I can't justify the durability as I only wear it on rare occasions. I can't say it's that comfortable because the description says it should be stretchy and actually it isn't that much. The buckle is stiff and the "lugs" of the buckle that go through the grommets appear to be one piece of metal, not individual ones, so there is no "play" like there was with my two-lug leather belt. should be a replacement. The positive thing I can say is that as nylon it doesn't flex on its own, it folds, unlike my leather. But I got it for my size - 40" waist - thinking it would be flexible enough to give some tolerance and have a "relaxed fit" - it's clearly not relaxed. I really wish i could give a more positive review unfortunately its just not comfortable enough to be more positive about it the reason i didnt return it after wearing it the first time is because it holds my pants like the belt is supposed to, so it works adequately in this most important respect.
