Travel is changing

As security tightens up worldwide the future of travel becomes inconvenient in many ways.  All plastic or nylon belts and other gear is becoming more and more popular. And this means convenience of travel is becoming more sought after and will continue most likely as time progresses year by year.
Travel Gear is changing.  This includes Travel Belts, cash belts, travel clothing, accessories and a plethora of other related products.  This is where we are focusing our energy at Alpenlore.
Designing products which are lightweight, move with your body, help you rest better during flights and feel comfortable.  Our Belt products serve that purpose in regards to "hands-free".  Not having to remember to carry a small survival Kit with you.  It`s always wrapped around you where it`s easily accessible.
On the other hand there are a lot of other products we would like to develop and which are a priority?  Deciding which product to design takes a lot of research.  Talking to random people after a flight is one of our target research techniques.  We ask "How could you flight been more comfortable?".   Comfort & Convenience while at the same time looking good!
Please help us by telling us how we can improve your comfort and convenience.  We would love to design it for you.  In fact we are excited to hear from you.  We are always impressed by the ideas people provide us by email.  They ask if we can custom make this or that and if we receive custom orders for particular items or styles, we pay attention to that and consider incorporating it into our designs.  In fact, the belts we offer now are a direct result of customer requests.  
Materials for our belts are of the highest quality and we often receive compliments about that.  Using high quality products, especially those made in the U.S.A. is another goal.  Currently our products come from Austria, Japan and the U.S. but in a few months we will replace our Japanese materials with American made materials.  We are very excited about that.
However, we do love the buckles we are using from Austrialpin.   They are a great company that build solid and good looking products and we have enjoyed how well this product has worked with our belts.
What we want to do next with our belts is to make a more Office friendly version that can compliment a nice pair of slacks and shirt as well as a nice Italian blazer.
