Very well made and durable. I started wearing an adjustable ratchet strap a few years ago. The one I had was made of "plastic skin" and started to crack. It still worked fine but was just starting to look rough. I'm impressed with the look of this belt, it's supposed to be leather so we'll see how well it holds up. The buckle is sturdy and the latch to open is better than my other. My original might come off if it gets caught on something. I highly recommend this belt.
