I have owned many ratchet straps over the years and this is the best I have ever owned. This belt is made of 100% leather and is very well made. Other ratchet straps I had had a thin layer of leather on the outside and foam padding on the inside, which was complete crap. You're lucky if they lasted 6 months before starting to crack and flake. This Chaoren harness is a real bargain and I highly recommend it if you are looking for a ratchet harness.
