Problems solved by technology

Although belts may adequately support wearers' clothing, they often are time consuming to configure, require manual dexterity to use, interfere with wearer movement, fail to properly fit garments to wearers, and obstruct or damage supported clothing.
Consequently, conventional belts suffer from a number of disadvantages.
