Steep terrain creates constant downward drag that makes belts slip and sag with every step up. Granite's tension mechanism grips harder under load—the steeper the climb, the tighter the hold.

Camp setup, water filtering, and pack adjustments mean constant crouching that creates gaps traditional belts can't close without retightening. Granite automatically recovers tension through every position change.
Cold mornings require extra layers, midday heat strips them off, evening chill adds them back—each change leaves traditional belts either cutting in or hanging loose. Granite's micro-adjustment locks at any point without compromise.
Clipping gear to a belt creates a dilemma: carry the weight and deal with sagging, or wear something so stiff it's uncomfortable and loud. Granite eliminates the trade-off—handles real load while staying quiet and flexible.
Tested this on a 3-day loop in the Cascades with a 40lb pack. Zero adjustments needed after the first mile. My old leather belt would've been sagging by lunch on day one. The micro-adjust is clutch when you're layering up and down with elevation changes. Worth every penny if you're tired of fighting your gear.
Been using "tactical" belts for years thinking stiff = durable. They'd hold gear but felt like wearing a 2x4. Granite Lock handles the same weight without the bulk. Threw my headlamp, Leatherman, and bear spray on it during a week in the Smokies—stayed put, no hot spots. Clips easy, sits flat, doesn't announce itself when you're moving through brush.
I guide in Colorado and go through belts like water. Creek crossings, constant pack rub, clients grabbing it when they slip—most last maybe a season. Granite's on month 8 with zero fraying or loosening. The forged buckle actually feels bullet-proof. If you're hard on gear and don't want to replace it every spring, this is it.
