Overall, this is a solid hiking belt. The ability to adjust the fit independently of the buckle is a major benefit over traditional belts with size holes. Adjusting the size of the belt is very easy and once attached it holds the size very well. The buckle holds well and the trigger works, but the trigger angle is out of the belt and points to the right, sitting on the left side. Buckle. To release, you must push the releases inward to the right, even if they move to the left. This seems counterintuitive as I would expect it to be overridden.
