What to consider when buying a golf belt
What factors should you consider when buying a golf belt? Let’s take a look.
Material – The first thing you should consider is what do you want the belt to be made out of? No longer are belts just made out of leather these days as nylons, polyesters and other materials and fabrics are used. Each of them create a unique fit, feel and look so knowing what material you want will help narrow down your search.
Size – Importantly most of the models above are one size fits all but sometimes brands adopt more specific sizing measurements so this is definitely something to be aware of.
Colors – As you can see from the key info sections on a lot of the models above, you can now get a golf belt in pretty much any color so it is a case of a) picking one you like the look of, and b) making sure the color will suit the pants and shorts you use for golf. Do not pick a color that only works with one outfit because you want to get more for your money here.
Budget – Finally be aware of how much you want to spend on a belt. If you want to go for a premium design there are models from J Lindeberg and G/FORE which have got you covered. Whereas if you want a more value-conscious option then there are models like the one from Inesis too.
