Check your front and rear pulleys for rust.

Also, check your rear pulley for excessive play and/or cracks.

Check your weights too.

Keep your rear pulley uncovered (removes heat).

Try a stock belt and see if it shreds.

"Kevlar" sounds nice but I'm not sure what the material properties of Kevlar has to do with the material properties you want in a drive belt. Do you see "kevlar" belts advertised in automagazines?

"Kevlar" sounds like "pay more for a * product" to me.

The stock belt has been fine ever since, so it was just a bad kevlar belt.
