I got this after two Columbia Canvas Web straps accidentally broke their buckles. Pros: It lasts even though I'm not at the same 1 year point of failure as Columbia. belt that I wore. Cons: Tighter and softer. While they do what they're supposed to do, they don't have the stiffness or width that I liked on the Columbia belt. Bottom line: They work, but I think I can just leave it as a backup belt and go back to Colombia. or another brand for a better belt and accept that they may not work.
