This is the third one I've bought. I like to have spares in case they wear out and trust me all belts wear out. I'm still on the first one I bought from you guys and it's going strong. The original strap that came with the belt broke and I've had it for at least 4 or 5 years. I just bought two others as a backup. I have an unusual waist size that fluctuates a lot. It's nice that this belt style can do the same.
