I love this belt style. As a taller guy, I struggle to find comfortable straps. I sit all day at work and when I sit my stomach hangs a little above the belt. I am sitting with standard seat belts and the buckle is starting to dig into my stomach and is becoming very uncomfortable. It flexes with me and offers a comfortable fit when I'm standing and stretches when I'm sitting making it very comfortable. Now I'm losing weight and I love that this belt can grow and shrink with me. I bought one in gray and one in black. I want to get another one in brown.
