waist belt

Midsection fastening accessory

A waist belt is a belt worn at the waist, as distinguished from belts worn elsewhere on the body.

The term appears most often in contexts where precision matters—military gear, hiking equipment, or fashion descriptions where multiple belt types exist: The backpack's waist belt helps distribute weight to the hips.
