Anyone bought one recently? I have been using a mates for about two years plus.

I would like to buy a decent one suitable for 5mm and 7mm wetties.

What are the best options please?

Have done a search in the forum but most entries seem to be about DIY jobs and I would be useless at that.
 
Get a stretchy, elastic, rubbery type, not the unelastic chord fabric type.
An elastic belt will always fit better. The only downside is that you must take care of it: rubbery material is more fragile than chord fabric.

I'm using this one, but there are many others with the same characteristics:
Mares Elastic US Buckle Belt. Accessories Belts, Scubastore.com, buy, offers, dive

As for the buckle, the simpler the better: both marseillaise and "quick release" clip types of buckle are easy to get on and off quickly.
