This is a thinner version of another belt with a lighter YKK buckle. So far, so good. My main concern is that as mentioned in another review the grays and browns are shiny and really look like silver and gold. Because they're thinner, they're more flexible and comfortable, which may be a good thing, but I didn't buy them for Halloween. I doubt they will collapse or roll under the heaviest of loads, but the buckle is the weak link here. All but one of my heavier belts broke the hinge pin which is a death sentence so I had to buy another belt because NO ONE SELLS JUST BUCKLES!?!? I mean, like everywhere else on the internet, unknown, I know. Based on my experience I would like to buy 5 more buckles as they break after 12-18 months despite taking good care of my gear. Also, I wish the colors weren't so costumed. However, the OD appearance was fine.
