For many years I always hated belts cutting into my waist. I'm a tall guy and belts were never my type, they either cut me off the air when I sat or cut my waist. I bought this hoanan belt and at first I thought hmm this is hard I'm gonna hate it. It turns out to be a blend of tactile nylon with a soft, stretchy material. I love these belts and plan to buy more. All night at work my jeans held up, no adjustment needed. Has just enough stretch to keep you feeling great while still holding your pants. The belt was easy to tighten and the quality seems good. I 100% recommend this belt and the price is really good.
