Potential buyers should be aware that these straps run a bit small - about two inches. So if your waist is 36, order 38. You will need two more inches to get through the loop. I have found that a person can wear one of these for 6 months to a year before it wears out. I know there are stronger belts, but they cost 3 times as much and are not reversible. I think this belt is excellent value for money.
