waistbelts

Buckled midsection straps

Waistbelts are belts worn around the waist.

The term appears in contexts where belt alone might be ambiguous—distinguishing from shoulder belts, seat belts, or belt as a verb.

Military and police uniforms often specify waistbelts as part of standard kit: Officers shall wear black leather waistbelts with brass buckles.
