If the color of the belt is anywhere near as advertised I would give this belt a higher rating. The belt I received was darker and honestly not a very good shade of brown. I have some old belts that I'm replacing and this belt is a lot thinner and cheaper than the other two. I doubt this belt will last longer than summer but for the price I didn't expect more. This strap is similar in thickness to a backpack strap. I would probably return it just for the color, but I need a new belt and Columbia's belt of choice is 1.5 inches wide and too wide for the golf shorts I wear it with. I'm almost forced to leave this one because I haven't had any luck finding a 1.25" strap locally, and the other options at Revain aren't as good either.
