Consider it the "best mousetrap" of the belt. I predict that one day, not too far in the future, this will be the standard type of belt people wear, as opposed to belts with holding holes. on site. I've always had trouble finding the right belt because I have a 33 inch waist. Traditional belts only come in even sizes, which means one of them has always been either too short or too big. It fixes that problem with an absolutely brilliant design! This is a high quality belt at a very reasonable price.
