Nexbelt Braided Augusta V2 Golf Ratchet Belt 1.38 in (35mm)

The Nexbelt Braided Augusta V2 is a 1 3/8 inch stretch braided golf belt with a ratchet buckle that adjusts in 1/4 inch steps instead of holes.

Why it made the list

A standard belt makes you pick between two holes about an inch apart, and one is usually too tight once you sit in a cart. Nexbelt’s ratchet system fixes that with micro adjustments of 1/4 inch, so you get the fit you want.

The Augusta V2 adds a braided strap with stretch. It gives a little as you rotate through the swing and bend to read putts, which is why it made our list of golf accessories.

What it does well

• The ratchet buckle clicks tighter in 1/4 inch steps, and a push-button release lets it out.
• The stretch braided strap moves with you, so it stays comfortable through a full round.
• A horizontal weave with contrast color detailing gives it a classic golf look that works with pants or shorts.
• The brushed metal buckle has a clean finish that doesn’t look like a gadget.

Because there are no holes, the strap doesn’t stretch out at one spot the way a leather belt does after a few seasons. And since the fit isn’t tied to a hole, you can loosen it a notch after lunch at the turn and snug it back up before you tee off on 10.

Who it’s for

It’s for golfers who want a precise fit that’s easy to adjust mid-round, and anyone whose waist changes between the first tee and the 19th hole. It’s also a solid gift, since sizing is forgiving.

Who should skip it

If you have a waist over 45 inches, this belt won’t fit. Golfers who want a wide, casual belt for jeans might prefer a broader strap.

Key specs, explained

• Width: 1 3/8 inches (35mm), a standard width for golf pants and shorts belt loops.

• Adjustment: 1/4 inch increments.
• Sizing: one size, cut to fit, up to a 45 inch waist.

How it compares

We don’t have another belt in our catalog yet. Against a standard holed belt, the Augusta V2 gives you finer adjustment and stretch, at a higher price than most basic belts. If you already own a leather dress belt you like, this is the one to keep in your golf bag or locker.

If you’re building a gift, it pairs well with the Titleist Tour Performance Hat for a full on-course look.

Good to know

The belt comes long and you cut the strap to size, so measure first and cut carefully. Follow Nexbelt’s instructions, since cutting too short can’t be undone. The price on Nexbelt’s site is $79.99. Nexbelt offers a discount to military, first responders, medical workers and teachers through GOVX ID verification.
