I think the design of this belt is great! I received it today and cut off a few inches to get it to the right length. The instructions were easy to follow. I put the belt on and you just tug on it to get the exact size you need. It holds up well and there is a strip on the other side of the buckle to hold the extra length so nothing dangles. Yes, it fixes you on the perfect size and the price is very reasonable! It's a keeper!
