At first I was skeptical that this strap would break, wear out or fall apart over time, but it holds up great with no issues no matter how hard I pull on it. Snaps repeatedly, leaving no obvious holes in places along the belt. Very strong and durable. The best belt I've ever had. Supports any pant I wear it on. I'm 6ft 1in, 325lbs. Nice thick buckle, looks good and very well made.
