If you haven't tried a ratchet strap, your life is dead! I'm the first boater at TJ Max. I've been wearing it every day for 2 years. Eventually it broke so I bought it from Amazon. This belt is of the best quality. Should last more than 2 years which is a lot for an everyday belt. Advantages - Perfect tightness at all times and at all times. Only the face filled, unnecessary clicks. Wearing something on the waste belt is not a problem, perfect tightness. The strap is retarded one last time, and then the old method of sticking through the hole. The plastic clips on them are more durable and tear-resistant. Cons - I mean it can make a clicking noise. Doesn't look 100% like a regular belt but no one noticed and I wear it in formal wear all the time. . Not only will I buy again, I will never buy any other type of belt again.
