stretchy web weight belt

[socaljohn]

Back in the day (mid 1970's) I had stretchy web weight belt. The ones I see online look to be a rubber belt but this one looked just like a black nylon weight belt with a wire buckle but it stretched. Anybody recall these and know where I could find one. Thought I would check here before I give up.

Some buckles have a section that stretches a little IIRC.

Back then, I used to have a nylon webbing weight belt, that had an accordion section held compressed with surgical tubing.

I haven't seen one in years.

Not much help am I.


All the best, James

PS - I use a rubber weight belt in the tropics with a wet suit, and it's awesome. Far better than my old stretchy belt ever was.
