This said, this belt will certainly look cool while i sip my hot chocolate in the lounge. And even cooler if i undo my belt every time i open a beer! while this ‘toolbelt’ looks cool, it is completely not practical, especially on the slopes. imagine having to tighten your snowboard bindings on top of the mountain while the cold gusting wind is taking your breath away. first you would have to unzip or lift up your jacket to get to the belt (brrrr), then undo the belt and pull it out of your pants (hoping they will not fall off). after the job is done, the belt would have to go back in (hard to do with frozen fingers and jacket on). another way may be trying to lay on your stomach with the belt on and pivoting yourself around the screwdriver… maybe be entertaining for everyone else on the slopes, but requires daily practice.
