This product is a waste of money but I think you get what you pay for. Firstly, when the metal slides off the top of pants/shorts when worn (which often happens when doing physical work outdoors), it causes pain on the skin. Second, the damn thing broke completely after only a few wears. The metal tab at the end of the buckle and the buckle itself simply fell apart with normal use. I wore it to work once or twice and then accidentally wore it once or twice and it was over. I had a similar belt that I bought from H&M for $5 that lasted 3 years. This is not a quality product and I will be returning it for a refund.
