I've been using snap belts for a few years and I love them. Perfect size and very easy to use. The problem with most clip-in belts is that the buckle is pressed against the material of the belt by "prongs". Within a few months, sweat, rain and stress simply wear the material down and your teeth break. No big deal as you can just cut off an inch of the strap material and reattach the buckle. However, after this has happened several times, the length of the strap is no longer sufficient and a replacement has to be ordered. This particular click strap is different. The fur is fed through a metal channel in the buckle, folded over and sewn together. Many months of daily use have proven this design to be MUCH better! No slipping, no skin damage, no loose or burst seams. Simply reliable, strong and damn beautiful!
