It's adjustable and comfy. Has two clips for the two holes in your run number tag. Each clip has a pointy rubber thing which helps to better ensure the run number is locked into place through the paper holes when the clips are closed.

This bib number belt is really helpful for one main reason: Most belts have the entry number connectors in a fixed position relative to the fastening buckle. This belt lets you slide the connectors closer together, further apart, or eaven all the way around the belt. So odd size race/bib numbers, and unusual event requirements for how/where to display the number are very easily met. If you use a racing push-rim wheelchair or a racing handcycle, this feature is especially great, as you no longer have to deal with the buckle being in the middle of your back, between you and the seat, when the event number is properly displayed.

I like that this belt allows you to put any size bib on it, even though the clamp is a bit over complected. There are 3 parts to it. May be they tough it would keep the bib more secure, but in my experience it only makes it more difficult to use.

Also to open the back buckle you need to push down, not on the sides. I use it for triathlons and put the belt on only for the run. I am in a hurry in transition and really do not want to deal with a buckle that needs to be pushed down - it is harder to do in hurry with shaky hands. Some people keep their belt buckled already and just step into it. But then the bib has a chance of slipping out due to the clamp construction, if I do it this way.

The belt was more expensive, than other belts I've seen.

This tri-belt has race number clips that can be moved to fit your racing bib, which is really nice. The only thing to watch out for is that it runs on the small side. With a 28" waist, it "just" fits me, wouldn't be able to go much larger!

I bought this belt because I didn't want to put holes in my shirt when pinning my number bib on during 5k races. This belt is comfortable, easy to adjust, easy to put on, and easy to attach the number to. From the look of the stock photo, I thought that the number would somehow slide into the clips and damage my number, but it doesn't damage it at all. They lock in place with suspender-type clips but without the claws. They have flat button like things that hold the number in place. I was extremely happy about that, considering I save all my race bibs. I had no issues with my number flapping when I ran or my number moving at all. My only complaint is that this doesn't come in different colors. I knew that other makers offered theirs in a variety of colors, but I love and trust Nathan products, so I went with theirs instead. I highly recommend this to anyone not wanting to pin their number to their clothing. It works perfectly.

The belt does exactly what you expect it to do. Fast and easy to clip on during transitions and holds your number securely. Only easy I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the flapping of the number since it's not secure from the bottom. I knew this would happen but I didn't realize how annoying it was during the biking portion of a tri.
