The belt was good at first, then the end began to crumble and had to be constantly cut. Wanted to try a lighter to see if that would stop wear but never got around to it. Then 2 weeks ago I put the belt. I went to tighten it and the plastic buckle broke in two (2). Update: The seller has contacted me and is in the process of rectifying the situation. I value good customer service and I'm experiencing that right now. So be sure to try this seller.
