro-loans range from $25-$500 dollars per loan. Small loans make huge differences. There are millions of industrious, motivated people striving and fighting for a better life and sometimes the only thing holding them back is a little capital to get started. It’s a hand up, not a handout.
I chose to review 9 of their belts and I hope you enjoy this review in both video and text form
Packaging
Something that is very important for me when truly appreciating an item is the way I receive the item. Even if the product remains the same, a poorly packaged item will always be less desirable to me that a well-packaged one. I like to have a good overall experience that’s all.
The packaging from Mission Belt was unique. The belts were stored in long black boxes that are close securely with magnets. I really liked the packaging because it felt like somewhere I will actually store my belts rather than a drawer. This packaging actually functions as a really good belt storage space as well as a deliverable package.

The Products & Features
Each one of these belts has a built-in mechanism that I didn’t really understand until I got my hands on them. None of the belts have holes. Yeah, I know, my mind was blown. Simply pull the belt strap through the loops and feed it through the buckle. As you pull it through, you hear a really satisfying clicking sound. Pull it to the tightness you want and let go! The belt is locked in place and fits seamlessly around your waist.
To undo the belt you just lift up a metal switch on the underside of the buckle and the belt comes right off. Once I’d put it on and used it, I couldn’t believe how much more efficient it was than trying to find a hole.
High-Quality Leather
Each belt is made from a traditional leather that you immediately recognize by smell. You’ll also find different patterns on the inner side of the belt which adds to the overall feel of wearing the belts. Really nice details.
