Pros: - Great belt for everyday use - I really like the carbon fiber look - You can wear it at checkpoints - Black belt - it's only black. The pretty buckle is mostly black with gray grains showing through. It's not a heavy "tactical" belt, but it's still very strong and narrow enough to fit through almost any belt loop. That's exactly what I wanted. The buckle is amazing - never slips off. And I already mentioned that it looks cool. Goes great with jeans, chinos, shorts, dress pants, etc. In the first picture, the middle black belt is on my 33" waist. Maybe I'll shorten it in the future. The 2nd picture shows how polished the carbon fiber actually is. I like the look! Two small negatives: - Expensive. But I was willing to pay, hence no star - The release tab is on the wrong side of the buckle. It's just some kind of stupidity on the part of the designer. The rating is 1 star for this reason, but putting it on and taking it off is easy enough for me, hence no star. I have another bison belt that is a few years old and still in great condition. So I'm sure this belt will last a long time. for many years of intensive use. I am very happy with this belt and will probably buy the brown one as well. ***** 2 Year Update: After almost 2 years of almost daily use of this belt it is still my FAVORITE belt. The nylon material shows very few pieces but still remains strong. It goes through airports. And still look cool. Definitely a 5 star item.
