These great straps are easy to adjust and cut to length and are comfortable to wear. The buckle is made of plastic, but holds up well and is securely fixed, does not slip. My annoyance, and this is my fault, is that I shortened the coffee-colored belt a bit and lost the belt loop as a result. I'm seriously considering getting a few more, but probably in the 1.25 inch size. But I want a plastic buckle, not a metal buckle.
