Great idea. These straps are great - stepless adjustment. No intermediate holes - never too loose or too tight. I will mention two caveats. Size - Order the closest current waist measurement. My waist is in the 33 inch range but 32/34 was too small. I ordered 36/38 and they fit perfectly. Next - get acquainted with the principle of the belt and learn how to unfasten the belt before putting it on.
