About

Established in 2022, co-owners Kristian and Paul were fed up with belts on the market, constantly digging and pinching and not doing their job by keeping up their trousers. Being bigger guys, they were interested in finding a belt for themselves and other bigger guys out there, and that is when Bear belts was founded.

An elasticated buckle free belt that is perfect for the guy with a bigger tummy, no more buckles digging in and leaving marks, no more need for a bigger belt if you but on a bit of weight and have used up all of those notches, our fully elasticated waistband is adjustable and stretchy.
