Belty Knows When to Loose or Tighten Itself, Based On Fitness Data

Posted on 07/01/2015 by Hazel Chua

Just when you think that you’ve seen it all when it comes to wearables… along came Belty. It’s a smart belt with the unique “autoadaptability” feature which adjusts the belt automatically, depending on what you’re doing. That means you won’t have to tighten or loosen the belt in between activities, like say, standing up or working on something while crouched on the ground.

Belty also has a built-in fitness tracking feature which works in conjunction with your mobile device to keep track of your waistline and other stats over time.

Belty is set for release before the end of 2015.

This Belt Doubles as a Scooter

Posted on 30/10/2014 by Conner Flynn

Product designer Ádám Török, from Sopron, Hungary, came up with the idea for this truly unique scooter. He made it for a school graduation project. His thinking is that in the future, most vehicles will be portable. So why not have a belt that converts into a scooter?

Maybe you missed the bus or don’t have a car. No worries. You won’t have to walk. Just take off your belt and use it as a scooter. This not very stylish belt is made of metal and plywood and weighs about four pounds.

That’s certainly a heavy belt, but as technology progresses and materials get lighter, this could become more feasible. Who knows? One day we may wear our motorcycles like vests too.

Exercise Storage Belt: Stash Your Stuff So You Can Moving

Posted on 07/10/2014 by Hazel Chua

So you’re working up a sweat… when you suddenly remember you have to make a call or pay a workout buddy that five bucks you owed him from last week. Stopping your workout to get stuff from your locker can be a pain because it throws your momentum off. If you’d rather have you stuff on you and don’t mind the extra weight, then you might want to check out the Flip Belt.

It’s a storage belt made specially for exercisers so you can stash your essentials (like your keys, phone, some cash, your credit cards) and non-essentials (like your iPod, comb, some mint) and carry them with you while you work out.

Survival Belts: The Belt for Boy Scouts

Posted on 19/09/2014 by Hazel Chua

This belt is for survivors. It’s Slide Belt’s Survival model, and it stays true to its name because it’s built to last through the toughest of situations. The belt is waterproof, resistant to abrasions, and UV protected. It even flexes like normal even at sub-zero temperatures– a feature you’ll appreciate if ice climbing is one of your hobbies.

Aside from that, the belt features a built-in bottle opener which definitely comes in handy when you’re out with the guys. Cough up a few more bucks for the Survivor model and you’ll get a belt that comes with a striker and ferrocerium fire starter rod that’s good for 1,000 strikes.

The belts are up for funding on Kickstarter, where $59 will get you the Survival model while $89 will get you the Survivor Belt with the firestarter.

GoldenEye 007 Mine Belt Buckles: TSA Unapproved

Posted on 03/09/2014 by Lambert Varias

If Industries – the folks behind the cool arcade coin slot belt buckles – are back with another set of geeky accessories. These ones look like the proximity mine and the remote mine, two of the weapons from the N64 shooter GoldenEye 007. If they can’t get into your pants, then no one will.

If Industries isn’t selling the buckles as of this writing. Maybe you can tweak the 3D printed remote mine replica that we saw last year and turn it into a buckle.

Bottle Belt

Posted on 13/06/2014 by Radhika Seth

We all know that it is important to stay hydrated while exercising but the problem is carrying a bottle when out on a run. Looping in a bottle at the waist is inconvenient so designers Yuan Peizhuo & Jin Huijian have fashioned the Annulus, a water bottle belt that holds about 350 ml of liquid. A clever contraption that comes handy and adds to the exercise!
