A belt system including a belt having a free end, an opposed clamp end, and a plurality of teeth positioned along the free end of the belt. The buckle includes a latch that is actuatable between an engaged position and a retracted position. Wherein when the latch is in the engaged position, the latch is biased against the teeth to mechanically engage the teeth and secure the belt free end with the buckle. When the latch is in the retracted position, the latch is retracted from the teeth to permit removal of the belt free end from the buckle. The buckle also includes a clamp member to secure the belt clamp end to the buckle. The clamp member is positioned on the buckle such that the free end of the belt is substantially concealed by the clamp member and the clamp end of the belt when the free end is inserted through the buckle.
