I am always on the lookout for good quality belts. Currently, I alternate between two: a two-tone brown leather belt and a black Embrazio Curva Belt. I also have a blingy belt that I save for shows.
I have a hard time with belts because they are usually too expensive or too plain, usually both. I've had my eye on the C4 Belts and actually ordered one the other day (in ORANGE!). It's on back order and won't be here for another week or two. In the meantime, I spotted this silicon belt in the Dressage Extensions catalog.

TACKBOX Soft Silicone Belt
When I saw the price, $20.95, I knew I had to give it a try. Dressage Extensions does not have free shipping, or even reasonable shipping, so a friend picked one up for me, and Chemaine delivered it. The shipping would have been $11.00. For a belt?
TACKBOX™ Soft Silicone Belt
Designed for comfort, the TACKBOX™ Soft Silicone Belt is made from supple silicone that moves with you as you ride. Perfectly elastic for active riding, this durable, waterproof belt is ideal for showing and schooling. Looks great with breeches and jeans! With smooth, clean lines, classic construction, metal buckle.
Unplanned selfie - but the white brings the hot pink and military green together!
I have to say, I really like this belt. I don't know how long it will stay bright white, but I am hoping that the silicone will wipe clean with a damp cloth or a Clorox Wipe. I ordered the large because I wear low rise breeches, but with the slight stretch of the belt, I have plenty of holes to tighten or loosen it. It's also a bit wider than I thought, but I actually prefer it as it works with the breeches I wear most often.
For $21 bucks, I think it's an awesome addition to any rider's belt collection. You just might want to find a cheaper way to get it shipped!
How many of you are wearing the C4 belts, by the way, and do you like them?
