Quality, design and functionality speak for themselves. This belt is the best belt I have ever worn and has held up great for almost a year. You can tell the full grain leather is durable and the metal buckle is high quality. I recently bought an EasyBelt because it was similar to this belt but half the price. The moment I touched the EasyBelt, I knew I was holding a poor quality item. I am returning the EasyBelt and ordering another Trakline. Trakline really is the best belt in the world. PS I got a lot of good feedback about this belt. I've even had people tell me the belt reminds them of the Iron Man movie.
