I've been looking for a belt like this for a long time - and that's all I wanted! As someone who goes through security checks almost daily for work (not at the airport and/or TSA pre-check), I was looking for a causal plastic belt. Most of the ones I've bought are stiff nylon straps or have cheap or bulky buckles. , my waist and pant style seems to have changed with the traditional belt. This harness is lightweight, stretches, looks good, is compact, doesn't compromise on safety and still holds up! I will buy several!
