While I like the ease of fastening this belt, the material of the belt is not as strong as the original. The thinness allows it to bend and fold.
Pros
EXCELLENT FUNCTIONALITY: In addition to the above slightly narrower elastics, buckles and buckles go through the belt loops more easily. The logo on the buckle and the label on the strap face inward to keep it clean and not upside down for left-handers who tend to thread the straps in the opposite direction.
