I've worn stretch belts most of my life, I'll be 60 soon. Most belts have a lot of built in elastics and I wear them very well. I have a 38 waist and I order SMALL on most elastic straps for all the added benefits they have. There are no complaints about it because I'm used to them. I bought this because people said it wears out slower and it feels a little thicker and wider and stronger and on the weekends I wear the gun on my belt thinking it would give less of a load with a heavy gun hanging there . I was warned to take a size larger than normal so ordered a medium size even though the size chart said to go large/x large. I was glad I got a size bigger than the regular rubber bands. This belt is much stiffer and stronger than most. This also means it has a lot less recoil. The medium barely fits, but it's perfect for me. I don't like messing around with lots of extra straps because I carry a handcuff key and other small items on the other side of my thigh. I usually take the extra length of the belt and double it into a belt loop. This is exactly the size I needed. SO: This belt is stronger and heavier than the average elastic belt on Amazon, AND it has a lot less added bulk, so make sure you get at least a size up from what you usually get with an elastic belt. As I noted before, I usually get SMALL even though the tables say LARGE / X LARGE. Too much extra strap for me when tightening it to the desired tension. I'm getting SMALL in others and MEDIUM in this one, and that's EXACTLY - no further action. Perfect for me, but everyone has their own preferences. Seems to be very good quality but time will tell.
