I've been wearing this Mission 35mm Black Leather Belt every day outside on heavy construction work (including weekends) for about 2 years now. The belt has performed excellently in difficult conditions. I work outside year round so I wear layers in cold winter weather - I often shed clothing during the day or add layers as the temperature changes - this strap and ratchet buckle work instantly and flawlessly for any adjustments needed . These mission belts have proven to me that they are high quality, durable belts. The packaging and presentation are also successful. I believe that the mission statement is to make customers happy with a well-made product! There are no disappointments here! - Obtain!
