I carry 2.5 kg on my belt all day. From the moment I get up to the moment I go to bed, I have a very physical job. I destroy belts in a very short time. This one actually feels like it could last a long time, the braided strap is very thick and durable. The buckle closes and closes beautifully and so far it hasn't shifted, changed size throughout the day, or completely fallen apart. Love it, haven't noticed much kickback, if any, it's just there and solid. Highly recommended. The order was processed at 10pm and delivered the next day at 11am.
